Here the experts at Calore share further insights into fireplaces in the home.
Which rooms of the home are best suited for a fireplace?
Generally one would place a fireplace in your central living space to distribute heat as economically as possible. However fireplaces can be installed in smaller rooms like bedrooms and studies, as long as proper specification and installation principles are followed for the best possible result.
What types of fireplaces work best in these rooms?
The chosen fireplace is dependent on the home owner’s heating requirements and lifestyle. It is always best to trust a qualified consultant for advice in order not to over- or under-specify the final installed product.
Tips for home owners looking to make their fireplace the main focal point of the room
Apart from its functional attributes a fireplace can make a serious statement in any room. Choose something that complements your taste, personality and design style. For a cohesive look be conscious about room scale, surrounding furniture and other design elements in your room that may influence your choice. Be bold and select a conversation piece.
