Design for comfort, how an electric fire makes your home a sanctuary

Updated 29/02/2024

Since the invention of fire by cavemen, fire has been a source of innovation, warmth, nourishment, community, and comfort.

Our primal instincts mean that firelight and fire are seen as healing, meditative, and nurturing. The hearth that the family gathers around. The fire provides heat for cooking food and nourishment, and the obvious warmth and comfort on a cold night.

Fire has evolved a lot since then, we now have ovens and homes, but fire remains a comforting source.

Fire is a primal comfort

During the cold winter months, if you can focus on the positives, this is a great way to help your mental health get through these colder miserable months. Making your home a nicer place to work from or come home to after a long day's work, is one of the biggest and best things you can do for yourself and your family.

Changing your interior design with some DIY can make you feel so much better. To turn your home into a sanctuary you should look at your most basic primal comforts. What colours make you feel safe, what home comforts can you bring in, and of course adding an electric fire to warm the house and the flicker of the flame will give you comfort and mindfulness.

You can choose many options from our bespoke electric fires, the colour of the flame, the fuel, as well as the luxury marble finish. Electric fires are safe and easy to install as a simple addition to your home or as part of a bigger DIY project such as adding a fake wall and media centre.
