25 ideas with built-in fireplaces

The fireplace symbolizes the hearth. Cave bonfires transformed into stylish installations, retaining their former meaning and became an independent part of the interior. The flaming flame captivates the eye and magically affects the consciousness, awakening the genetic memory. In a meditative state, one wants to enjoy peace and think exclusively about pleasant things. Moreover, in a difficult climate, the heat of an open flame gives life-giving strength and increases energy.

The aesthetic side of the dominant element of the room also matters. In some projects, it is considered as a design move to create an entourage, ignoring the direct purpose. The multifunctional model is considered ideal when the design of the fireplace "works" in favor of the interior and copes with the task of heating. Unlike the furniture groups that organize the space, the presence of an integrated structure involves engineering calculations at the project stage. This distinguishes it from a wall fireplace erected in a finished building. An island type model will require a large area due to its installation on the podium. In addition to everything, the convector is suspended above and, therefore, the presence of a high ceiling is implied. The bulky construction is used exclusively as a decorative solution. The heat transfer coefficient is low and for a spacious room this type of heating is not even considered.

Designers offer different solutions and their ideas are determined by style and atypical design. The construction of an independent vertical - false walls especially for a two-sided fireplace in industrial and loft is not perceived as shocking. The installation rhymes perfectly with modern directions. The operation of an engineering structure, in the form of an interior partition, increases the chances of observing the fire from opposite sides. The overall structure is impressive in scope and creativity, but limited in capabilities.

The furnace part together with the chimney is mounted in a wall or a column at the stage of masonry and hidden for the eyes. Only the portal for fire remains panoramic. The dimensions of the camera are 70 x 60 or 10 cm more. In a small room, on the contrary, 10 cm should be subtracted from the initial values. The grates installed in the furnace provide bright burning. Under the grate, it is customary to fasten a metal pan for the accumulation of ash. In another version, it is allowed to attach a solid pallet and replace the grate with a basket for firewood with metal rods. Not without claims to the technical part. In case of problems with the chimney, it is difficult to get to it, and the disassembled masonry will spoil the design and mood. Avoid force majeure will help the quality of materials and professionalism of the master.

If you do not use the capabilities of the inner lining, a blazing bonfire looks natural. Sparks disappear in the bowels of the dark portal and do not create the sensation of looking glass. To enhance the effect in the decoration, brass and copper sheets are used, doubling the reflection of dancing glare and forming the corresponding feeling. For the purpose of a panoramic view, a tilt angle of 30 degrees from the back of the camera is observed. A fire chamber of 50 cm is enough for a room of 30-35 sq.m. In reality, an engineering structure significantly saves usable area and fits compactly into any space. The screen allows for various modifications, and its shape depends solely on preferences. Monopoly behind a rectangular tempered three-layer glass, acting as a cladding panel.

A niche for storing firewood in the built-in form is not supposed. Drovnitsa is separate or logs are kept in a basket. Deviation from the standard is allowed in the raised wall with a double-sided fireplace. Sometimes equip an opening in its lower part.

Built-in designs are divided by type of installation:

1. Wall model: the main part is hidden in the wall, the firebox is on the foundation.
2. Hanging: devoid of horizontal support and mounted on the wall with a chimney. The original design resembles a framed picture.
3. Corner: a great option for the simultaneous heating of neighboring rooms. This type is difficult to install and for this reason is rarely used.
4. The gas and electric convectors built into the furniture solve the issue of decor, but are not considered in any way from a heating standpoint. Wood panels are not designed for high temperatures.

The design concept is set by the central installation. 4 main stylistic ideas are traditionally considered. Built-in fireplaces rhyme perfectly with classics, country and minimalist designs. In the first embodiment, the same finish of the fireplace and columns is assumed. Expensive stones are used for facing the U-shaped portal. Granite, onyx, marble (imitation is allowed) are harmoniously combined with stucco molding and natural textures.

The rustic (country) model resembles the letter D and naturally looks in the expanses of a log cabin, whether it is the rustic style of the Russian tower, the surroundings of French Provence or the stylization of an American country with a brick chimney for display. Coarse porous sandstone, shell rock, artificial tiles with ethnic symbols and ornaments are ideal for external cladding.

Art Nouveau fireplaces are similar to the U-shaped form of the classic version, but have differences: the lines are slightly softer, the corners are rounded, there are non-banal color combinations in the lining. Finished designs are presented in the original version. Hemispherical models in modern interpretations allow front facing with natural stone, two-tone compositions. Combinations of materials and colors are performed differently. The combination of, for example, matte and black (pink) marble, polished cinnamon stone in partnership with a light analogue, a spectacular black and white duet is shocking.

It would seem that uncompromising hi-tech does not accept either warm tones or other silhouettes. Fireplaces in the realm of glass, metal and mirror surfaces are a living warmth and a paradise for relaxation. Everything would be predictable, if not their futuristic design, surprising in format and technique. Fire chambers in the form of a cube, a circle, a truncated cone, an elongated flask with shutters, rotating models, a convex oven mounted in a steel frame and endless creative materialization ambiguously diversify the interior. In the exterior decoration they use different glass, mirrors, mosaics, glass ceramics and a number of technological materials. Usually bought a fireplace system, which is installed according to the purpose and objectives.

The fireplace creates maximum comfort, but homeliness is created by the warmth of human souls and endless love for each other.
