Direct Fireplaces

23/05/2026

When you finally install your dream fire... and the living room is complete.

​A modern electric fire is the ultimate design hack for a setup like this one. Because it produces no intense upward heat, you can safely mount a TV directly above it without a chimney or flue. It gives you that instant soft ambiance at the touch of a button with zero structural mess.

​Why install during a dry spell? 🌞
Getting it done now means deliveries are seamless, any wall prep or painting dries in record time, and your space is fully ready before the autumn chill sets in.

​Clean, quiet luxury and perfectly styled.

Designing a living room space that feels elegant and balanced? Thanks for sharing your fire with us .

Start with the fireplace - it’s the natural heart of the room. Here are some tips:

✨ Keep the fireplace at eye level when you’re sitting, for easy, relaxed enjoyment.
✨ Arrange seating to make it the star, such as two sofas facing each other or a cosy wraparound layout, leaving plenty of space for a less crowded feel. And remember symmetry for a balanced look.
✨ Add soft textures and symetrical warm lighting to work with the fireplace for harmony.

It’s all about creating a space that feels just right for you. ❤️

In the words of our lovely customer 1, 2, 3 and R E L A X ✨

An electric fire gives instant ambiance as well as warmth. It provides an instant focal point and transforms any room into a cosy retreat.

Installation requirements: a standard domestic UK socket. You don’t need a special power supply - a normal wall socket is sufficient 🔥

Heating one room or the whole house? 🤔🔥

With energy bills still a huge focus for UK households, this guide from uSwitch breaks down when zonal heating can actually save money… and when it might not.

Bills, bills, bills... let's try to keep them down whilst we are in that in-between stage of still needing the heating on 👇

• Heating one room can work well in larger homes - especially if you lower the heating elsewhere
• In smaller or open-plan homes, heating the full house is often more efficient
• Electricity costs more per kWh than gas, so the type of heating matters too
• Insulation and room size completely change the answer

It’s not always as simple as “just heat one room” 💭

Worth a read if you’re trying to stay warm and keep bills under control before the proper summer season hits 👇

Wondering if it's cheaper and more energy-efficient to heat your whole house or just one room? Get the answer and cut your heating bills with Uswitch.

We love this transformation featuring the Volante 1800.

​Thank you for sharing your incredible living room makeover ✨️

By choosing a darker colour like Farrow & Ball's Broccoli Brown, this is such a cosy and inviting snug. The clean lines of the media wall perfectly complement the modern aesthetic of the fire.

There is something truly hypnotic about the way these flames move. We’ve recently installed a new Planika bioethanol media wall in our showrooms, and we've tried to capture a little flavour to share here for you ❤️

If you are looking for a way to bring a calm, modern energy into your home, you have to see this in motion. It’s not just about the warmth (and wow does this crank out the heat); it’s about creating a focal point that feels like living art.
