The basics – fireplace as a feel-good zone and focal point of the living space

A fireplace requires a certain amount of expertise that should not be underestimated. Especially when deciding which fireplace is the right one for your home, you should inform yourself in detail about the different types of fireplaces and how they are used.

General knowledge of fireplaces – flue, emission values & the ecological balance sheet

First of all, you should know that every fireplace needs a flue. Without a flue, also a chimney, a fireplace is not a fireplace. The absolute exception are bioethanol fireplaces, but since these do not cause smoke and therefore do not require a flue, they are strictly speaking not considered a fireplace. The district chimney sweep clarifies what a flue has to look like. He is also responsible for the acceptance of the finished fireplace. If you want to install a chimney in the house you have bought, you must first find out exactly whether a flue was installed during construction. If this is not the case, the whole thing is more difficult than thought and they may have to resort to an outdoor vent.

Tip! Heating system in comparison

Save up to 55% costs (heat energy)? Tip! Not only already, but practically? Save energy with the heating system in your property. Use the next time for renovation or your upcoming new building. Here you will find our guide heating systems: solar, oil, gas, heat pump, pellets in comparison and as extra, state subsidies. Continue reading here:

Fireplace in modern condominium(Berlin):

Fireplace integration country house(Mallorca)

The next question is whether to choose a fireplace with or without a door. This has not only optical differences but is crucial for the functionality of the fireplace. To use a fireplace without a door only for the purpose of the crackling effect is far from modern and should be avoided not only for the protection of the environment but also for your own health. These fireplaces have not only a shocking fine dust emission but also a very bad ecological balance. Because of this, it will no longer be permitted to own a fireplace without a door from 2024. By then, a fireplace must not only have a door and a filter against fine dust, but also proper emission values. This is prescribed by the regulation BImSchV (Federal Immission Control Ordinance). So if you are thinking about a fireplace now, you don’t need to consider a version without a door. Fortunately, there are still great alternatives to not lose the crackling effect.

Fireplace models – a question of taste & functionality

There are many different fireplace models, but when choosing a fireplace, you should not limit yourself to the visual aspect and also consider the different functions of a fireplace. Which fireplace model best suits your property therefore depends on many different factors and your requirements.

Glass fireplace – cosiness factor and campfire atmosphere

Of course, the rule with fireplaces is ‘the more you see of the fire, the higher the cosiness factor’. Therefore, a glass fireplace is a great alternative to a fireplace without a door, as it has almost the same effect. A glass fireplace looks most cosy with three open sides, as this way the fire can not only be seen from every side, but also the cosy light spreads everywhere. Such a glass fireplace is made of special glass in the form of glass ceramic. This gives the same effect as a campfire. There are such fireplaces even without a visible handle on the glass window, which makes the whole thing even cozier. For this, however, the fireplace must be installed in a recessed position.

Hanging fireplace – individual and danger reducing

A hanging fireplace is also an alternative that should not be underestimated. This model originally comes from Scandinavia and offers a great variety, as it is not bound to one corner in the room. The fireplace can be mounted anywhere in the room on a wall and thus also heat all around. In addition, the risk of burns to children and animals is greatly minimized as the fireplace is not hanging within their reach. Firing, stoking and cleaning is also easier with this model, as you don’t have to bend down to the floor, but can work at eye level – you’ll even be spared the backache.

The Danish fireplace – the classic with personalization

The Danish fireplace is the last model that has already established itself as a classic in just a few years. It is the continuation of the ordinary stove and is now available in many variants. It has been equipped with a larger viewing window, which creates more cosiness. It also has a new modern technology, a combustion chamber that increases the efficiency and self-closing doors. A big advantage of this stove is that it is not permanently installed, so it can even be moved. Danish fireplaces are now available for turning, with an additional heating plate, but also some that can be heated with pellets, gas, brown coal or hard coal. An all-rounder that is suitable for every house and can be individually adapted to the needs.

Fireplaces as heating systems – stoves, tiled stoves and gas fireplaces

Of course, you don’t just want to use your fireplace to warm your soul and your living room. A fireplace can be used in many other ways. This includes, among other things, heating the whole house and not just one room. Of course, this includes special pipes, pipes – and energy supply systems.

