What style of fireplace would you put in a 1930s house?

[Shwish]

It currently has an ugly marble thing. Very 90s style. I want to replace it. If we were in Victorian it would be easy! Id get a restored Victorian one but I really don't like the 1930s tiled style. So what would look good and not out of place?

Look up Edwardian fireplaces or you could maybe get away with an art nouveau or art deco one?

There are some good ideas here:

Oh, I was going to say get a tiled one! I think they look lovely. Still, they tend to be quite big and a trip hazard. Do you actually need a fireplace? There is a reason why poeple tended to replace those tiled ones with wall-hanging gas fires in the 70s. You get more floor-space, which is often much-needed. I would opt for a sleek gas or electric fire on the wall.

Do you want to use it, or is it purely decorative? If you want to use it, you need an enclosed stove - to comply with regulations, but also because it's far more efficient.

How much of the rest of the room reflects the 1930s?

Incidentally, you'll probably be surprised by how big the opening is when you start. We inherited a variety of original 1930s and 1980s/90s replacement fireplaces. Two of them (one 90s replacement and one of the originals) we knocked out and discovered that on the ground floor a 12" fireplace sat in a 3'6" nook, and on the first floor it sat in a 2' nook. The ground floor fireplace we left open, and quite minimalist, and made a feature of a multifuel stove. It's not very 1930s, but neither is our choice of furniture and furnishings.

If you want to go neutral, you could just add an oak beam or similar and tile at the back. That's what a lot of places have these days. Many people don't like the 20th century tiled style and it often doesn't look great with more modern furnishings. The style in the picture below would work with anything, although personally I wouldn't go with the pink walls!

I would say simple wood burner with granite hearth and wooden beam/mantle.
I recently got a gas “woodburner” which I absolutely love and is better for the environment, but I already had a gas connection there.
