Need help with fireplace.

11 years ago

I'm currently in the process of building my house. Instead of doing the original fireplace, I love do go with this one. Can you please tell me how the wall need to be build to instead this fireplace, and how does this fireplace work? The price, and where to buy it?

Hi again! For anyone that's interested, I have finally managed to have a go at my varnished stone fireplace and am pretty happy with the results… It's not perfect but makes a huge difference in terms of light in the room and cost me next to nothing! I used a tiny bit of annie sloan paint to dull and lighten the stone - my mum sent me leftovers of 'paris grey' that she had used on some furniture. The link I had found which described the painting process belonged to an artist, so I was aware that my results would differ quite drastically from hers, but I'm still happy! I also had a new mantlepiece made from old planks that my boyfriend has had stashed away for years - a carpenter we often use put it together for the equivalent of about US$10. We don't own the house so I haven't waxed the paint on the stone (meaning it can be washed off with water and a light scrub) and the new mantlepiece is literally slotted on top of the old one and discreetly screwed in place. It is no huge home improvement project but made a big difference to the feel of the room using minimal time, money and mess… Now just the rest of the room to decorate…!

Hi Anna, perhaps a photo of the space will help?

Hi Diana, I see what you mean, if there is no room to inset a fire your choice will be a lot more limited. The type of fire you need is known as a front mounted/outset one, there are a few out there in both traditional and contemporary styles (I'm not sure which would be your preference), unfortunately the nice looking ones will not be cheap. You could think about doing it in stages, initially paint the wood on your existing fire to match the chosen wall colour which would tone it down whilst you save up for what you really want. You could add a simple surround to the existing as a stop gap which would again make the existing less of a stand out feature. To change the fire I expect you will need to budget at least £1000 to buy a fire and get it fitted plus the inevitable redecoration of the wall. These are the sort of things around, if you don't want a hearth http://www.flavelfires.co.uk/products/shopby/product_style-wall_mounted_outset_fires/?limit=all If you google outset gas fire you should find something that you like, but I'm afraid it is going to be expensive.

Hi all, Thanks for your comments. The vendor did leave behind the original doors for the house (and the cupboard doors). The flat was rented and so needed the fire doors pictured. We are planning on changing these and the tip of moving the hinges and light switch is great; thank you. Picture rails are definitely on the cards. a few of the other rooms have them already.We like the colour tone pictured below for the walls. Other suggestions always encouraged though. We'll keep the cupboard at the moment for convenience, but the plan is to either remove it entirely to reflect the other side of the chimney breast or put in fitted alcove storage on both sides, similar to the image below. We're wondering whether to strip the black paint off the fireplace-range to let the cast iron show and maybe re-paint the fireplace surround. We're also thinking about replacing the hearth . Keep those ideas coming :) Jamie
