When perusing through home design magazines for fireplace inspiration, you will have encountered multi-sided fireplaces. These fireplaces are one of the fastest ways to transform your space. They quickly update the flow of your home by creating a room divider that is not a solid wall while adding ambiance and style to two spaces at once. We’ll show you the gorgeous benefits to multi-sided fireplaces, and why you should consider them for your home.
Multi Sides, Multi Benefits
Multi-sided fireplaces will add architectural character to any room. For open plan spaces, installing a multi-sided fireplace in the middle will instantly separate the space without creating a harsh divide. The fireplace will add interest and warmth to both rooms, without disrupting the flow of your home.
Design tip: use a multi-sided fireplace to separate an open plan living room and dining room. This is a fantastic way to add a statement piece to both rooms, like in this gorgeous Ortal Tunnel option pictured below.
Multi-Sided Warmth
We’ve mentioned that a multi-sided fireplace can add warmth to two spaces at once, which increases ambiance. The fantastic perk of multi sided fireplaces is that they also decrease heating costs. By installing a multi-sided fireplace, the multiple areas that surround the fireplace will experience an increase in heat with just one heating source. A double or triple sided fireplace, like the Montigo 3-Sided Pier Fireplace, won’t be flush against a wall the way a traditional one sided fireplace is, making the way it heats both rooms more efficient.
Multi Safety Steps
Many brands are using innovative technology to ensure that fireplaces with more accessible surfaces are safe for your family. Ortal’s ‘Cool Wall Technology’ and Napoleon’s ‘Premium Glass Guard’ are just two examples of technology from brands who are innovating to ensure that your room stays warm while TV’s, furniture, and little hands stay safe. Ortal’s Cool Wall Technology allows cool air to flow in the space between your fireplace and your walls, making it safe to hang art or even a TV above it. Napoleon’s Premium Glass Guard is a triple paned glass system that disperses heat. This reduces the heat output in the outer layer of glass, making it safe to touch!
Multi Design Options
Multi-sided fireplaces are a wonderful way to enhance your room’s warmth and flow, but they are also a distinct focal point. Because they function like art, choosing an option that can be highly customized is a great way to add to your existing room design. Brands carry various options for flame colour, from traditional to pink or green, and log style, from birch or driftwood to glass.
Design Tip: Fireplaces aren’t just for homes with traditional design aspects. This vertical Ortal Tunnel 31H model will fit in with any ultra modern decor. It comes with a large selection of logs, pebbles, and glass options to choose from, and you can even customize your lighting!
