The luxury of a crackling fireplace: Four elegant options for winter
Posted on
Picture this: it’s deep July and the weather is truly showcasing Canberra’s winter to its full extent.
You’ve already exhausted the laws of physics with how many layers you’ve managed to cram on, and even then, the heater feels like it’s on its last legs, and is barely taking the chill out of the air.
Now add to this scenario a gently crackling fireplace in the corner; the flickering light casting a seriously cosy ambience across your lounge room, and the warmth slowly bringing every millimetre of your body back to life.
We certainly know which option we choose.
A fireplace is the ultimate Canberra winter accessory, and if you’re going to do something, go big, we say.
Burning Log are Canberra’s fireplace experts, and they exclusively stock a range of high-end luxury wood fireplaces you won’t find anywhere else in town. If you’re already feeling the chill, here are our picks for a bit of inspo:
Cheminees Philippe Fires
Beautifully crafted in cast iron in France, Cheminees Philippe creates slow combustion wood fires and fireboxes that serve as both stunning architectural features, and a great heating solution for the home.
Their unique designs incorporate a panoramic glass door which lifts up and out of view so you can have the feel of an open fire. Otherwise, for an efficient, energy saving slow combustion heater, simply slide the door down.
Bordelet Zelia 908 Suspended Wood Burning Fireplace
Is there anything more dramatic than a suspended fireplace? This one doesn’t just hide in the corner—it brings the full wow factor over its 360 degrees of viewing area. Also made in France, it’s hand-shaped and spun with a contemporary design and artisan engineering.
