Fireplaces are one of the most ancient concepts of heating homes. However, with the modern obsession of home improvements, fireplaces have moved beyond mere heating. They now also perform the task of beautifying your interior decor.
Originally, log fireplaces were required in many rooms of the house. Then central heating was invented and fireplaces became less desirable. A revival in modern times has seen fireplaces installed in more than just the living room. Now you can find different types of fireplaces including gas log, electric, traditional wood burning and even some portable fireplaces for your home. People also use other heating solutions such as electrical heaters, hydraulic, and ducted gas heating systems. But a fireplace is the traditional way which will keep your rooms warm during the winter. And now, you can enhance the interior decor and theme of your rooms by installing a fireplace.
Unique Fireplace Concepts: Think Outside The Living Room
- Bedroom– a fireplace in the bedroom gives the room a relaxing and appealing look. And therefore, having one installed in the bedroom can just enhance the look of the room. However, when you are installing a fireplace for your bedroom, you need to consider something which is safe and which does not release any harmful gas.
- Office– fireplaces are perfect for decorating your home office because they are warm, elegant, and provide a focus. Place armchairs by the fire and talk to clients there. How can they resist your business charms… and you’ll save on gas and electrical bills too.
- Bathroom– imagine the luxury of having a working fireplace blazing away while you take a dip in the tub? That is exactly what unique fireplace concepts is all about.
- Lawns and gardens– modern home owners have also started having fireplaces outdoors so that having a gala event outdoors in the cool weather can just be perfect. You can use a portable fireplace such as a fire pit and move it to the spot you want (before it’s lit, of course)
