How did they get this fireplace on the wall!!!

4 years ago

How do you get this kind of effect? Is it a log burner? Or electric?

That’s probably the corner of a three sided gas flame effect fire. Drufires make a wide selection as do many other manufacturers

I’d say your spot on, I can see the far corner in the wood storage area below the stove

How to open up and old fireplace.....

Hi BFM, just looking at previous posts relating to opening up fireplaces and can't find anything that seems to mirror our current situation. Every fireplace in our new home (and there should be 6!) has been sealed with cement. There is no vent on the inside wall...in fact all there seems to be in the vicinity of where the fireplaces should be are plug sockets. I am absolutely desperate to start opening one up (I'd like to open them all up in time) just to see what they've done. Nothing seems to have been done "correctly" in the house so uncovering lots of mysteries. I'll post a photo example below.

Hi Hilary, thank you so much for your kind comments. It gets pretty darn cold up here, in N Yorkshire and when the fire is lit, it really does warm up the room (whilst the rest of the house is like a bloomin' ice box!) Hello again Bespoke Decorative Finishes, thank you too for your kind words. Ah, the gold mirror is from ebay - thank you again. Yours is beautifully done and so clever and sophisticated; mine is a bit 'rustic' but I think ok for the room, in probably a very basic way, which has limestone flags. When I first came to the house 8 years ago, the previous owner had built the fireplace out in the same stone as the back of it to 1.5 metres on both sides of the fire, projecting forwards into the room. I thought it was pretty hideous because it was was way too big and dominating and it also seemed to absorb the light as it is not a well lit room. So I borrowed a jack hammer and over the weeks, in the evenings, I took the stone walls down which stretched about 70cm each side too. It was a bit task and I took out a lot of stone. Then I found the two RSJs. I think I said on another post, I couldn't understand why there were two, one on top of the other, so I took one out. BIG mistake. The room above is my bedroom and I noticed when I went to bed, the floor had dropped by 4". Ooops!

I think you need the architectural features to pull something like this off otherwise in a basic box shape room it can look a bit o.t.t. (see pics, although I do think the grass rug is fun:)). But just having a nod to it in art, a few accessories, fancy mirror or light fitting or maybe an item of furniture and you can get the theme but not so overwhelming. So I’ve got some tree silhouette bedside lights which I love and a bargain french style chair from gumtree, then kind of veered off a bit and started with a winter beach type colour scheme (see my inspo pic). Still work in progress but happy with it and it’s lovely and tranquil for a bedroom.

Hi. Thanks a lot for all your precious feedback, I found all hints very useful. This is mine to yours: 1) Sitting down on my sofa I would be 3.5/4 meters far from the TV, so the experience would not be immersive like I wish (I like watching movies in the evening when not out). There is a return policy I can use if too big so I can eventually scale down to 55. The living room is small but not too much and the TV is one of the modern thin ones with nice frames that become a paintings when not in use... let’s see!😂 2) I like the fireplace as decoration, I have a nice plant there.. I would be sorry to loose it, furthermore if I move the TV there then it would cover partially the wall and the mirror. I decided to move the mirror to hang the TV instead and create more space and have a rid of the TV bench. 3) The alcove on the right is too small unfortunately, it would be my favourite place🙈 I would not be able to add neither a 20 inches...so it’s like not having it because not functional. Despite almost all voted to align using the wall (2) I think that, when looking at the wall, what catches the eye more is the dark/black area of the TV and the fireplace, therefore I think these two elements should be align. I was thinking of compensating the left side with a falling plant (or something else) from a new shelf at the top like the two pictures above. What do you think?

If you look for inset or insert corner fire on google you should get lots of results. They are usually are on a frame and the wall is then built around it (example below). Can get them as log burners, gas and possibly electric.
