Buy polyurethane molding for the fireplace and classic furniture: designing the fireplace area

The fireplace is the soul of the home. Not a source of heat (modern heating systems are more efficient), but a focal point, a place where the family gathers on winter evenings, where conversations flow more slowly, where fire creates an atmosphere that no lamp can replicate. Designing the fireplace area transforms a technical object (a firebox with a chimney or an electric fireplace) into an architectural accent around which the entire living room interior is built.Buy polyurethane molding for the fireplaceand install a portal with columns, pilasters, and a pediment — means turning the fireplace into a portal (literally), behind which fire lives. Placing around the fireplaceClassic Furniture for the Living Room— two armchairs with carved armrests, a console with a marble top, a coffee table on carved legs — means creating a composition where each element enhances the other. In this article, we explore the anatomy of the fireplace area: how to choose a fireplace portal with proportions that match the room, how to select furniture that rhymes with the portal's carving, how to decorate the walls around the fireplace with molding frames that create symmetry, how to complete the composition with a high wooden baseboard that connects all elements through color and material. Get ready to enter a world where fire is framed by architecture, where furniture engages in dialogue with molding, where every detail — from furniture handles to the baseboard — participates in creating an atmosphere of coziness and luxury.

Fireplace portal: the architecture of fire

Watch video ...

Anatomy of a classic portal

A fireplace portal is a U-shaped structure framing the fireplace firebox (wood-burning, gas, electric, bio-fireplace). A classic portal consists of five main elements:

Side jambs — vertical elements on the sides of the firebox, 150-300 mm wide, height from the floor to the mantel shelf (usually 1000-1200 mm). Jambs can be flat (rectangular profile with decorative overlays) or three-dimensional (columns, pilasters with bases, shafts, capitals).

Mantelpiece (shelf) — a horizontal element above the firebox, 180-350 mm wide, projecting forward from the plane of the portal by 100-200 mm, and 200-400 mm longer than the firebox width on each side. The mantelpiece serves a functional role (for placing clocks, candelabras, vases, photo frames) and a decorative one (it completes the portal at the top, creating a horizontal line).

Frieze — a decorative strip between the upper part of the jambs and the mantelpiece, 100-250 mm high, adorned with ornamentation (acanthus leaves, rosettes, garlands, geometric motifs). The frieze connects the verticals of the jambs with the horizontal of the shelf.

Plinth — the lower base of the portal on which the jambs stand, 80-150 mm high, as wide as the shelf or slightly narrower. The plinth creates a visual sense of solidity, the impression that the portal stands on a sturdy base.

Pediment or attic (optional) — a decorative finish above the mantelpiece, 200-500 mm high, triangular (classical pediment) or rectangular (attic) in shape, decorated with ornamentation, cartouches, coats of arms, mascaron. The pediment makes the portal monumental, suitable for rooms with high ceilings (3.2+ meters).

Portal dimensions: proportions relative to the room

The width of the portal is determined by the width of the firebox plus offsets. If the electric fireplace firebox is 800 mm, the portal should be 1200-1400 mm (200-300 mm on each side). A portal that is too narrow (a 900 mm portal for an 800 mm firebox) looks like a thin frame and does not create architectural mass. A portal that is too wide (an 1800 mm portal for an 800 mm firebox) is visually unbalanced, and the firebox gets lost inside the huge frame.

Portal height from floor to the top of the mantelpiece: 1100-1300 mm — standard for most living rooms. This height is convenient for placing decor on the shelf (no need to reach), corresponds to the average height of an armchair back (if armchairs are placed on the sides of the fireplace, their backs do not compete with the portal in height).

Total portal height with pediment: 1500-2000 mm. Such a portal requires a ceiling height of 3.0-3.5 meters so as not to overwhelm the space. In a room with a 2.7-meter ceiling, a portal with a pediment will occupy 70-75% of the wall height, visually oppressive, reducing the perceived height. For standard ceilings (2.7-3.0 m), a portal without a pediment or with a low attic (100-150 mm) is optimal.

