We've recently moved into a 1940's house. Its got a horrible 80's gas fire in the living room. We were thinking of replacing it with an inset gas fire , but the ones i've seen online are pretty ugly or prohibitively expensive. Alternatively we could take out the old gas fire and put in an open fire, it would not really be used and mainly be decorative as we have a 3 YO and baby. Or we could just board the whole thing up which would give us more space but then we would be left with a blank chimney breast.
Any suggestions for nice gas fires under 1000? Would prefer to use the flue than get a flueless one for saftey reasons. Or ideas with what to do with unused chimney breast. We can't afford to have it removed. Or any other ideas I haven't thought of. TIA
