Fireplace Design

Sussex & Kent

Fireplaces create a natural focal point within a room. At Alx Gunn Interiors, we design bespoke fireplace features that balance architectural presence with interior cohesion, enhancing both modern and traditional homes.

Can a fireplace be a focal point of the room?

Yes. Fireplace design is often used as an architectural focal point, anchoring the space and influencing furniture layout, lighting, and spatial flow.

A Focal Point for the Home

We design fireplaces that anchor a space visually, integrating seamlessly with surrounding materials, lighting and layout. By carefully considering scale, proportion, finishes and surrounding joinery, we create fireplaces that feel like an integral part of the architecture rather than an afterthought, bringing warmth, character and a sense of permanence to the room.

Can you redesign an existing fireplace?

Yes. We frequently rework existing fireplaces by updating surrounds, proportions, materials, or finishes to better align with the new design direction while respecting the original structure where appropriate.
