The following considerations should be made when choosing your fireplace designs
- Decide on your fireplace’s main function
Before deciding on the best possible fireplace design for your home, you need to decide what its main function will be. Are you simply looking to install a fireplace for aesthetic value, for warmth, or a combination of both?
- Choose your preferred installation location
Once you know what function your fireplace will serve, you need to decide where the best location would be to install it – will it be in your bedroom or living room? The place of installation will also have an impact on the type of design as larger rooms may require a different style for better heating efficiency.
- Determine your budget
Decide what your total budget for your new fireplace installation is – your budget should include the fireplace, as well as installation costs.
- Choose your preferred fuel type
Decide whether you prefer a wood-burning or gas fireplace. We have a wide selection of both options available at Fire and Gas Lifestyles.
- Have a look at available designs to find a suitable style
Do some research and have a look at available fireplace designs and trims to see what will work best with your current interior design. With the range of fireplace designs available today, in an assortment of colours and finishes, you are bound to find a solution to match your interior perfectly.
- Make sure you know what the fireplace looks like when not burning
Your fireplace will not be burning constantly, which is why it is important to see what it looks like when it is not burning to ensure that it will fit in with your current interior style.
- If possible, work with a full-service retailer
For peace of mind, work with a full-service retailer when installing a new fireplace. Doing so will ensure that your fireplace installation is done professionally, and you will have a go-to service provider for all questions and possible maintenance issues that may arise.