Pellet stove as a heating system – energy efficient and environmentally conscious

The first way to use your fireplace as a heating system is the pellet stove, in which you heat not with wood but with pellets. Such a fireplace is particularly suitable for energy-saving houses. It is heated with wood pellets which are made from wood waste such as sawdust. They have a much higher efficiency, because they burn longer than the same amount of wood. To heat the whole house with such a fireplace, it must be connected to the hot water supply. The advantage is quite clear that a fireplace with a heating function not only protects the environment, but also the household budget. Unfortunately, the installation of such a fireplace is very costly, which is why the appearance is often neglected and there is only a small window. The coziness falls by the wayside, but it is always nice and warm everywhere and without a guilty conscience. Complementary to such a heating system is a solar system on the roof, which can heat the water in the summer. For such a system, a hot water tank with a minimum capacity of 1000 liters is needed, but it fits well in the basement.

Gas fireplace as a heating system – modern and uncomplicated

But also with a gas fireplace it is possible to heat the whole house and this even offers some advantages. For one thing, the cozy factor is not lost, because the flame can flicker peacefully behind a glass door and delight her heart. Behind the façade, however, there is a sophisticated system of ventilation heating that can be used throughout the entire house. This fireplace is operated with natural gas as well as with propane gas, which may be installed in a liquid cartridge with up to 11 kilograms. According to the manufacturer, this lasts up to 25 hours and provides heat. Another advantage not to be sneezed at, however, is that the fireplace and the air remain clean. There is no soot, the fireplace rarely needs to be cleaned and there is virtually no fine dust. And despite all this, not even the efficiency suffers, because it is at a respectable 70 percent. An alternative that you should definitely think about.

The tiled stove as a heating system

Probably the oldest model among the stoves is the tiled stove. However, its history proves its effectiveness, because it can heat up for between 12 and 24 hours and thus provide cosy warmth. Wood, pellets or even coal are burned here. In the meantime, even windows can be found in the tiled stoves, as the feel-good feeling has simply become too important and consumers can no longer do without it. The efficiency can also be seen, because a tiled stove burns its fuel completely. In addition, tiled stoves have the reputation of being particularly comfortable, as the radiant heat is even and the air layers are not confused by it. So the tiled stove should also be considered if you are looking for a fireplace with heating function for the whole house.

Firewood: Do-it-yourself, chopping & stacking

Firewood & Fireplace Wood Storage – Larger quantities of firewood, are often stored on properties. The garden or a barn are often used for storage. Larger quantities of firewood, once stored on a property, must be stored in a fire protected location. This measure is regularly inspected by a chimney sweep. In this article you will find tips and videos on storing, DIY, stacking and chopping firewood for your fireplace:

Heating guide: types, prices & comparison

Heating & Types – The topic of heating is not only interesting for builders, but also for property owners. After all, heaters are not only necessary in a property, they are also required by law. Which types of heating are there, how do they have to be maintained and are there legal subsidies for the construction of certain types of heating or do the costs have to be paid completely by the owner? Especially when building a house or renovating and modernising, the heating system plays a decisive role, because a large part of the later running costs depend on it, for you or for your tenants.

When deciding on a heating system, a number of things need to be considered, as there are major differences. Depending on the property, it must be decided individually which system is best suited to efficiently heat the entire property. The systems differ not only in environmental friendliness, but also in efficiency and price. Solar, oil, gas, heat pump, pellets:

House sale and discretion – two worlds meet?

Selling a house without making it public – how is that supposed to work? A“discreet broker” knows how to bring the two worlds together. In most cases, maximum discretion also has positive effects on the sales price and the speed with which a property changes hands.

How does a Diskret broker work?

• Discreet realtors from Lukinski sell your house with absolute discretion
• Lukinski’s discreet brokers do without the usual Internet portals for real estate offers
• Diskret-Makler vonLukinski have an extensive prospective customer file
• Lukinski’s discreet brokers often ensure a quicker sale of your property.
• Discreet brokers from Lukinski sell real estate of all types and sizes
• Lukinski’s discreet brokers work even if the seller lives abroad

In the international real estate market, this way of working has long been known and appreciated as a “secret sale”. Sebastian Mathias is one of the few regional estate agents to work with Lukinski as a discreet broker. And this without renouncing the classic virtues of a serious and customer-oriented broker.

Home staging or renovating – what’s the difference?

One thing is quite certain: a top renovated apartment achieves a higher sales price than a property with a renovation backlog. On average, properties with “upmarket fittings” are around 17% more expensive than properties in the same location and size with “normal fittings”. In contrast, apartments with “simple fittings” are a good 14% lower in price than those with “normal fittings”. At least that’s what renowned real estate experts, including Lukinski, say.

