A central fireplace in your living room: a bold choice for an exceptional interior

Installing a central fireplace at home transforms your interior, bringing elegance and personality. Positioned this way, the fireplace becomes a major element of the home: it gathers people, soothes, and enhances every moment of daily life.

Do you want to install a fireplace in your living room? What a great idea! Have you considered a central fireplace? Charming, captivating, and stylish, it transforms your interior with both subtlety and character. Here’s everything you need to know about the central fireplace.

THE CENTRAL FIREPLACE OR THE ART OF PUTTING THE FIRE AT THE HEART OF YOUR HOME

The central fireplace breaks the codes of the traditional hearth. While maintaining the warmth and elegance of a classic fireplace, its position in the center of the room gives it modernity and boldness, creating a “wow” effect that leaves no one indifferent.

Furthermore, the central fireplace becomes a true centerpiece of the interior: it catches the eye as soon as you enter, whether lit or not. It naturally asserts itself as a functional work of art in the home. It brings people together, whether for a drink or a long conversation, offering an intimate moment of exception.

By freeing up walls and space, it provides a very different effect from a classic fireplace, bringing fluidity and a sense of openness to the room. In a large living area, it can also serve as a soft and natural boundary between a living room and a dining room.

Once lit, the spectacle is complete. The flame dances at the heart of the living room, warming the atmosphere with harmony and softness.

SUSPENDED, ON A BASE, OR ROTATING: THESE CENTRAL FIREPLACE MODELS ENHANCE THE SPACE

Loft style, chic country house, or sleek design: every style has its central fireplace. For a light, floating, and decidedly contemporary effect, choose a suspended fireplace. Spectacular and captivating, it does, however, impose some technical constraints and may require a fairly ambitious installation.

More classic, yet equally elegant: the central fireplace on a base. Welcoming and sculptural, it charms with refined finishes. It gathers people and dresses the space with style. Its installation is simpler, not requiring major construction work.

Also to consider: the rotating central fireplace. Playful and stylish, it brings life and movement to the room. Even more practical, it allows you to direct the heat according to your needs, desires, or the atmosphere you wish to create.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE INSTALLING A CENTRAL FIREPLACE

Do you want to install a central fireplace in your living room? A few key points are essential to ensure a safe, aesthetic, and durable installation. First, make sure your supporting structure can bear the weight of the appliance, whether it is the floor or ceiling in the case of a suspended model.

It is also important to verify the presence of a smoke exhaust duct compliant with current standards (notably DTU 24.1 in France). If your home is not equipped, or if the existing duct needs updating, our teams can, of course, intervene to create or adapt the installation.

The flooring material is also important: if it is heat-sensitive, a protective plate (glass or steel) should be installed.

Each project is unique, and each space has its own specifics: that is why JC Bordelet’s expertise is essential. A JC Bordelet expert, a high-end French manufacturer, carefully studies each installation to ensure a result that meets your expectations and the technical requirements of our appliances.
