Every home is better with a fireplace in it. There’s magic in those dancing flames and a soundtrack in the subtle rustles and pops that truly makes a house feel more like a home.

Established in 2010, the Euro Fireplaces team make their home in Mansfield, Victoria, just below the snowfields of Mount Buller. Euro Fireplaces was created when its director, who hails from Austria himself, wanted to install a fireplace in his home. After struggling to find a fireplace like those he’d experienced in Europe, he decided to bring the leading wood and pellet heating technology to Australia. What began as a single owner-operated shop has expanded to three shopfronts and a network of over 30 stockists all the way from Hobart to Brisbane. Designed and manufactured in Europe, Euro Fireplaces’ freestanding, inbuilt and pellet heaters are optimised for both Australian wood and heating conditions. Most models operate using a combination of natural convection and radiant heat, alongside a heat bank and fresh…

LIGHT ON DEMAND It’s not uncommon for lighting to be used as a background feature; a way for everything else to be seen without drawing attention to itself. The “O” sensor light takes this idea to the next level. “We envisioned a series of discs that interfere as little as possible with an existing landscape, but that when activated by people’s motion, the “O” lights will illuminate the adjacent space for a limited amount of time,” says designer Alejandro Aravena of Elemental. He describes this light made for Artemide as “light on demand”. While we don’t mind noticing a light as pretty as this, the advantage of blending into the background and framing views certainly has its appeals. The light’s material is simple, composed of an extruded and calendered (a…

Does this sound like you? You adore the features of your existing mantel — it just needs a little love and care to make it the hero it deserves to be. Why not renovate and recreate the old-world charm of a traditional fireplace in your home? “If you’re renovating a heritage home or terrace house, you will no doubt have at least one brick or traditional fireplace with an ornate character surround or mantelpiece,” Corey Greenway from Stoke Fireplace Studio, Melbourne says. “Depending on the condition of the surround, it may well be worth restoring.” If all you need is a simple coat of paint, the update to the surround should be rather simple. Alternatively, it may be something to ask your builder to look at when he or she…

Enjoy the beauty and warmth of fire with a freestanding gas fireplace from Stoke Fireplace Studio, perfect for homes that require you to think outside the box when it comes to heating. “Freestanding fireplaces are great for homes that don’t have a lot of floor space or that have a tricky layout to work with — think triangular rooms or pitched ceilings,” Corey Greenway from Stoke Fireplace Studio, Melbourne says. “They’re also perfect for replacing existing freestanding wood burners without changing the structural layout of a room.” One freestanding gas fireplace we love is the Escea DFS370. Not only is this product freestanding, but it doesn’t require a hearth or structure around…
