The project:
This project involved replacing an outdated wood burner fireplace that was over 20 years old, along with a 10mm fibro base and old pink tiles used for floor protection.
The original feature was no longer safe, efficient, or visually suited to the home. The goal was to modernise the space and increase the property’s value by creating a contemporary focal point.
Using Bunnings DIY products, we designed and built a combined fireplace TV unit with decorative cabinetry and integrated storage. The finished result has transformed the living area into a warm, stylish, and inviting central feature of the home.
