Fireplaces are far more than just a heat source. While, of course, they keep a home warm and cosy during the winter, they also provide an elegant and timeless feature piece all year round.

As a result, fireplaces are an extremely popular investment, for everything from historic period properties, to brand new homes.

If you’ve just purchased a new build – congratulations! – and are debating whether to invest in a fireplace, keep reading. Below, we’ve outlined what fireplaces are available for new builds, and the benefits of adding a fireplace to your home.

What fireplaces are available for new build homes?

Property owners can choose from a huge variety of fireplaces.

These include:

• Media Wall Fireplaces
• Gas Fireplaces
• Electric Fireplaces
• Gas & Electric Stoves

What’s more, your chosen fireplace can also be featured in bespoke surrounds and media wall units (more on these below).

What are the benefits of installing a fireplace in your home?

By adding a fireplace to your new build home, you can unlock a wide range of benefits. These include:

• Adding a stylish feature piece for the room
• Creating a cosy and elegant ambience
• Supporting your property’s heating system
• Providing a cost-effective additional heating system, providing instant yet localised heat, which is easily adjustable
• Giving you the scope to choose bold and modern designs, thanks to innovative new fireplace designs. These can include two or three-sided fireplaces and media wall fireplaces, for example
• Potentially increasing the value of your property

Fireplaces are completely customisable, with a huge range of styles, designs and layouts to choose from. This ensures that your new fireplace elegantly fits within the room, and perfectly complements the aesthetic of the rest of your property.

How can a media wall fireplace benefit a new build home?

Media wall fireplaces are a particularly popular investment for new build homes. This is because media wall fireplaces are not only sleek and stylish, but they are also extremely practical.

Media wall fireplaces are a modern fireplace layout, which combines a fireplace with surrounding, custom-built space to contain a range of other devices. These can include a TV, speakers, gaming consoles and lighting, for example.

The benefits of media wall fireplaces include:

• Combining all the key devices in your room into a single, neat, central unit
• Maximising the functionality of your room
• Creating a minimalist, neat design for the room
• Minimising clutter and making your room more enjoyable to use
• Keeping cables neat and hidden
• Potentially increasing the value of your property

Media wall fireplaces are completely customisable. Working with a fireplace specialist, you can design a bespoke media wall fireplace layout, with your choice of colours, finishing materials, shelving heights and designs, and fireplace type.

So, for a new build property, a media wall fireplace allows you to embrace that sleek modern style, while still being fully practical for day-to-day life.
