Five Stunning Hanging Fireplace Ideas for Your Home In 2026
A Hanging Fireplace to Suit Every Space
Hanging fireplaces aren’t one size fits all, and that’s an overall positive. There’s a wealth of choice available to suit every home. Whether you’re looking to add a hanging fireplace to a detached modern build, your log cabin retreat or even a custom-build home, there’s an option to suit everyone.
Fireplaces as a centrepiece
Hanging fireplaces not only bring a cosy ambiance to your space but can be the centrepiece that draws the eye and elevates a room. Caleo’s range of hanging fireplaces mean every style of home design and size is catered to, meaning you can easily find your dream fireplace.
Five Hanging Fireplace Ideas
Idea 1: The Central Fireplace
As a central point in any space, a hanging fireplace offers an inviting warmth to a room and the ‘wow’ factor. Perfect for complimenting your rooms surroundings and adding a gentle warm glow in the evenings.
Does a Central Fireplace Have to be Hanging?
No, this is just a term used to describe any centre of the room fireplace. There are also fireplace options that have a central base, rather than being fully suspended. The EVA from JC Bordelet is a great example of this.
Idea 2: Corner Fireplace
While more tucked away than the central option, the hanging corner fireplace offers something the central fireplace doesn’t: occupying ‘dead space’. Most room corners in larger spaces are often left empty as it’s difficult to find furniture that fits exactly against the wall or that looks intentional. A corner hanging fireplace transforms this often-overlooked area into a cosy retreat. Position an armchair nearby and you’ve got the perfect reading nook.
Are there corner fireplaces that sit against a wall?
This design is much less common, but they do exist. In our range, the Julietta Corner is the best option for this, and offers a sleek design made to give you a fireplace that sits neatly in a corner.
Idea 3: A Sleek Wall fireplace
A fireplace with its back to the wall still elevates your space but keeps a walkway clear for access. This design is perfect for adding a beautiful fireplace to your space, while keeping your room ‘neat’.
Can Wall-Backed Fireplaces be Installed in Any Home?
Every home is different, and each fireplace has a requirement for how far it must sit away from the wall. We’d recommend making an enquiry if you would like to know more about how these fireplaces could be installed in your space.
Idea 4: A 360° View Of The Flames
Looking to make your fireplace the gathering area of yourspace? Many of our hanging fireplaces come with a 360° glass chamber, givingyou a view of the beautiful flames from every angle.
Are There Any Alternative Fuel Hanging Fireplaces?
Yes, most of our fireplaces are adaptable to use different fuel types, and some even come as standard. The Ergofocus and Gyrofocus gas are fantastic examples of this.
Idea 5: A Double-Sided Fireplace
More commonly seen in stove style fireplaces, this style of hanging fireplace still has the benefit of radiating heat at 360°, but gives you a clear view of the beautiful flames from the front and back. Ideal for sitting between a room divider or to create a natural divider in an open plan space.
Do Double-Sided Fireplaces Open From Both Sides?
Most double-sided fireplaces are visible and accessible from both sides. We recommend the Calista hanging fireplace for a beautiful double-sided option.
Does a fireplace position make a difference to the heat?
In short, yes. A standard ‘black box stove’, for example, does a good job of heating one small room, but these are often inset into a wall, meaning you lose a portion of the heat.
A hanging fireplace has the benefit of heat radiating at 360° around the fireplace body and flue, gently heating a room all day and night.
How Hot Does a Hanging Fireplace Get?
This depends on the model of the fireplace. Our fireplaces range from 5Kwh to 19Kwh depending on the model, and as part of our proposal process, we will make you aware of heat output on your custom quote.
