Fireplace Renovation Advice
Comments (16)I personally like the brick fireplace, but I can see the need for a mantle. If you don't like the brick facing I would maybe clad the two sides and top with a steal, maybe stainless but probably something a little more rustic, this could then appear to hold the mantle which I would do in a reclaimed oak or something to match the shelves in your living room. I would then remake the shelving to the left in the same material, possibly add lighting and a little shallower, I would also add a modern log basket, I agree that shouldn't touch the stone as it goes through the rest of your home, by the way the rest of your home looks great!...See MoreDouble Fireplace Advice
Comments (11)I have to say that I don't like how they've done it. It looks very heavy and crude, imbalanced. But I was thinking that you could perhaps use oak, like the beams, and white to make it a bit lighter and keep it free from the floor, so you could use the space under it for wood storage if you like. So wanted to sketch that for you, but hooray... found the perfect image of what I was thinking... It's from a Dutch site http://blokvorm.nl/projecten/tv-meubel-1/, has more images (I'm Dutch) Perhaps you could use the kitchen side too and have some shelves for cookbooks for example...See MoreFireplace surround advice
Comments (9)Ooo thanks so much for the response. I love these ideas. I prefer the soft white look of the limestone. But the Carrara marble would be more authentic to the era. So it’s tough to decide. Particularly like the last fireplace surround on your first post (the London fields house). That looks to be a Carrara marble. Do you think that option would go with our fireplace insert tiles? As the carrara has grey flecks in there. Closer up image of the tiles below - the base colour in the tiles is a dark brown. Thanks...See MoreMedia Wall fireplace advice please
Comments (3)Hi Ranj, I don't know a lot about them but everything I have fitted for clients has had the 300mm to 360mm depth you have mentioned - here are two that say they are shallower depth but you would need to read through all the details and maybe discuss with a heating engineer to check it is not a standard dimension that needs to be around the fireplace itself. https://amantii.com/thin-fireplaces/ https://www.diy.com/departments/livingandhome-led-electric-wall-fireplace-9-flame-colours-with-freestanding-leg-black-70inch/0735940225403_BQ.prd?ds_rl=1272379&gclid=Cj0KCQjwio6XBhCMARIsAC0u9aGWILJA7jnUE84Crtsp0Y2FB-w011dqtYbGGbS9TXAvpLY2HbNNt0saArXZEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds I hope this helps and apologies I didn't know more :) Thanks, Gina...See MoreNico Cozy
