Portrait-style fireplaces are both an investment and a design focal point
With an eye to the future, homeowners and designers are making smarter home improvement decisions today choosing projects that yield the highest return on investment. And according to the National Association of Home Builders, one of the best improvements is adding a fireplace.
Not only do fireplaces add warmth and comfort, they rank among the top three features desired by homeowners, which means they add good value, too.
While a roaring fire within the great room or den will never go out of style, smaller portrait-style fireplaces are now tucked into kitchen cabinetry, embedded in bedroom walls or installed above baths. For example, the Bed & Breakfast portrait-style fireplace by Fireplace Xtrordinair is ideal for spaces not normally able to accommodate a fireplace. Not only does this fireplace bring a warm intimacy to a room, it also makes a strong design statement.
In addition, the Bed & Breakfast can be personalized with a wide variety of faceplate designs, accent lights and interior fire-back options. And while the fireplace is compact, with its 2ft x 3ft configuration, it is ample enough to warm smaller rooms the heat output and flame appearance functions are also adjustable.