This already makes it clear that renovations are not just about painting walls and cleaning windows. Renovations concern basic features of your property such as heating, flooring, electrical installations, windows in general, etc. Before selling your property and possible renovations, everyone should first estimate the costs! Because it usually takes a lot of money to turn a “simple” property into an “upscale” one. More money than can later be achieved through the added value in the sales price. In many cases “homestaging” can be an alternative.

“Simple” – “normal” – “upscale”: What condition is your property in?

Here are briefly some characteristics about the condition of a property:

Selling price: The condition of the property is what counts

Basically, a good and well-kept overall impression of the house and property ensures a good sales price. A good estate agent will give tips on this before an exposé is prepared.

Here are the most important tips from Lukinski:

• If the house has a garden, it should be maintained according to conventional standards
• Avoid squeaky garden gates
• Corridors/staircases should be cleaned
• Ventilate living areas well
• If necessary and possible, provide fresh paint inside
• Worn out floors should be replaced, or covered up

Real estate prices in general: Is there a bubble bursting?

Real estate in Wiesbaden-Schiersteincontinues to achieve top prices! After all, the proportion of detached houses in the district is not particularly high. However, apartment buildings are also sought-after properties in Wiesbaden-Schierstein. In terms of quality of life and recreational value, Schierstein is at the very top of the scale of popular districts in Wiesbaden. Due to the lack of space, the rate of new construction is also not particularly high.

Supply and demand regulate prices. An end to the upward trend is currently still not in sight. But the price increase curve is flattening out and the first experts are warning of a “bursting real estate bubble”. The risks for real estate prices include above all the economic development in the country. And there the “fat years” are probably over for the time being. The high price level for real estate is currently still being maintained by the very low interest rate level.

House sale in times of Corona

It is still too early to name the effects of the Corona crisis on the real estate market. Currently, there are two different positions among real estate experts. Some say that real estate as “concrete gold” still retains its value and continues to increase in value, especially in locations such as Wiesbaden and the surrounding area.

On the other hand, it is said that the value of a property also depends very much on the disposable income of potential buyers. If this income falls, for example against the background of the current crisis, then the demand for real estate falls – and with it the prices. Anyone who wants to be on the safe side should therefore implement their sales plans now.

Conclusion: Now are the times good for selling a house

Whether renovated or not: Basically, the times for the sale of your property in Wiesbaden-Schierstein are currently still favourable. At least in terms of the selling prices that can be achieved. If the economic conditions in Germany worsen, however, a decline in prospective buyers can be expected in the longer term. That means then sometime also falling prices. An initial valuation of your property in Wiesbaden-Schierstein is always non-binding and free of charge with reputable estate agents. Which time is the right one for your house sale, of course, only you decide in the end.

Lamps & Light: Feel good through change

One thing is certain for you: a change is needed. What could be worse than coming home from a hard day at work, lying down on the sofa and still just not getting any rest? Little, because resting after a strenuous period is necessary for the body to gather strength for the next day. Otherwise, it is possible that the whole thing ends in a breakdown or you get sick. To prevent this, it is important to find out what is disturbing your well-being in your own four walls. Is it the placement of the furniture, the wrong wall color or can it be the light that negatively affects the well-being.

Different lamp styles: from retro style to shabby chic

Lamps about lamps, there are the most different designs. Since everyone has different tastes in furnishings, there are also different styles for lamps. You’ve probably noticed it before, the current lamp trend: geometric shapes. You will find the differences not only in whether it is a floor lamp or a ceiling lamp, but also in whether it is a lamp in vintage style or country style. A lamp that hangs in the middle of the room with a lampshade made of petals gives the room a playful, fresh impression and a lamp that is made of glass looks more noble and high quality.

Effect of light colours

If the optics are right, doesn’t the light matter? Absolutely. On the one hand there is the glaring light that reminds you of a sterile doctor’s office and on the other hand a light that slowly gets brighter and brighter, so that you can always get used to it first. Especially when it comes to the bedroom, where you don’t necessarily want to be woken up with bright light in the morning, it makes more sense to use a light bulb that slowly brightens up. This is in complete contrast to the kitchen or the bathroom. When you are in these rooms, you usually want to know what you are doing and are then quite happy to have the light. Think about a lighting concept for each of your rooms, because this is the only way to create the optimal feel-good feeling. Technically, a distinction is made between warm white, neutral white and daylight white. While warm white is perceived as cosy, neutral white conveys a businesslike atmosphere and daylight white is suitable for incident light.