Portal depth (projection from the wall) is the sum of the firebox depth plus the portal thickness. An electric fireplace depth of 150-200 mm, portal thickness of 80-120 mm, resulting in a total depth of 230-320 mm. This is acceptable — the portal does not protrude significantly into the room, does not steal area. A wood-burning fireplace with a deep firebox of 500-700 mm plus a portal of 100-150 mm, total 600-850 mm — a substantial volume requiring a spacious room (30+ m²).

Portal stylistics: from neoclassical to baroque

Neoclassical portal: restrained elegance. Jambs in the form of flat pilasters with fluting (vertical grooves), Ionic or Corinthian order capitals (but simplified, without abundant decoration). Frieze with dentils (a row of small rectangular projections) or a laurel wreath. Mantelpiece straight, with a classical profile (cavetto + torus). Color white or cream. Such a portal is for interiors in the neoclassical style, where a balance between decoration and restraint is valued.

Baroque portal: dramatic luxury. Jambs in the form of voluminous columns with twisted fluting or fully carved with acanthus leaves entwining them. Corinthian capitals with abundant scrolls, rosettes, mascaron. Frieze saturated with ornamentation (rocaille, flower garlands, cherubs). Mantelpiece massive, with a rich profile (several levels of cavetto and torus). Pediment with a cartouche, coat of arms, or scene. Color: white with gilding of the protruding parts of the ornament or patinated (grey-beige background, dark brown patina in the recesses). Such a portal is for Baroque, Empire interiors, where luxury is not a flaw but a program.

Art Nouveau portal: flowing lines, asymmetry. Jambs with wavy contours, plant ornamentation (stylized irises, lilies, seaweed). Mantelpiece with curved edges. Color: natural (imitation wood, stone) or monochrome (white, grey). Such a portal is for Art Nouveau, Art Nouveau interiors, where the organic nature of forms is valued.

Portal material: why polyurethane

Traditional fireplace portal materials — marble (classic, monumentality, price 350,000-1,200,000 rubles per portal), wood (warmth, carving, price 280,000-750,000 rubles for a portal made of solid oak with carving), plaster (molding, detailing, but fragility, fear of moisture). Polyurethane offers the advantages of all three without the drawbacks:

Detailing like plaster: casting in silicone molds reproduces every detail of the relief (veins of acanthus leaves, texture of mascaron hair, tiny beads of ornament). Relief depth up to 30-40 mm, creating sculptural quality.

Strength higher than plaster: polyurethane is elastic, upon impact it does not shatter but slightly deforms and recovers. Plaster is fragile, impacts cause chips.

Lightweight: a polyurethane portal 1400 mm wide, 1200 mm high weighs 25-35 kg (disassembled — several elements). A marble portal of similar size weighs 300-500 kg, requires floor reinforcement, installation by several people with equipment. A polyurethane portal is installed by two people in 4-6 hours.

Moisture resistance: polyurethane does not absorb water, does not deform from humidity (critical if the fireplace is in a country house with variable heating in winter). Plaster absorbs moisture, can develop mold, crack.

Price: a polyurethane portal 45,000-180,000 rubles depending on size, complexity of decor. A marble portal 350,000-1,200,000 rubles. Savings of 75-85% with a visually identical result (after painting, a polyurethane portal under marble is indistinguishable from natural at a distance of 1-2 meters).

Classical furniture around the fireplace: creating a relaxation area

Two armchairs: symmetry and dialogue

Classical composition of the fireplace zone: two armchairs on the sides of the fireplace, placed symmetrically, at a distance of 80-120 cm from the portal, turned at an angle of 15-30° to the fireplace (not strictly frontal, but slightly turned towards each other, creating an invitation to dialogue).

An armchair for the fireplace zone should be a worthy partner to the portal: if the portal has carved columns and baroque ornamentation, the armchair should have carved armrests, cabriole legs, velvet upholstery. If the portal is restrained neoclassical, the armchair should have straight or slightly curved legs, restrained carving, upholstery in smooth fabric or leather.

