Go Modern with a Gas Linear Fireplace

The marking of a modern home is all about letting natural elements do their thing. And when it comes to fire, nothing frames it better than a linear design. Gas linear fireplaces are gaining popularity as an efficient and trend-proof alternative to traditional wood-burning fireplaces. These sleek fireplaces offer the warmth and ambiance of real flames, controlled with the touch of a button. And, with their sleek, rectangular designs, they put the emphasis back on beauty, encouraging connection with the room you’re in.

Why Choose a Gas Linear Fireplace? 

While modern in style, gas linear fireplaces suit a traditional interior style just as much as a contemporary one. The clean, angular lines will immediately impact your space, offering an upgraded version of the typical wood-burning fireplace with more aesthetic appeal. Gas linear fireplaces are also a convenient choice because there’s no stress of constantly purchasing firewood and cleaning up ash. Models like the Mezzo, Cosmo or Primo II offer IntelliFire® touch ignition with touchscreen remote control that allows you to transform your space to a cozy oasis with the simple tap of a button. You can customize any fireplace model to match your interior design style, ensuring there will always be a linear fireplace from Heat & Glo that fits your vision and lifestyle.

To modernize your space, consider completing an accent wall to complement your gas linear fireplace. Accent walls and Heat & Glo gas linear fireplaces create striking focal points in modern home design, combining aesthetics with functionality. Accent walls, often painted in bold colors or decorated with unique materials like reclaimed wood or natural stone, draw attention and add depth to a room. Meanwhile, Heat & Glo's gas linear fireplaces offer sleek, contemporary lines that blend seamlessly into these feature walls, providing both visual appeal and warmth. Together, an accent wall and a Heat & Glo gas linear fireplace elevate the design and comfort of living spaces, making them inviting and stylish. Eager to get started?

Don’t Forget the Floating Mantel & TV 

Floating mantels are a wonderful way to accessorize your fireplace and are also practical. They provide essential storage space and a stylish platform for decorative items such as vases, framed prints or greenery that can create a cohesive look and show off your personal style. The integration with the sleek lines of a modern gas fireplace adds to the perfect touch. Opting for a Heat & Glo linear fireplace ensures a clean, contemporary look, with the added benefits of efficient heating and ease of use. Each gas linear fireplace includes a heat management option, making it safe to mount your TV, mantel, artwork and other combustibles as close as 12 inches from the firebox. And for some models like the Primo II and Mezzo, even less!

Make It Yours with Cool Materials 

The ability to use varied materials such as stone and glass for the surrounding and firebox interior enhances the modern aesthetic. Reflective glass panels and crushed glass fire beds, for example, amplify the flames and create a visually stunning effect that complements modern decor. Choosing the correct media that matches your modern vision will elevate the look of the fireplace. Whether it is choosing a gorgeous clear bead fire bed or opting for a birch or oak log set, the right media can play a factor in bringing the whole vibe together.
