A double sided fireplace is one of the most impressive ways to bring warmth, atmosphere and architectural style into a home. Whether you are renovating a period property, opening up a living space, designing a modern kitchen-diner, or creating a feature between two rooms, a double sided fire gives you the best of both worlds: practical heat and a beautiful focal point that can be enjoyed from more than one angle.
Unlike a standard fireplace, which faces one direction, a double sided fireplace is designed to be viewed from both sides. This makes it ideal for open-plan living areas, dividing walls, large lounges, dining rooms, extensions, and contemporary family spaces. It can help zone a room without closing it off, giving you warmth, visibility and ambience across two connected areas.
What Is a Double Sided Fireplace?
A double sided fireplace, sometimes called a two sided fireplace or see-through fireplace, is a fire or stove with glass on both sides. This allows the flames to be seen from two rooms or two areas of the same room. Depending on the property and design, it may be installed into a chimney breast, a central wall, a room divider, or a bespoke fireplace structure.
For UK homes, double sided fireplaces are especially popular in open-plan layouts. Many homeowners want a cosy living area without losing the spacious feel of a modern extension. A double sided fireplace can sit beautifully between a lounge and dining area, or between a kitchen and snug, creating a natural visual link while still defining each zone.
Why Choose a Double Sided Fireplace?
The main appeal of a double sided fireplace is impact. It creates an instant wow factor and gives your home a premium, designed feel. But it is not just about looks.
A double sided fireplace can also improve the way you use your space. Instead of heating or enhancing only one room, it can serve two areas at once. On cold evenings, you can enjoy the glow of the fire from the sofa, the dining table, or even a kitchen island. It becomes part of everyday life, not just a decorative feature.
A double sided fireplace can also add value to your home by making the interior feel more bespoke and considered. Buyers are often drawn to homes with standout features, and a professionally designed fireplace installation can help create a strong impression.
Double Sided Wood Burning Stoves
For homeowners who love the authentic crackle and flame pattern of a real fire, a double sided wood burning stove is a superb choice. These stoves combine traditional warmth with modern engineering and are particularly effective in larger rooms or spaces where a central heating feature is needed.
One popular example is the Clock Double, also known as the Clock Blithfield DS double sided stove. This model offers a striking double-sided design, making it ideal for open-plan living and feature fireplace installations. Its clean lines and strong performance make it a natural fit for homeowners who want a modern classic rather than an ordinary stove.
A stove such as the Clock Double can work beautifully in a central fireplace build, giving both sides of the room a clear view of the flames. It can also be paired with a carefully designed surround, hearth and chimney system to create a complete, made-to-measure fireplace installation.
Designed Around Your Home
Every home is different, which is why the best double sided fireplace installations begin with proper planning. The size of the room, chimney or flue requirements, ventilation, heat output, wall structure, and interior style all need to be considered before choosing the right product.
This is where Firecraft Fireplaces can help. Firecraft can design and build the fireplace space around your home, rather than simply supplying a product and leaving you to work out the rest. Whether you want a bold contemporary feature, a traditional chimney breast, a media wall-inspired layout, or a fireplace that divides two areas, the team can guide you through the options.
A professionally planned installation also helps ensure that your fireplace is not only attractive, but safe, efficient and suitable for your property. With fireplaces, stoves and heating appliances, expert advice is essential.
Double Sided Fireplaces for Open-Plan Living
Open-plan living remains one of the biggest interior design trends in the UK, but large spaces can sometimes feel cold or undefined. A double sided fireplace solves this problem beautifully.
Placed between a lounge and dining area, it creates a natural separation without blocking light or making the room feel smaller. Installed between a kitchen and snug, it gives both areas a cosy focal point. In a larger living room, it can help divide seating areas while keeping the whole space connected.
The result is a home that feels warm, stylish and practical. You get the sense of separate zones, but without losing the flow that makes open-plan living so appealing.
Choosing the Right Double Sided Fireplace
When choosing a double sided fireplace, think about both style and performance. Do you want a wood burning stove, a multi-fuel stove, a gas fire or an electric fire? Do you prefer a traditional look, a minimalist design, or a statement stove like the Clock Double? How much heat does the room need? Will the fireplace be used every day or mainly for atmosphere?
The right answer depends on your home and lifestyle. A large open-plan space may need a higher output appliance, while a smaller room divider may be better suited to something more compact. The finish also matters. Black, grey, metallic and colour options can all affect how the fireplace sits within the wider interior scheme.
Firecraft Fireplaces can help you compare suitable models, understand installation requirements, and choose a fireplace that works practically as well as visually.
