1. How oak fireplaces can warm up any room

Whether you’re after a traditional fireplace incorporating brick, oak and old-fashioned mantels, or a sleek contemporary feature, oak fireplaces can be designed to suit any room or style. Modern settings can incorporate sharp edges and minimalist elegance, whilst traditional styles will evoke a sense of history, authenticity and warmth that cannot be beaten.
