Autumn has arrived. It gets dark earlier, the evenings are getting longer and that familiar feeling is slowly returning: time to make the house cosy again.
Make your home extra warm and cosy
A blanket on the sofa, a few candles and, of course… a fireplace. Few things create that warm, cosy feeling in a living room quite like the glow of dancing flames.
But having a fireplace no longer means you need a chimney, a pile of firewood or a major renovation. With a modern electric fireplace or bioethanol fireplace, you can easily bring the atmosphere of a fireplace into your home.
No chimney? No problem.
Many people dream of having a fireplace, but run into the same problem: there is no chimney or flue.
With a traditional wood-burning or gas fireplace, this is an important requirement. With an electric fireplace or bioethanol fireplace, it isn't.
An electric fireplace can simply be plugged into a power socket. A bioethanol fireplace burns bioethanol and does not require a flue. This gives you much more freedom when deciding where to place your fireplace.
In an existing living room, underneath the television, built into a media wall or as a freestanding centrepiece. You don't have to completely change your home to enjoy a fireplace.
An electric fireplace: warmth at the touch of a button
An electric fireplace is perhaps one of the easiest ways to add both atmosphere and extra warmth to your living room.
Plug it in and you're ready to go. The flame effect creates the atmosphere, while the built-in heating function can provide extra warmth on colder days. And that's exactly what makes it so useful in autumn. It doesn't have to be freezing outside before you want a little extra warmth. Sometimes you simply want to curl up on the sofa on a chilly evening without heating the entire house.
With many electric fireplaces, you can also enjoy the flames without using the heating function. So even on a mild evening, you can enjoy the cosy atmosphere of a fireplace without adding extra heat to the room.

Prefer real flames? Choose bioethanol
An electric flame effect can look beautiful, but of course, nothing quite compares to a real flame.
With a bioethanol fireplace, you can enjoy a real fire without needing a chimney or flue. The flames burn on bioethanol and create a natural, lively fire. The beauty of a real flame is that it is never exactly the same. You can see the fire move and dance, creating a completely different experience from an electric flame effect.
At Xaralyn, we use a ceramic stone burner in which the bioethanol is absorbed. This keeps the fuel contained within the burner and allows you to easily adjust the flame. A bioethanol fireplace is therefore especially suited to anyone who thinks: “I don't want the effect of fire, I want real fire.”

Turn an empty wall into a cosy space
A fireplace doesn't have to be large or traditional.
Perhaps you have an empty wall that could use something extra. Or maybe you're creating a new TV unit or media wall. An inset fireplace can be the perfect finishing touch.
A long electric fireplace underneath the television creates a modern look. A compact fireplace can fit beautifully into a smaller piece of furniture. And with a freestanding fireplace, you can change the layout of your living room much more easily.
Bioethanol fireplaces are available in many different shapes and sizes too. From compact tabletop fireplaces to larger built-in models that can truly become the centrepiece of a room.
Not just for the coldest days
A fireplace is about much more than heating a room. Especially on days when you don't need to turn the heating up yet, a fireplace can provide that extra touch of comfort. And on warmer days? With an electric fireplace, simply switch off the heating function and enjoy the flame effect on its own. That's why a modern decorative fireplace can really be enjoyed all year round.
In autumn for cosy evenings. In winter for extra warmth. And in spring or on a summer evening simply for the atmosphere.
Warmth without the hassle
Ultimately, a fireplace should be enjoyable. You want to come home, switch it on and relax. No carrying logs. No cleaning out ash. No chimney sweeping. And with electric and bioethanol fireplaces, there is no need for a chimney or flue.
That makes a modern fireplace much more accessible than many people realise. So when the weather starts getting cooler outside, make your home even cosier inside.
