A beautiful addition will be a forged protective screen in front of the portal and a fireplace set.
In the manufacture of such a fireplace, it is necessary to ensure a good load-bearing capacity of the frame, and it is also desirable to use non-combustible materials.
The classic interior of the living room with a fireplace is perfect for installation in an electric fire simulation furnace or a biofuel unit. Both these options do not require the installation of a chimney, but are fire-hazardous.
