Trending . . . flaming hot and portable

Adding warmth to the home is essential in the early months of the year. The New York Plaza fire by Decoflame is a wall mounted fire which can be hung virtually anywhere in your home. It runs on bioethanol and does not require special installation ventilation or a flue. The deep-framed design comes in white or black powder coated steel, stainless steel, or mirror polished stainless steel (pictured) and comes in three sizes.

The small, pictured, costs about €2,269, ex delivery from London-based Go Modern (00-44-207-7319540 Gomodern.co.uk).

The fire can also be used outdoors but cannot be left out. On warm evenings simply unhook the fire from its interior resting place and hang outdoors. The fire will burn about four litres of fuel in an eight-hour period and has an adjustable flame.

Three of the best ... fresh colours

Warm up your walls by investing in fresh colours with heat at their core such as Copper Blush by Dulux (dulux.ie), one of the new shades wowing interior designers. It looks chalky and adds a spicy background to kitchens when combined with on-trend copper-fronted kitchen units or when teamed with a very matte tomato red. A five litre tin costs €59.99.

Put a spring in the seat of kitchen chairs with a seat pad that adds comfort and colour. The gingham one pictured is available in red, natural and duck egg blue, €8 each. The plain ribbed option comes in primrose yellow, pink and duck egg, €7 each, all Dunnes Stores (01-4751111 dunnesstores.com) home departments.
