You might be thinking of it as your primary source of heat for the living room or just using it for decorative reasons. Thinking about the usage helps you determine what the best gas fireplace is based on style and location.
Consider the Location

Gas Fireplaces today can be installed in many locations that wood heaters cannot be. Internal or external walls of a home and even in bedrooms. Many gas fireplaces can be flued and terminated on an eternal wall of a home to make installation a breeze.
Finish Your Gas Fireplace with Quality Finishes
Add even more value to your home by finishing your gas fireplace with a stone hearth or cladding the fireplace wall in stone. This will add a premium finish that will make your home stand out with a memorable quality feature. Many installations incorporate a mantelpiece around the fireplace to create a more tradition and even formal look.
Maximise Light
The visual appeal of a fireplace are the rich warm colours created by the flames and glowing rock embers surrounding the ceramic logs. Some fireplaces even offer addition accent lighting within the fireplace enhancing the appearance even when the fireplace is off. You can complement and enhance the fireplace by using mood lighting in the room, ensure you install dimmable lights and even wall lighting.
Brighter lighting colours do an excellent job of adding more energy into your living room. Meanwhile, the darker more ambient coloured lighting exudes intimacy, which is ideal for those romantic dinners or relaxing by the fire.
