The hearth

The hearth is the flat piece of furniture that sits at the base of a fireplace, designed to protect the floor and wall from heat damage or embers.

These elements are grouped together to create an area of interest that will enhance the appearance of your home more inviting. Suites are a great option for anyone seeking to update their interior and give it a brand new look.
