Don’t let the plasma TV dominate the room

Don’t let the plasma TV dominate the room – hide it away in Picture House’s new innovative Mystic black marble fully working fireplace – now you see it, now you don’t!

You and your partner want the latest home cinema equipment, but do you really want a gigantic black screen dominating the sitting room? With the new patented Mystic – Picture House’s latest design – the plasma fireplace is completely hidden inside a luxurious black marble fireplace with a fully working exclusive Faber fire, which outputs 2kW of heat.

All you do is press the remote and the TV screen automatically lifts into view – press it again and the screen magically disappears. It will impress the kids! With the Mystic design, you can use the remote to turn on the heat, adjust it, switch the fire on and off and even dim the brightness of the fire - all from the comfort of your armchair. What’s more, the marble fireplace has space for your DVD and cable box and hides all those messy wires and cables. The fireplace can be moved and doesn’t require a flue.

The price is in the region of £5,000.

There are other designs available to suit different decors – the Italian style Napoli in white marble (about £5,000); the Classic – a timeless, classic, elegant fireplace (about £3,000), the Award-winning “Beachcomber” (about £2,000); the Tudor, a solid oak and marble plasma fireplace (about £4,000) and the “Modern”. All are available with the option of pebbles, lava rock, woodland log or driftwood. All the fires are remote controlled, which means you can turn on the heat, adjust the heat and switch the fire on and off. The Modern also has built in downlighters which change colour – this means you can adjust the lights of the fire by using the remote according to your décor or mood. It has space to conceal your equipment in the lower section of the fireplace. The price is in the region of £3,800 (the option for central control of hidden equipment and multi-colour downlighters is extra.)

David Free, Award winning furniture designer and inventor of the Firelight range of plasma fireplaces, who presents “The Great British Woodshop” TV programme on Discovery Real Time, says: “People tend to put the plasma TV in the middle of the wall which means it dominates the room and takes up space.” So he came up with the idea of fireplaces and cabinets that conceal the plasma TV and wiring. “The ‘Firelight’ range is a revolutionary new concept in home cinema design - a way of disguising the plasma TV as well as having a stylish, fully working fireplace at the same time,” he says.”