Armchair dimensions: width 70-85 cm (sufficient for comfortable seating, but not overwhelming), seat depth 55-65 cm, seat height from floor 42-47 cm (standard for armchairs), back height from floor 95-110 cm (the back should not be higher than the mantelpiece, otherwise the armchair competes with the portal). High throne armchairs (back 130-150 cm) are appropriate only if the portal is also very tall (2000+ mm with a pediment).

Upholstery: velvet (burgundy, emerald, sapphire — saturated colors creating luxury), velour (slightly less shiny than velvet, but just as plush), natural leather (brown, black, wine — classic for English interiors), jacquard (fabric with woven ornamentation — damask, plant motifs).

Carving on armchairs: armrests with volute scrolls at the ends, acanthus leaves along the length. Legs turned or carved (cabriole — S-shaped curve, ending in a lion's paw or scroll). Back with a carved overlay in the center (cartouche, rosette, coat of arms). Carving is painted in wood color (natural oak under oil, dark brown, black) or with gilding of protruding parts (gold on leaf tips, on volute crests).

Armchair placement: symmetrical relative to the fireplace axis. If the fireplace is centered on the wall, armchairs at equal distances from the center. A coffee table (small, diameter 60-80 cm or square 70×70 cm) between the armchairs, on which books, cups, glasses are placed. Armchairs + table + fireplace form an intimate zone 3-4 meters in diameter, separated from the rest of the living room space.

Console: vertical accent next to the fireplace

Console — a narrow tall table depth 35-50 cm, width 100-150 cm, height 80-90 cm, placed against the wall next to the fireplace (if the fireplace is not centered on the wall but offset, the console fills the empty space). A console in classical style has carved legs (four cabriole legs or two side carved supports, connected by a carved apron), a tabletop made of marble, granite, or solid wood, a carved frieze under the tabletop (a strip of ornament 60-80 mm high).

The console is arranged with a composition: a central element (a tall vase 50-70 cm with flowers, a sculpture, a clock), side elements (two symmetrical smaller vases, candelabras, photo frames). A mirror in a carved frame is hung on the wall above the console (frame width 120-140 cm, height 100-120 cm, the frame repeats the carving of the console and armchairs, creating unity).

The mirror above the console serves the function: it visually doubles the space (reflects the opposite wall, creates an illusion of depth), reflects light from the fireplace (if the fireplace is operational, the fire is reflected in the mirror, enhancing the effect), balances the fireplace (if the fireplace is on one side of the wall, the mirror with the console is on the other, creating not mirror symmetry, but visual symmetry — two focal points).

Coffee table: the functional center

A coffee table 40-50 cm high is placed between two armchairs in front of the fireplace (lower than the seat of the armchairs to not obstruct the view of the fireplace). Shape: round (diameter 70-90 cm, soft shape, conducive to conversation), oval (100×70 cm, a compromise between round and rectangular), square (80×80 cm, more formal).

Tabletop: marble (white with gray veins, black, beige — classic), tempered glass 10-12 mm thick (transparency, lightness, but requires constant polishing of fingerprints), solid wood (oak, walnut — warmth, but bulkiness). For a classic fireplace zone, marble or solid wood is optimal (glass is too modern, clashes with the style).

Table legs: three-four carved legs, repeating the profile of the armchair legs (if the armchairs have cabriole legs, the table has cabriole legs). Or a central support with a carved base (a column 150-200 mm in diameter, a base 400-500 mm in diameter with carving, the tabletop on top). The central support creates more legroom around the table.

Functional items are placed on the table: books (large-format art, architecture albums — coffee table books), magazines, fireplace and lighting remote controls, a decorative tray (brass, carved wood), on which candles are placed.

Wall moldings: an architectural frame for the fireplace

Symmetrical panels around the fireplace zone

The wall on which the fireplace is located is decorated with moldings, creating symmetrical panels on the sides of the portal. Classic scheme: two vertical rectangular panels measuring 80×140 cm or 100×160 cm are placed symmetrically — one to the left of the fireplace, one to the right, at an equal distance from the portal (30-50 cm from the edge of the portal to the edge of the panel).

