The brief
The stove has been positioned against a simple wall section between large glazed openings, giving the room a clear focal point without interrupting the clean contemporary architecture. Its freestanding form suits the extension perfectly: compact enough to feel elegant, but substantial enough to anchor the corner of the room.
The Di Lusso R4 Euro is a contemporary wood burning stove from Hunter Stoves Group, known for its refined styling, generous glass door and controlled burn performance. It works particularly well in modern living spaces where the customer wants the comfort of a real flame without a traditional chimney breast or heavy fireplace surround.
How the project came together
A simple hearth detail keeps the installation understated, while the vertical flue route reinforces the modern feel of the project. The black stove body contrasts beautifully with the pale walls, timber floor and natural light, giving the room a warmer and more finished appearance.
This is not just a heating installation. It completes the extension visually. The fire draws people into the space, softens the glass and hard surfaces, and gives the room a natural gathering point during colder months.
