Designer Fireplaces

Designer fireplaces are architectural centrepieces — suspended, central or wall-mounted models designed to define a space rather than disappear into it. Explore sculptural wood-burning and bio-ethanol fireplaces created for modern living.

Wood-Burning Designer Fireplaces

For those who want the authenticity of a real flame, a wood-burning designer fireplace delivers presence, sound, heat and atmosphere in equal measure.

Unlike freestanding stoves, these architectural models are designed to command attention. Suspended from the ceiling or positioned centrally within open-plan spaces, they become sculptural focal points while still providing powerful, natural heat output.

Wood-burning designer fireplaces are ideal for:

  • Homes with existing chimneys or where a new flue can be installed
  • Open-plan living areas requiring both statement design and effective heating
  • Projects where the fireplace is part of the architectural vision from the outset

Bio-Ethanol Designer Fireplaces

Bio-ethanol designer fireplaces offer flame without the need for a chimney or flue system. Clean-burning and smoke-free, they provide installation freedom that makes them particularly suited to contemporary apartments, renovations and architectural spaces where traditional flues are not possible or practical.

These models deliver visual impact rather than primary heating, making them ideal for:

  • High-rise apartments
  • Retrofit projects
  • Homes without chimneys
  • Minimalist interiors requiring a clean flame aesthetic

Choosing A Designer Fireplace

Selecting a designer fireplace starts with the space itself. Ceiling height, room proportions and sight lines all influence which format will feel balanced rather than overpowering.

Suspended and central fireplaces work best in larger open-plan environments where they can anchor the room without restricting circulation. Wall-mounted and corner designs introduce strong visual impact while preserving floor space.

Fuel choice is equally important. Wood-burning models provide meaningful heat output and the authenticity of a real flame, making them suitable where warmth is a key objective. Bio-ethanol fireplaces prioritise installation freedom and clean architectural lines, ideal for homes without a chimney.

If you are designing a new build or major renovation, selecting the fireplace early allows flue positioning, structural support and detailing to be resolved seamlessly.If you’re refining your shortlist or working from architectural drawings, our team can help you specify the right model for your space.