Polyurethane molding on the wall60-80 mm wide with a classic profile (cavetto + torus or a more complex relief) form the panel frames. Inside the panel, the wall can be: painted in a contrasting color (if the surrounding wall is light gray, the panel is dark gray), wallpapered with a pattern (damask, floral motifs), upholstered with fabric (velvet, silk, jacquard), left in the same color as the rest of the wall (the panel is perceived only by the relief of the molding).

Above the fireplace on the wall (above the mantel shelf or pediment, if present) a third panel of horizontal format 140×80 cm or round/oval with a diameter of 100-120 cm can be installed. Inside this panel is placed: a mirror (reflects light, visually enlarges the space), a painting (landscape, still life, portrait in a classic style), a decorative polyurethane overlay (bas-relief, cartouche, coat of arms).

The symmetry of the panels is critical: if the left panel is 40 cm from the portal, the right one is also 40 cm. If the left panel is 100×160 cm, the right one is also 100×160 cm. Asymmetry destroys the classic composition, creates visual imbalance.

Vertical division of the wall: pilasters

An alternative or additional technique — installation of polyurethane pilasters on the sides of the fireplace wall. Pilasters — flat vertical elements imitating columns, height from floor to ceiling cornice (if the ceiling is 3.0 meters, pilasters 2.8-2.9 meters), width 150-250 mm, thickness 30-50 mm (projection from the wall).

Pilasters are installed symmetrically: two pilasters frame the fireplace zone (one at a distance of 100-150 cm to the left of the fireplace, one to the right), visually highlighting the central part of the wall. If the wall is long (5-6 meters), four pilasters are possible (two on each side), dividing the wall into three zones (central with the fireplace, two side ones).

Pilasters have a classic structure: base (lower thickened part 200-300 mm high), shaft (vertical part 2200-2400 mm high, smooth or with fluting), capital (upper decorative part 300-400 mm high, decorated with acanthus leaves, volutes). Pilasters are painted white (classic, contrast with a colored wall) or in the color of the wall with a white capital and base (more restrained).

Pilasters create architectural depth: the wall ceases to be a flat surface, acquires relief, structure, historicity (the feeling that this is a palace wall with real columns embedded in the wall).

Connection of moldings with the portal: unity of profile

The profile of the wall moldings should echo the profile of the fireplace portal elements. If the portal has jambs with a cavetto + torus profile, the wall moldings also have cavetto + torus (can be slightly simpler, but stylistically related). If the portal is richly ornamented (carved friezes, modillions), the moldings can also have ornamentation (small beads, egg-and-dart pattern along the edge).

Color unity: portal white — moldings white. Portal patinated (gray-beige with dark brown patina in recesses) — moldings patinated. Portal with gilded ornament — moldings with gilding (not necessarily full, but accent, e.g., a gold line along the inner edge of the molding).

Unity creates a sense of thoughtfulness: the portal and walls are designed in the same system of coordinates, are aware of each other, form a single composition, not a random set of elements.

Furniture handles: the final detail that ties everything together

Carved handles made of solid wood

If case furniture is present in the fireplace zone (a console with drawers, a chest of drawers, a small cabinet for storing firewood or fireplace accessories),Furniture Handlesthey become the final detail that either completes the composition or ruins it.

Carved handles made of solid oak 100-150 mm long, with floral ornamentation (stylized leaves, scrolls), painted to match the furniture or with a contrasting finish (furniture dark oak, handles light oak or gilded), create a connection with the carving of the fireplace portal through repetition of motifs. If the portal has carved acanthus leaves, the handles also have acanthus leaves (smaller in size, but recognizable).

Brass handles with patina (antique brass — golden metal with dark brown patina spots, creating an aged effect) or polished brass (bright golden color) create a connection with possible gilding of the portal. If the portal has gilded ornaments, brass handles rhyme through color.

