Matched in scale. This fireplace and television, one on top of the other, make for a stunning lesson in scale. The perfectly sized components almost make them look like they're combined. Design tip: When placing your TV above your fireplace, make sure it's low enough to be comfortable to look at.

Pocket doors. Pocket doors help this TV blend seamlessly behind built-in wooden panels. The custom remote-controlled pocket doors fold back onto themselves and then slip into the built-in to keep the view of the TV clear when necessary. Design tip: Pocket doors like this often require a bigger budget, due to the mechanics.

Frame your TV above the fireplace - Finally, someone has successfully achieved the ‘TV above the fireplace’ look – so hard to get right. The dark fireplace surround and matching charcoal-painted chimney breast work perfectly with the dark frame of the TV. The herringbone stone at the back of the fireplace also lifts the space and stops it from looking dreary.

In most cases, wood burning fireplaces can be converted to gas with either a set of gas logs or an insert, which is a self-contained system designed to fit inside the existing fireplace.
In most cases, gas fireplaces cannot be changed from one type to another, or modified. Modifying a gas fireplace by say, changing a vented one into an unvented one, would be illegal and dangerous.
