Thoughts on fireplaces and Geelong interior designs

I can remember as a child when Mum and Dad were entertaining friends and family and it was a cold day outside we would always have the living room fireplace lit. It created such a cosy environment where everyone felt welcome and relaxed. There is nothing better than gazing into a fire and unwinding with a glass a wine from a busy day and our interior design team in Geelong is always happy when it has a fireplace to work with.

Nowadays gas fires are becoming more and more popular, they not only add ambiance but really enhance your home and provide an effective heating solution. Many homeowners are now looking at fireplaces not only in their living spaces, but in their master retreats, kitchens, studies and alfresco areas.

You will find when guests enter a home, for the first time they will often gather around the fireplace as a central focal point to a living space, especially if the fire is glowing and it’s cold outside. Gas fires are very efficient and can heat up a large areas quickly.

With the flick of a switch your home will roar into fire without having to chop firewood. Gas fireplaces are easy to work and offer remote operation, you can adjust the heat settings from different areas of the home which makes things much easier.

The latest designs from manufacturers such as Escea are stunning, our Geelong interior design clients who are looking for quality fireplaces that offer a point of difference just love their range, whether it’s a double-sided, free-standing, multi room or an ambient fireplace, they all offer something different.

When you plan your next renovation or are thinking of building make sure you take time to consider the heating factors of your home and choose an efficient heating system that not only saves you money but also looks amazing and sets your home apart from the rest.