Handle shape: bail (U-shaped handle, gripped by fingers when opening), knob (round or oval handle, pulled towards oneself), shell (integrated handle in the form of a semicircular recess). For classic furniture in the fireplace zone, bails (functional, decorative, noticeable) with carving or ornamentation are optimal.

Handle size should correspond to furniture size: on a large console 140 cm wide, handles 120-140 mm long (proportional). On a small dresser 80 cm wide, handles 80-100 mm long. Oversized handles on small furniture look grotesque, while too small ones on large furniture get lost.

Unity of details: handles + portal carving + chair carving

The magic of a classic interior lies in repeating motifs at different scales. An acanthus leaf on a portal column capital 80 mm high, the same acanthus leaf on a chair armrest 40 mm high, the same acanthus leaf on a furniture handle 15 mm high. Three scales of one motif create visual unity, a feeling that all elements are related, belong to the same family of forms.

This requires planning: the designer or homeowner must, at the project stage, choose basic ornamental motifs (acanthus, rosette, volute, garland) and consistently apply them to the portal, furniture, handles, moldings. You cannot have a portal with acanthus, chairs with rosettes, handles with geometry — there will be no connection, the elements will compete.

Baseboard: the foundation of the composition that connects the levels

High baseboard made of solid oak

Wooden baseboard 140-180 mm high made of solid oak, with a classic profile (cavetto + torus) or with a single bevel (more restrained), runs along the perimeter of the living room, including the wall with the fireplace. The baseboard creates a visual base on which all vertical elements (portal, pilasters, furniture) 'stand'.

Baseboard color: matching the furniture (if the furniture is dark oak, baseboard dark oak — creates unity through material and color), matching the floor (if the floor is natural oak parquet, baseboard natural oak — the baseboard is perceived as an extension of the floor), contrasting (if the floor is dark, walls are light, baseboard white — creates a clear boundary between floor and walls).

For a classic fireplace zone, a baseboard matching the furniture is optimal: if the chairs are dark oak, the console is dark oak, the baseboard is also dark oak. This creates a visual connection: wooden elements (furniture, baseboard) form a family, contrasted with the plasterwork (portal, moldings, which are usually white or light). The contrast of wood vs. plasterwork structures the space.

Baseboard height should be proportional to the portal height. If the portal is 1200 mm high, baseboard 140-160 mm (approximately 12-13% of the portal height). If the portal with a pediment is 1800 mm high, baseboard 160-180 mm (approximately 9-10%). A baseboard that is too low (80-100 mm) with a tall portal creates imbalance — the top is overloaded, the bottom is too light.

Baseboard as a connection between the portal and the floor

The fireplace portal physically stands on the floor. Visually: the portal plinth (lower base) should be connected to the baseboard. Two options:

Portal plinth and baseboard are the same height (if baseboard is 150 mm, portal plinth is also 150 mm) — creates the impression that the portal grows from the baseboard, is its continuation. The baseboard approaches the portal from both sides, meets the portal plinth, forming a continuous horizontal line around the room's perimeter, interrupted only by the fireplace opening.

Portal plinth is higher than the baseboard (plinth 200 mm, baseboard 150 mm) — the portal is perceived as an independent object standing on the floor, but raised above the baseboard level. This creates a hierarchy: the portal is primary, the baseboard is secondary.

Color: if the baseboard is dark wood, the portal plinth can be white (contrast) or painted to resemble wood (imitation wooden plinth, creating the illusion that the portal is also wooden). Painting polyurethane to resemble wood is done with special techniques: base color (beige, brown), then painting the wood texture (annual rings, veins) with fine brushes or rollers, then patination and varnishing. The result is indistinguishable from real wood from a distance of 1-2 meters.

Frequently asked questions

What size fireplace portal to choose for a 25 m² living room with 2.8-meter ceilings?

For a 25 m² living room, a medium-sized portal is optimal: width 1200-1400 mm, height to the top of the mantel shelf 1100-1200 mm, without a pediment or with a low attica 100-120 mm. Total height 1200-1320 mm (43-47% of the 2800 mm ceiling height) — proportional, not overwhelming. A portal that is too large (width 1800 mm, height with pediment 2000 mm) will overload the room, visually shrinking it.

