The brief
The brick slip chamber adds warmth and depth to the opening, replacing the flat feel of the old fireplace with a much more textured backdrop.
The cast ceramic non-combustible beam from Focus Fireplaces gives the visual effect of a traditional mantel while remaining appropriate around a stove.
How the project came together
Integrated lighting in the beam adds an extra layer of atmosphere, highlighting the brickwork and giving the room a softer evening feel.
The Medium Flickrflame stove completes the transformation, turning the fireplace into a practical and attractive real-fire focal point.
