At the hearth of every home
Nothing makes a winter night cosier than snuggling up in front of the fire.
At a time of year when we have to put the car in the garage, make sure the house is set for the seasonal elements, nothing beats watching your fireplace with your loved ones.
And nowadays fireplaces can be found in dining rooms, kitchens, master bedroom suites and outdoor living spaces on the patio.
They provide a comfortable gathering place and also they make a room look beautiful.
That is why it is important to have the right fireplace design for your home.
Choosing the right fireplace design and type is key to ensuring your fireplace enhances your decor rather than become an eye sore.
And when picking out your fireplace, there are many things to consider that might limit your choices.
Decisions about the functionality of the heating of your fireplace and the overall aesthetic of the fireplace are both important.
First you’ll have to decide what type of fireplace is right for you and your family.
Is it a source of main heat or will it be used for decorative reasons? What kind of fuel do you prefer? You can choose from an electric, gas or wood burning fireplace.

Gas fireplaces have created a strong trend with more affordability than wood- burning fireplaces which require a Class A chimney.
Gas fireplaces being pre- fabricated metal units have taken most of the marketplace mainly because of cost alone.
What makes gas fireplaces popular is that they provide radiant heat and a hearth flame without the inconvenience of wood.
There is different sizes and decorative choices in gas fireplaces than that offered by wood- burning fireplaces.
Electric fireplaces can come right out of the box and comes already constructed.
They are usually a bit smaller, a perfect choice for the more modest living room and the perfect addition to any bedroom to add the ultimate romantic style to it. Just imagine cuddling up. If you are planning to have a wood- burning fireplace then construction materials are of specific importance.
Brick fireplace designs are the most common choice, because brick doesn’t show smoke stains.
Another common material is stone and there are many varieties of stone fireplace such as limestone, marble, slate or ceramic tile.
So this autumn why not make your favourite room at the hearth of your home.
