Modern interior design is all about comfort and practicality. Think clean lines, functional design, and open spaces. So where does that leave the fireplace? Instead of bulky space heaters or worn-out fire boxes, the floating fireplace is the solution that’s minimalistic, stylish, and comforting.
What is a Floating Fireplace?
Floating fireplaces are wall mounted units that use a heat source, such as electricity or gas to keep a space warm without live fire. Sometimes advertised as a “portrait fireplace,” floating fireplaces are intended to be hung up on the wall like a piece of artwork. The stunning floating effect comes from the frame of the fireplace, rather than from a traditional mantel or firebox. Floating fireplaces can be installed in any room in the home, including bedrooms and bathrooms.
The clean, sleek look of a floating fireplace saves valuable space in your home, making more room for what matters most.
Space it Out
Open up your space with a floating fireplace in place of a space heater, for a fresh, modern feel.
Floating fireplaces can be used in smaller rooms to help create a more spacious atmosphere. In larger areas, such as open-concept living areas, linear floating fireplaces utilize the wall space without crowding the floor. To create a visual flow from one room to another, consider a multi-sided floating fireplace. For your outdoor living space, use a floating fireplace to create that cozy, modern touch to your patio.
Beauty and Function
Mounted on the wall, floating fireplaces offer a focal point in any room, giving the eye a natural resting place. Think of your favorite home décor items: mirrors, artwork, and family pictures. All of these pieces serve a functional purpose as well as an aesthetic purpose. A floating fireplace works to provide warmth and ambiance as well as beauty.
Electric floating fireplaces can be easily installed using a standard electrical outlet. Metal coils heat up at the touch of a button, with light effects that simulate live flames. These fireplaces are often equipped with special features like WIFI, Bluetooth, timers, and multiple color settings. Use these features to customize your perfect ambiance. Set the dancing flames to a cool color tone for a soothing effect. Try setting the flame without heat output for a relaxing glow any day of the year.
