GEMMA’S CHOICE: A DOUBLE-SIDED FIREPLACE Whether shared between two rooms or a central focus in one, a dual-aspect fireplace will make a red-hot design statement

Dual-aspect fireplaces boast serious wow factor. Popular in open-plan rooms, they can be used to help zone different areas without losing the sense of space, light or socialness.
