These fireplace ideas will help you to make your home look stylish and modern with a touch of elegance.

Basic types of fireplace designs

• Stone fireplaces are beautiful. They have a lot of character. Stones add an elegant touch to your home and the gas fire is fuss free and low maintenance. Stone fireplaces can be a hole in the wall structure for a limited space. For longer fireplaces, you can have one, two or three sides open for different effects.
• Wood fire fireplaces can be more difficult to maintain, but can look even more authentic than gas fire ones. Wood based fireplaces can give your home an authentic Victorian feel which will lend your home an old world charm.
• You can also combine the two in a gorgeous wood finish ceramic log where the fire is supplied by interweaved gas lines for that authentic look with a twist.

Designer fireplaces come in a number of options and various shapes and sizes. Choose the perfect one for your home to give it that wow factor.
