Answer

You can add warmth and ambiance to a century home without a fireplace by installing a direct-vent gas insert, a pellet stove, or an electric fireplace with a period-appropriate mantel. Using vintage tile, reclaimed wood surrounds, and cozy area rugs enhances historic charm. These solutions provide the cozy glow and heat fireplace lovers desire without chimney repair risks or altering original walls.
