A fireplace is more than just a source of warmth; it's a focal point that can enhance the aesthetic of your living space. Whether you're looking to install a new fireplace or revamp an existing one, these ten stunning fireplace ideas will inspire you to create a cosy and stylish atmosphere in your home.

Embrace clean lines and a sleek design with a modern minimalist fireplace. Neutral tones such as white, grey, or black enhance the chic and contemporary vibe, creating a serene and uncluttered environment. We love this Gazco eStudio Cerreto electric fireplace, which can either be mounted directly to a wall, or floor mounted.
To ensure the overall aesthetic remains cohesive, pair your minimalist fireplace with furniture and décor that echo simplicity and functionality. Think along the lines of sleek, low-profile sofas and curved coffee tables.
Bring the outdoors in with a rustic fireplace that exudes warmth and character, like this charming Stovax Futura 4 wood burning stove.
This fireplace idea features natural elements like the stacked firewood, along with a reclaimed wood panels on the wall that further enhances the rustic appeal. Create a warm, inviting backdrop with rich earthy tones, adding depth as well as a touch of nature.
Our next fireplace idea is to embrace classic design, but make the most of modern technology. A traditional fireplace with a classic mantel can add a touch of elegance to your room, and there are all sorts of options for you, whether a wood stove, gas inset fire or even an electric fireplace.
By using luxurious materials such as limestone for the mantel, a classic style fireplace adds a sense of grandeur. Adorn the mantel with elegant accessories such as candlesticks, an ornate mirror, or carefully chosen artwork.
Inspired by Nordic design, a Scandinavian fireplace is characterised by simple clean lines, ease of functionality, and often a tall cylindrical freestanding design.
To enhance the cosy and inviting hygge vibe, complement the Scandinavian fireplace with a light, airy and neutral interior colour scheme. We love the Varde Aura 1 wood stove – a log burner with style, but also practical features, like log storage and a soft close door.
You can complement an industrial-style interior with a fireplace. A room with exposed brick and a bold and edgy look fits perfectly with a statement wood stove or freestanding fire, such as the Stovax Studio wood burner collection. These fires come as both inset and freestanding versions, and look particularly utilitarian when mounted onto one of our steel benches.
Likewise, the Studio Air log burner range makes a great fit, with a white, grey, or black trim for adding a further accent.
The media wall fireplace trend is here to stay, and typically features all your entertainment setup in one area. Usually, for this fireplace idea, a TV is mounted on the wall within a faux chimney breast, and an electric fire installed beneath it.
You can find electric fires that perfectly complement the size of the TV – we have put together a helpful size guide and expert advice on media walls, if you want to explore this fireplace idea further.
Lighting, peripheral devices, and even bespoke shelving complete the media wall fireplace, with some electric fires offering a slim depth to save on floorspace, such as the Gazco eStudio range.
Freestanding electric stoves seamlessly blend the timeless charm of a traditional log burner with the modern convenience of electric heating. These versatile units can be placed virtually anywhere in a room, offering both flexibility and ease of use.
Freestanding electric fireplaces require no chimney at all, making installation a breeze and allowing for easy relocation as your décor or layout needs change. They make a great companion for a tiny house or smaller room, where all that is needed is a little localised heat – or no heat at all, just the ambience of the flames!
One great way to elevate your fireplace is to choose a bold patterned tile for within the inglenook itself. Here are some gorgeous designs for inspiration – we love how tiling the fireplace really makes the most of the focal point, and draws the eye in!
Stovax Stockton 8 Log Burner with Double Doors
One fireplace idea is to go for the avant-garde, and invest in a ceiling hung fire. This style of fireplace truly breaks the norm, adding an ultra-contemporary feel to your home, which works perfectly with open plan spaces.
The Onyx Orbit electric fire can even be rotated up to 340 degrees, so you can enjoy the exposed flame-effect from multiple aspects in a room.
You might be wondering if you can install a log burner in a kitchen – and the answer is yes, you can! We’ve put together a whole guide on having a stove or fire in a kitchen, but for now, here are some beautiful kitchen fireplaces for inspiration.
Whether your interior is country-styled or sleek and modern, there are various options to fit both your style and your lifestyle.
