Central Fireplaces
Central fireplaces are rebellious in nature and are for those who don’t believe a feature as beautiful and statemented as a fireplace should be banished to the corner of the room.
Instead, central fireplaces are designed to be adorned and are strategically positioned so that all those who enter the space are captivated by its flickering flames.
For vast open spaces, traditional fireplaces may fail to adequately warm the space evenly. Whereas a central fireplace will distribute the heat gently across the entire room, creating a mesmerising focal piece as it does so. Its glow will envelop your guests with the same level of comfort that a warm blanket would do so on a cold winter’s night.
There’s also plenty of room for fun and personality with central fireplaces. We can customise them in a wide range of colours and prints, ranging from sleek sophisticated tones to energetic hues and even animal prints.
Don’t settle for the ordinary – experience the extraordinary with a central fireplace from Caleo.

Does A Fireplace Have To Be Central?
Fireplaces come in many different configurations including corner design, wall design and of course, central design fireplaces. We would be more than happy to run through the full range of options depending on the type of space you are working with.
Though at a glance, central fireplaces bring the fireplace into the eye line of those in the room, rather than placing the fireplace against the wall or in the corner.
Placing the fireplace in the centre of the room is a favoured technique of architects and designers, as it adds an unexpected yet elegant twist from a design standpoint.
What Is A Modern Fireplace?
Modern fireplaces serve as a visual point in the room while making a striking design statement. With a traditional fireplace, the fire itself is cast away sitting flush against the wall. However, modern fireplaces seek to make the fireplace a focal piece, and central fireplaces are a prime example of this.
With a central fireplace, the fireplace itself envelops a floor to ceiling design allowing for maximum visual impact.
In addition, modern fireplaces are an excellent way to add value to your home or commercial space, with real estate experts suggesting a modern fireplace can add as much as 12% onto the value of a property.
Where Is The Best Place To Put A Fireplace?
No two spaces are the same, but a great tip we can share is to consider what would work best both in terms of the visual aesthetic as well as ensuring the warmth travels evenly across the room to avoid any cold spots.
Some clients want to use an existing gas line or fuel source, such as within a wall fireplace design. Though, in the majority of cases, we can place the fireplace in a variety of locations.
If you have any requirements that you’d like us to address when upgrading from a previous fireplace style, we’ll be sure to incorporate this within your new Caleo fireplace, whether you opt for a central fireplace or any other configuration.
What Are The Benefits Of A Wood Burning Fireplace?
Wood burning fireplaces have an undeniable rustic charm that connects us to our ancestors who would burn wood over the fire as a source of warmth as well as to make food. Even though modern conveniences have changed our relationship with fire, the beauty and warmth of the flames can still be enjoyed within a wood burning fireplace.
The collection of wood needed for a wood burning fireplace in itself makes for an interesting design statement, and when combined with a central fireplace design, that historic connection we have with fire as humans is retained in the most forward thinking of ways.