Lamps & Light: Ideas to make yourself

No matter which store you visit, you just can’t find a lamp that meets your expectations? You have already searched every shop in your area and are about to give up? Have you ever thought about building a lamp that ideally meets your expectations yourself? Few people think about it, because many assume that it is simply too difficult. But you are wrong, with good instructions and a little artistic skill you can succeed in building your dream lamp itself. We have selected a few videos for you, which you can either copy or be inspired by.

Designer lamp build yourself

Anyone who sees this lamp usually thinks that it must have been very expensive to purchase. Much less suspected that a layman might be able to make this designer lamp itself. But this is also possible. In this video you will learn step by step how to go about it. If it is then so far and you have found the time and motivation to finish the lamp, it is ideal for the living room or the kitchen. In the living room, the lamp fits perfectly over the dining table because of its elongated shape. In the kitchen, on the other hand, it provides sufficient light over work surfaces.

DIY wire ball lamp

What effect does this lamp have on you when you look at this picture? Most people will answer this question: it looks cosy, warm and calming. This is not without reason, because it spreads a warm white light and not only that, because influenced by the shape and style, most people immediately imagine this lamp in the living room or bedroom. If you are dissatisfied with the light in your living room or bedroom and you would like to make a suitable lamp yourself, then the wire ball lamp could be the right idea for you.

Creative dining table lamp

This creative dining table lamp is just the thing for you if you are looking for a real eye-catcher. Through the old bottles, which are cleverly transformed into lampshades, a cozy warm light results. By making this lamp, not only old objects are used wisely, but a special atmosphere is created. For this reason, this lamp is suitable for the living room. In the living room, one spends a large part of his time, whether to eat or relax on the couch. Even when visitors are expected, most of the time is spent in the living room. This gives the chance that guests can also admire the homemade work.

Changes due to lamps & light

As you can see from the title, it’s not just the lamps in your home that can affect your wellbeing, but also the light. Analyze the light in each room of your apartment or house and check if it is suitable. While bright lights are more suitable for the kitchen or bathroom, “soft” lights are more suitable for the bedroom.

Lamp designs: from vintage to country house

Whether table, chair or cabinet, there are many different variations, so that there is something for every taste. And it is exactly the same with the lamps. One distinguishes not only between floor and ceiling lamp, because there are also various different styles. While one prefers to live in retro style, someone else burns for life in the classic country style. To help you find the right lamp to suit your needs, we’ve picked out the best lamp shops in your area. However, if you have demands that aren’t so easy to meet, you might consider whether building the lamp yourself could be an option. At the very bottom of the article, we’ve put together a few videos that present ideas.

Light colors: Influence your well-being

Not only the design of lamps can influence the well-being, but also different light colors. Technically, a distinction is made between warm white, neutral white and daylight white. While warm white is perceived as cosy, neutral white conveys a businesslike atmosphere and daylight white is suitable for incident light. But which light colour fits best in which room? You should ask yourself this question for each of your rooms. The cosy effect of warm white is often used for the bedroom, neutral white for offices and daylight white for the living room. Now, if you notice that you have a warm white light in the bathroom, then this could be the reason why you don’t wake up properly in the morning. Small changes can therefore make a big difference.

Make your own lamps: Build, Design & Craft

You have already searched various shops, but just can not find the right lamp for your home? Have you ever considered building a lamp exactly according to your wishes? If you have artistic skills, time and patience, then this could be an interesting alternative for you. We have found three videos for you that might inspire you. Maybe you are so enthusiastic about one of the ideas that you will implement it directly.

Macramé lamp

In this video you will be explained piece by piece how to get this great macramé lamp. To start this idea you do not need many materials. Once you have the described knot technique out, the whole thing will go easily by hand. Since this lamp is not one of the more discreet variants, you should be careful that you do not put too many highlights in your living space, so that the overall picture does not look cluttered. The macramé style fits especially well if the interior is provided with green accents, such as small plants.

Vintage lamp

In contrast to the macramé lamp, this vintage lamp looks rather rustic. Also in this video you will be explained step by step how you can make this lamp yourself. For the implementation is more craftsmanship, rather than sensitivity required. If this lamp fits your interior and you have the necessary materials and tools, then you can get started right away. Since the lamp is relatively eye-catching and large, you should present this on large surfaces.

Vintage lamp from old wood

This vintage lamp made of old wood can significantly influence the atmosphere in a room. Since it is not able to completely fill a room with light, but rather emits warm, cozy light, it is especially suitable for the living room or bedroom. If there is enough space in the bathroom, you can also consider creating a cosy atmosphere in the bathroom.
