Hi

Would it be possible to find out where this fire place is from?

Hi thanks for your question, the fireplace was a bespoke surround designed by us and supplied and installed by Marble Hill Fireplaces with a gas stove from interfocos

I personally do not like TVs over a fireplace. I know it’s very popular but they are not good for watching TV as they are too high and can cause neck pain and headaches. I wonder how many of those people visit the doctors complaining of neck and head pain! A TV should be at eye level or below when you are sitting down. Also wouldn’t the heat from the fire cause possible damage to the TV? Have your fire by all means, but the TV is better on a low unit on one side of the fireplace, depending on where your sofas are placed. Don’t discard electric fires. There are some really nice modern ones available and you just plug in and go. Here’s some examples.

How odd to put carpet in a fireplace. I would suggest you made a hearth with a piece of stone - sandstone or slate or even tiles maybe - then you can dress it with candles, a pile of logs like Rukmini said, or a fire grate (loads of secondhand ones on eBay) and dress that with logs. I rather like the example below with a cluster of plants. You could also try an electric faux wood burner as minnie101 suggests. They are reasonably cheap (£100-£300) and most have an option to switch the light on without the heat if you so choose. Dimplex is a well known brand.

Lol. You should clarify the scope of work with any trades person you hire. Don't assume anything! I would suggest a competent handyman. You could hire an electrician but that might work out more expensive. You could also go to a Home Audio Visual Installation company but they can work out the most expensive. They do, however, offer many more services like fitting surround sound systems, ceiling speakers, home cinema systems etc. So generally you would get a handful of quotes, making sure you have explained exactly what you want done and then pick the most reasonable one. You can try sites like mybuilder.com to find local trades people. They can give you quotes online.

Thank you very much for your help - this will be a bit of a re-wiring project and I am not sure that all of the tv tech will fit as it is all so wide with the long wide stand and speakers but ultimately you have given us the right layout solution for the use of the room so thank you all 👍🏻
