We live in a newish property, nearly ten years old. When we moved in the developers had included a coal effect gas fire and limestone mantelpiece. A few years ago we had the gas fire replaced with a cream enamel log burner which we use often in the colder months.
We now want to replace the mantelpiece and hearth because limestone is porous so very hard to keep looking clean when combined with smoke and ash. I would also like a deeper hearthstone to protest the new carpet we are planning. What would people recommend to replace it? I don't like the idea of wood, but could be convinced if someone showed me something gorgeous. I really like the Edwardian metal fire surrounds with inset tiles but think that would be too heavy looking for a modern home.