Is it mandatory to place two chairs symmetrically or can it be one chair + a sofa?

Symmetry (two identical chairs) creates a classic formal composition, where the fireplace is the main object, the chairs are equal participants in a dialogue. Asymmetry (one chair + a sofa or two different chairs) creates a more relaxed modern composition, acceptable in eclectic interiors. For a strictly classic interior with a Baroque portal, symmetry is preferable. For neoclassicism or contemporary classicism, asymmetry is acceptable.

Can a polyurethane portal be used with an electric fireplace or is a real wood-burning one needed?

A polyurethane portal is compatible with any type of fireplace: electric fireplace (flame imitation on a screen or with LED strips, heating optional), bioethanol fireplace (real flame from bioethanol, no smoke or chimney), gas fireplace (flame from gas, requires gas supply and exhaust), wood-burning fireplace (real wood, requires a chimney). Polyurethane is heat-resistant up to +110°C but should not contact an open flame. A gap of 50-80 mm is left between the firebox and the portal, the firebox is thermally insulated, and the portal does not heat above +50-60°C.

How much does full fireplace zone design cost: portal + furniture + moldings + baseboard?

Polyurethane fireplace portal 1400 mm wide, 1200 mm high, neoclassical with pilasters and frieze 78,000 rub + installation and painting 24,000 rub = 102,000 rub. Two classic chairs with carved armrests and velvet upholstery 2×98,000 = 196,000 rub. Oak console with carved legs and marble top 145,000 rub. Round coffee table 80 cm diameter, marble + carved legs 68,000 rub. Wall moldings for four panels 24 meters = 24×850 = 20,400 rub + installation and painting 8,500 rub. Wooden baseboard 180 mm from oak 18 meters (living room perimeter) = 18×2,100 = 37,800 rub + painting 18×1,200 = 21,600 rub. Carved furniture handles from oak 8 pcs (on console and dresser) = 8×2,400 = 19,200 rub. Total 618,500 rub turnkey.

How to care for a polyurethane portal and wooden furniture around the fireplace?

Painted polyurethane portal: wipe dust with a dry soft cloth once a week. If soiled (soot from candles that were on the mantel shelf), wipe with a slightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Repainting possible every 3-5 years (if paint fades, scratches appear). Wooden furniture with oil finish: wipe dust, renew oil layer once a year (apply thin layer, rub in, let absorb). Lacquered furniture: wipe with a damp cloth, re-lacquering possible every 5-7 years (if lacquer wears out, scratches appear).

Is gilding the portal necessary or is white sufficient?

White portal — a classic that works in 70-80% of cases, especially if the walls are colored (gray, beige, green) — the white portal contrasts, stands out. Gilding (selective, on protruding parts of the ornament) adds luxury, drama, suitable for richly decorated Baroque, Empire interiors. If the furniture has gilded carved elements, a portal with gilding creates unity. If the furniture has no gilding (natural wood, patina without gold), it's better to leave the portal white or patinated without gold.

Conclusion: the fireplace zone as the heart of the home

A fireplace is not a household appliance. A fireplace is a symbol of the hearth, a place where the family gathers, where there is warmth (not just physical, but emotional), where time slows down. Designing the fireplace zone transforms a technical object into the architectural and emotional center of the home.

A polyurethane fireplace portal creates an architectural frame, turning the firebox into a portal (literally — an entrance, behind which fire lives). Classic furniture around the fireplace (chairs, console, table) creates a functional zone and an aesthetic composition where each element enhances the other. Wall moldings structure the space, create symmetry, connect the portal to the walls through repeating profiles. Furniture handles made of solid wood or patinated brass — the final detail that either completes the composition or (if chosen incorrectly) ruins it. A tall wooden baseboard creates the foundation on which all elements stand, connects the portal to the floor and to the furniture through color and material.

