Small on space, big on atmosphere – a compact fireplace can make all the difference

Many people associate fireplaces with large living rooms and strong heat output. But what if you don’t have space for a big fireplace, or prefer a more space-efficient solution? A smaller fireplace can be the perfect choice.

Whether you live in an apartment, a townhouse, or a modern home with low heating needs, there are compact fireplaces that fit beautifully. They deliver the same warmth, flame view, and cozy atmosphere as larger models – but in a more space-saving way.

A small fireplace is ideal for:

Apartments and townhouses with chimney
New, well-insulated homes with low heating needs
Small living rooms or spaces where a large fireplace would dominate

Space-saving heat

Compact fireplaces are designed to take up little floor space while providing comfortable warmth without overheating the room. This is especially important in modern, energy-efficient homes with good insulation.

Most smaller fireplaces also feature large glass panels, offering a generous view of the flames. This makes the room feel both bigger and cozier.

How much heat do you need?

New homes are well insulated and require less heating than older houses. When choosing a fireplace or wood-burning stove, it’s important to consider how much heat you actually need.

The same applies to smaller homes and apartments – they simply don’t require as much heat as larger properties. Installing a large fireplace in a small living room could make the space uncomfortably warm.

You can calculate your heating needs to find the right fireplace or stove for your home. Every model has a specified nominal heat output. On our product pages, you’ll find detailed technical information for each fireplace, including dimensions, safety distances, expected heating area, and nominal output.

A stylish choice for modern living

Space-saving fireplaces come in many styles – from clean, minimalist designs to freestanding wood-burning stoves. What they all have in common is that they are:

Timeless in design
Easy to place in the room
Natural focal points
Efficient heat sources

Do I really need a fireplace?

There are no requirements that you must have a fireplace or wood-burning stove, so the choice is entirely yours. Still, most people choose one – not only for the cozy atmosphere, but also for the practical benefit of having an extra heat source. And if the power goes out, a fireplace is a reliable backup.

Many also see a fireplace as a way to add value to their home – both economically and stylistically.

Tip! All our fireplaces are delivered untreated. This means that you can paint the fireplace in any colour you like.
