Cool Ways to Decorate Your Home with Modern Fireplaces

Contemporary homes are all about maximizing the use of space. So the traditional and rustic grand fireplaces don’t really work any more because of their huge size. These homes need fireplaces that provide optimal heating without taking up too much space and that are where modern fireplaces come in. They not only suit your home requirements in terms of space, size and budget but also come with the option to get them customized. So here are some great ideas-

Open Fireplace

This is a cool and innovative concept that you can just get with contemporary fireplaces that make use of gas logs, instead of the traditional wooden ones. Because there is negligible risk of sparks or flames going higher than expected, you can easily keep one in a compact living space. Open modern fireplaces give you the versatility of saving more on space. You can create the illusion of more space by opting for elongated wood craftsmanship and pieces around the area. Something like a driftwood piece of art can be fixed above the fireplace to create an impressive decor.

Fitted or In-Built Fireplaces with Heat Exchangers

For all modern homes, the concept of fitted on inbuilt are ideal here because it saves space. As the name suggests, these fireplaces are installed inside a wall or even fitted into an enclosed space. This way you don’t have to worry about a top-mounted fireplace occupying more space. Ideally, gas logs are preferred, but if you have a chimney attached to the existing area, you can opt for wooden ones too.

Color Contrasts

Another benefit that you can get with these modern fireplaces is creating a bright contrast of hues. White being one of the most popular shades in contemporary homes, you can opt for a color-block theme with the fireplace being either black or the rest of the furniture being white. On the other hand, you can also opt for vibrant hues of pink, blue, etc. that has a softer pallet. Creating color contrasts here helps in bringing out the shades of the fireplace. So if you want to dim lights and set up a cozy ambience, the fireplace would be your highlight here.

Cool Decor – Even Heating

With these modern fireplaces you are not only adding to the overall decor of the house, but also getting the functional benefit of consistent and even heating. Most of these contemporary fireplaces feature heat exchangers, which are known for capturing combustion cases and use them for producing more heat. So even on a smaller scale, your fireplace is probably providing better heating as compared to the larger and more rustic pieces. These heat exchangers then blow this additional heat inwards, offering you consistent warm temperatures in your living room.

A Choice of Metals and Stones

With conventional fireplaces, you are restricted to the choices of materials surrounding the area. Sparks and high flames are a risk to flammable materials. But with modern fireplaces, you can opt for stainless steel or even porcelain to surround fireplace or even as a mantle. Wood too can be used here; however, most people prefer using gas logs or alternate forms of heating as this prevents risks of fire.

Innovative designs are the biggest attraction for these fireplaces. You can choose some out of the box shapes and ideas like a medieval-looking piece in a compact design or go for something that is completely abstract. With budget-friendly prices, there is no reason to not have a cozy modern fireplace in your home.
