Bio-fireplace is a slightly smaller version of this fireplace, which really set in the apartment of a multi-storey building.The fuel that is used to create the real fire inside it is ethyl alcohol.

The interior of the living room with a fireplace and a TV requires a thoughtful design with the color and material of the walls and the fireplace so that each of the objects looks in a favorable light.

Creating an interior in modern style or another modern direction means choosing materials like ceramic or metal to decorate a living room or a wall with a fireplace.

To create an interior design with a fireplace, natural finishing materials are traditionally used: wood, cotton, marble, stone, fur and others, because they are succinctly combined with strict forms and among themselves. Fireplace and furniture in the classics are usually massive and require a large space, or a living room. The use of floor carpets and other textiles of inconspicuous shades, but rich in the depth of their color, is welcomed.Use antique furniture to create a romantic “classic” interior or add something from the “new classic” collection for a perfect living room.

One of the most romantic and eco-friendly styles in the interior is Provence, which came to us from the French province.

It looks great electro or biofireplace in the interior, fully trimmed with wood of various breeds, and it does not matter whether zoned space by color or not.

In urban apartments there is hardly enough room for furniture, but it is quite realistic to install a fireplace thanks to these tips:

• Let the overall color of the walls be light in order to visually expand the space. Eliminate the use of bright colored wallpaper and give preference to concise shades like white, beige, cream, lavender and others neutral.
• In the conditions of a small-sized apartment, modern designs look good, which allow using glossy surfaces and glass furniture that does not crowd space and visually enriches it.
• Do not arrange the walls around the perimeter, so as not to hide the space and do not create a typical interior. Place the sofa in one and a half or a couple of meters from the fireplace and TV in a free space, and at the back, if possible, install a narrow chest of drawers or a table.
• For an apartment, choose a fireplace under the TV in accordance with the size of the room: if the living room is large or too spacious, stop choosing a large model, if on the contrary, the room is modest, give preference to small models of electric or biofire fireplace.
