The simple elegance of minimalistic design can be so effective that when a person is in the presence of a well designed minimalist object the person is emotionally moved and the object leaves a lasting impression on the person. One may wonder how in the usual excess of modern life, where everyone seems to want more than enough of everything, can an object that strips functionality to the bare minimum still have such a profound effect. And yet these objects do have a huge impact and you will find people stop and admire them for a while.

The beauty of minimalistic design lies in the philosophy that less is more. So if you want to have a fireplace that stands out and adds elegance to the room you needn't opt for an ornate loud design. Since the basic element of a fireplace, the fire itself, has a natural beauty you need little else to make it look great. In a gas fireplace with a minimalistic design, the fact that nothing else competes with the beauty of the ribbon of fire allows you to fully soak in the warmth and the visual appeal.

A quality gas fireplace ...
... is also minimalistic in that it minimizes the amount of fuel that is left unburnt. This means that the cost of fuel is kept to a minimum and the impact on the environment is minimal as well. Clearly these minimums make the gas fireplace even more attractive, reinforcing the philosophy of less being more. Though it may not show, some very high tech engineering goes into making these fireplaces extremely energy efficient.

With a gas fireplace you also have a greater freedom with respect to its location. It does not require a hearth and you can get options for vent free fireplaces as well. These fireplaces can be wall mounted and therefore do not use up precious floor space.

Modern life style is often associated with high levels of comforts with low levels of ornamentation that is without a function. A gas fireplace therefore fits in very well with a modern décor. The simplicity and flawlessness go hand in hand with high performance and result in a modern masterpiece. You can see a great range of quality gas fireplaces at www.sparkfires.com.
