21 Modern fireplaces: Characteristics And Interior Décor Ideas
Everyone loves fireplaces. They’re a great element in any home. When you’re looking to buy a house or apartment, one that has a fireplace usually has a great advantage even though others might present advantages of their own. There’s something wonderful, almost magical about fireplaces. When you sit in front of a fireplace, in a cozy armchair, and you watch the flames change shape and color and listen to the wood crackle a very beautiful sensation appears and you get to relax and to never want to do anything else again. But that’s mostly true in the case of traditional fireplaces.
Modern fireplaces, even though they’re quite different in terms of design and technical details, have a different series of advantages. Most of them no longer use wood so everything we described earlier disappears with that as well. However, they offer other great elements. They’re safer and they usually feature smaller dimensions than most traditional fireplaces. Also, they can basically be installed anywhere you want.
They come in a variety of models, designs, shapes and sizes so there are plenty of options to choose from. They can easily become a part of the décor and they can be integrated into the wall or in the design of the furniture. They can even be sued as room dividers. So with the change in design also come changes on other levels. They might not be able to create the same coziness that traditional fireplaces did, but modern fireplaces present a multitude of other great advantages worth discussing.
