Open fireplace or log burner - Victorian house dilemna
Comments (47)The thing to bear in mind is that you need a defra exempt stove if you are planning to burn wood in a smokeless zone, but there are loads available. I would let the installer deal with with the hearth along with the flue liner when it is installed. I have an open fire with a gas tray fitted and its great and also a stove which I love but as people say does throw out a lot of heat. These photos are my house, both of the fires were supplied and installed by Harrogate Feature Fireplaces. The sitting room fire is one of their huge selection of period cast iron fireplaces, and the stove is by Yeoman....See MoreFireplace Revamp!
Comments (8)Ok firstly put led strips to the rear of each shelf then replace the tiles with plain ones perhaps the ones which appear to look like hematite, I can see you like grey so paint the chimney breast and the fire surround and also the shelves and the lower cupboards in the shade you like best(do not be afraid of being bold, it's only paint and time if you get it wrong.) then insert mirrors to the back of each shelf, you will be surprised how much bigger the room looks. Do the floor dark and the rest of the walls something pale like F&B cornforth white do the skirtings and doors white or otherwise the same as the fireplace etc. (If you go with the dark option then opt for a really pale rug) go to www.rugcouture.com and ask for samples then do windows with shutters or Romans something simple and in a pale coloured orate shelves with a mixture of books and ornaments anyway that's what I would do but whatever you choose enjoy it and have fun.

Comments (6)The last high fireplace that we did, I made a high mantel for. The fireplace was the one that originally had a range in it, so it was quite big. It started off as just one air brick in a stack..............this is the wife on the kango - got to love a woman that likes demolition. We left it with no burner in it, just for display purposes.................there's another fireplace in the adjacent room separated by an open staircase, so it wasn't needed. However, you get the idea. I made the mantel out of reclaimed boards....See Morefire place surround needs to go!
Comments (8)My vision for this project would be to use slate surround and black fireplace hearth with materials like limestone or granite. This will make the fireplace a statement piece in your room, as opposed to eye popping element. The stove needs updating but it will still work as soon as the tiling is removed. This is my personal preference but I'd go for solid materials; colours - black fireplace or grey fireplace (just a few materials to generate ideas) to give the existing fireplace a total makeover. Are you considering changing the wall paper? A plain or textured one would work best no patterns)? What do you think?...See Moreminnie101
