Changing the fireplace in my house. Must be electric due to the tv also goin on the wall. Now just unsure which style to have.

Traditional but modern...(hearth and surround etc)

TV going above the fire place?

Id say traditional because they just dont look right when youve got the fire and the TV 'floating' in mid-air on the same wall

top one looks

Because ive read that gas fires give off too much heat and could damage the tv.

I think traditional if TV going above it...

I like TV to be at eye level and would hate having to look up to it on the wall

Right...ive had a good look round and narrowed it down to 2. Both have the same surround i think, just the fires are different. Which do you think.

Allegretto - £926

Sonatina - £830
