The cool greys of Winter are settling in here in Australia and nothing says comfort and opulence more than a beautiful open fire.
Whether you are building a new home, looking to install an outdoor fire-pit or just want to purchase one to sit in your outdoor entertaining area. We decided to pull together an 'inspiration board' of our favourite fireplaces to share with you. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, don't worry - we have some beautiful outdoor ideas that can spice up the atmosphere at your next Summer outdoor party and ignite the pyro within!
More artwork than traditional fireplace, nevertheless, these winter warmers are simply stunning.
We love the combination of clean white lines, organic rock and industrial metals in the below fireplace - this is one of our favourite modern combinations.
For the Winter entertainers among us, get the family together and cosy up with some sumptuous winter blankets, cook some s'mores, pour a glass of red wine and enjoy your family time out.
The below fireplace is more decoration than practical but we simply love the look of this chic piece. Laying back and soaking up a bubble bath with the sparks from the piece light the room. Perfection!
Nothing says sophisticated style more than an at-home library - add a fireplace to the mix and you have a quirky conversation starter that looks beyond beautiful.
Now for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere, who may no longer need the use of your stunning fireplace as the days around you begin warming up. We have some stunning ideas below on how to get the most out of your feature during the warmer months.
Surround some tall white candles with large, thick seashells (be sure to bleach the shells first for hygiene and to make them glow with brightness)
We love the look of antlers inside a fireplace, however we are by no means supportive of 'real' antlers. You can purchase faux antlers on a wide variety of on-line stores, or simply use driftwood from your local beach or lagoon.
Outdoor fire pits are a beautiful element for year-round entertainment and comfort. The first image is a concrete cast bowl pit and the second is a cast iron pit - both can be purchased from warehouse hardware stores or ordered on-line.
Our two favourite fireplaces are featured below, both are classic, chic and completely heart-warming. Load up on wool knitted cushion covers, mohair and cashmere blankets, scented candles and scatter them in-front of your favourite space...
A winter boudoir is not complete without a thick duvet, chunky knit blankets and soft as silk pillows. A bedroom is your own private hide-away, so be sure to add as many pillows and blankets as you see fit.
Our favourite outdoor fireplace is indeed the one below, of course you know by now our favourite style is bohemian chic. The fireplace below has elements of a Moroccan feel and we are in love!
Snuggle up and keep warm.
