A fireplace has long been considered the heart of a home, providing warmth and acting as a focal point in the living space. Do you want the same cosy vibe but with a modern twist? A free-standing electric fireplace can be the perfect solution.
Free-standing (also called floor-standing) electric fireplaces are easy to install, energy-efficient, and versatile in design and placement. Plus, their streamlined designs are ideal for achieving a minimalist look. And unlike traditional fireplaces, electric fireplaces don't require wood storage or fireplace tools. This can help keep your space clean and clutter-free.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when choosing and installing a minimalist free-standing electric fireplace:
Choose a sleek design with realistic features.
Go for a free-standing electric fireplace with clean lines, neutral colours, and minimal ornamentation. Evolution Fires offers a range of minimalist floor-standing electric fireplaces with realistic flame effects to mimic a real fire. This gives you the warmth and ambience of a traditional fireplace without clutter and maintenance. Check out our Nirvana and Neon models!
Utilize the space above.
Consider hanging a large piece of modern artwork, a mirror, or a simple floating shelf above your free-standing electric fireplace. Just remember to keep the decor minimal and coherent with the rest of the room.
Complement with minimalist furniture.
Complement your free-standing electric fireplace with minimalist furniture such as a low-profile, monochromatic sectional sofa, a sleek glass coffee table, and geometrically-inspired metal bookshelves. Add a few accent pieces like a modern floor lamp and a rectangular area rug with muted tones. The clean lines and simple designs will create a cohesive, minimalist look.
Control the clutter.
Finally, remember to keep the area around your fireplace clear. Store any media equipment, books, or other items out of sight to maintain a clean, uncluttered look.
A free-standing electric fireplace allows you to enjoy the benefits of a traditional fireplace without the need for extensive renovation and installation. By keeping the design and decor simple, you can use this design element to create a warm, inviting space that aligns with your minimalist aesthetic.