Creating a harmonious fireplace zone requires an understanding of proportions (portal dimensions correspond to room size, furniture is proportional to the portal, baseboard is proportional to portal height), stylistic unity (Baroque portal — Baroque furniture, Neoclassical portal — Neoclassical furniture), motif repetition (acanthus leaves on the portal, chairs, handles), and color balance (contrast of white stucco and dark wood furniture or a monochrome scheme where everything is in shades of one color).

For over twenty-three years, STAVROS has been creating fireplace zones where architecture meets coziness. Polyurethane fireplace portals range from compact (width 1000 mm, height 900 mm for small living rooms) to monumental (width 1800 mm, height with pediment 2200 mm for grand halls). Styles: Neoclassicism (restrained elegance, fluted pilasters, dentils on the frieze), Baroque (abundant decor, carved columns, rocaille, cherubs, gilding), Empire (strict symmetry, military attributes, laurel wreaths), Art Nouveau (flowing lines, floral ornaments, asymmetry). All portals are made of polyurethane with a density of 280-350 kg/m³, detailing of museum-quality carving (veins of leaves, textures of mascaron faces, finest beads). Portals are supplied disassembled (side posts, mantel shelf, frieze, plinth, optional pediment), mounted with polyurethane adhesive + mechanical fasteners, joints are filled and sanded to invisibility, the entire portal is painted (white, patinated, imitation marble or wood, gilding). Cost 42,000-180,000 rubles depending on size, style, and complexity of decor.

Classic furniture for the fireplace zone includes chairs with carved armrests and legs, upholstered in velvet, velour, genuine leather (from 85,000 rubles per chair); consoles with carved legs and aprons, tabletops of marble, granite, solid oak (from 115,000 rubles); coffee tables round, oval, square with carved legs or central support, tabletops of marble or solid wood (from 58,000 rubles); chests of drawers with carved fronts and marble tops for storing fireplace accessories (from 125,000 rubles). All furniture is made of solid oak or beech, carving is done combined (CNC milling + hand finishing), finishing includes natural wood oil, dark brown or black tinting, patination, gilding of raised carving parts.

Furniture handles made of solid carved oak (length 80-150 mm, floral ornaments, painted to match furniture or gilded, from 1,800 rubles/piece) and patinated brass (antique brass, polished brass, forged brass, from 2,400 rubles/piece). Possibility to manufacture handles with ornaments identical to the carving of the fireplace portal and furniture to create visual unity.

Polyurethane moldings for wall decoration around the fireplace — width from 40 to 120 mm, profiles from simple geometric to complex with ornaments (dentils, beads, egg-and-dart, acanthus leaves). Moldings are mounted with adhesive, joints are filled and sanded, painted white, patinated, gilded. Cost 450-1,200 rubles/m depending on width and profile complexity. Polyurethane pilasters height from 2.0 to 3.2 meters with bases, shafts (smooth or fluted), capitals (Ionic, Corinthian, Composite), cost 15,000-38,000 rubles/piece.

Wooden baseboards made of solid oak height from 120 to 220 mm, profiles classic (cavetto + torus + grooves) or modern (single bevel), with milled ornament or without. Baseboard is planed, sanded, moisture content 8-10%, ready for installation and finishing. Finishing includes natural wood oil, tinting, patination, painting to match wall color. Cost 1,400-2,800 rubles/m depending on height and profile complexity. Painting 800-1,400 rubles/m.

STAVROS design bureau develops fireplace zone projects with 3D visualization, where you see the portal, furniture, moldings, baseboard realistically, understand proportions, colors, how elements combine. The project includes: style selection (Neoclassicism, Baroque, Empire, Art Nouveau), portal selection (size, decor, color), furniture selection (chairs, console, table, chest of drawers), layout of moldings on the wall (panels, pilasters), baseboard selection (height, profile, color), calculation of all materials, estimate with prices, step-by-step implementation plan. Cost of a fireplace zone project 35,000-65,000 rubles, which is deducted from the order cost when placing an order from 500,000 rubles.
