For this article, we collaborated with Caleo to share their insights about how a suspended fireplace can elevate your home.
How to elevate your home with a suspended fireplace
A suspended fireplace not only offers warmth, it’s a centrepiece that instantly draws the eye and transforms any space. Floating in place, it blends luxurious design and breaks up an open space, creating a natural flow.
Define spaces without building walls
An open space, even when fully furnished, can feel sparse or exposed. A central or suspended fireplace allows for better flow and looks like an intended design choice in the space. Not only this, but it also provides a central focal point that can be admired from any angle. It’s an ideal choice for open-plan living areas.
Should fuel type be considered, or should I just get a wood burning fireplace?
Traditional fireplaces are usually wood burning, but with the avenue of eco-friendly fuels being opened, you should consider the best option for your space.
There are four fuel types:
• Wood
• Gas
• Bioethanol
• Electric
Each has their own merits, which you can see below.

Gas fueled suspended fireplace

Bioethanol fueled suspended fireplace
Benefits: 100% renewable fuel, no chimney requirements and on/off convenience with real heat and real flames.

When to Consider a Suspended Fireplace
A suspended fireplace is perfect for homeowners looking to make a statement with a high-performance, unique fireplace. Consider one if:
• You want a luxurious focal point in your space.
• You’re looking to improve the flow of your large open room.
• You want a bespoke addition to your home and to add value to the property.
