Providing a centrepiece in your home, a wood burner, multi-fuel stove or electric fire, is sure to create a warm and inviting living space for friends and family to gather around during the colder months. To really showcase your impressive stove, make sure you choose a wall colour that enhances the focal point. Not only will this help to zone your sitting room by creating that centre-point to position furniture around, it will also ensure your stove has the perfect backdrop to stand out against.


How to Achieve the Perfect Colour Contrast 

Brightly glowing orange flames are the ideal contrast against violet walls. Opposites on the colour wheel, the combination is visually attractive to the eye. Allowing the flickering orange glow to pop against the dark contrasting walls, this setting really highlights the stove’s warming and characterful appeal.


Modern styling

For a more modern feel, pair our latest stove, the Hoxton, with lavender-like tones for a sleek and stylish interior that’s right on trend for 2022. Simply combine the Hoxton with contemporary furniture including rustic rattan chairs and a few scattered light fittings for an interior that exudes urban appeal.

Dark Living Room Ideas

If a traditional aesthetic is more your style, then choose one of our timeless stove designs such as the Solution or Holborn. The perfect stove for all interiors, select the Midnight or Slate finishes for a truly classic wood burner. The ideal shade for creating darker, moodier living spaces, these popular tones will ensure your log burner provides you with longevity. Combine with on-trend lilac walls and a few antique pieces for stylish space that’s fun yet characterful.


Traditional styling

If you like the look of our more classic Farringdon stove, but wish to add a modern twist to your home, opt for our Spice colourway. With its vivid red exterior, Spice pairs exquisitely with dark colours, including this year’s Pantone Colour of the Year  Very Peri, to deliver the ultimate wow-factor interior.
