Fireplace Design
Bring your fireplace vision to life.
Fireplaces are more than just heat sources - they’re design features that can completely transform a space. We offer custom fireplace design services for:
Enhancing Existing Fireplaces:
Give your space a fresh new feel by redesigning around an existing unit - without the cost of replacing the fire itself. Small changes can make a big impact.
Indoor Fireplace Design:
We design with the fireplace in mind, considering cabinetry, mantelpieces, TV placement, and more. With a deep understanding of how fireplace units integrate with interiors, we make sure everything works in harmony.
Outdoor Fireplace Design:
Outdoor fires come with unique design and installation requirements. We create welcoming outdoor fire features that meet council regulations and elevate your outdoor living.
End-to-End Fireplace Solutions:
From concept and product selection to detailed drawings, council approvals, and build oversight - we can manage as much (or as little) of the process as you need.
Technical Advice & Compliance
Design you can trust to meet the rules.
Navigating the technical side of fireplace installation can be complex - especially with fuel types, ventilation, clearance zones, and building code considerations. I provide expert guidance to help ensure your fireplace design complies with all relevant standards.
My experience spans leading brands like Stovax, Gazco, Stûv, Jetmaster and VisionLINE, and I’m available to collaborate with architects, builders, and homeowners alike.
Whether you need input at the concept stage or detailed support during a build, Designs For Fires can help keep your project smooth, safe, and regulation-ready.
Create a space you’ll love to gather around.
From selection to design and compliance - let’s make it happen.
