It's that time of year again when space heaters are a must for some, and well... I'm one of those people. But I don't just want any space heater; I want one that seamlessly blends into my home decor, looks chic, and makes guests a little bit jealous (or maybe a lot).
There are many types of heating systems, but when it comes to space heaters, they're easy to use, they're portable, and if you're lucky enough — you might even find one that is effortlessly stylish, like this PlusMinusZero Ceramic Fan Heater, designed by Japanese product designer, Naoto Fukasawa. It's chic, minimal, and unlike most space heaters that I've seen on the market.
Livingetc's content director, Lucy Searle, is also quite the fan (pun intended). "I like to keep my central heating on really low, and because I work from home and don't get up and move about as much as I should, I get cold at my desk," she tells me. "However, I really resent how ugly most space heaters are, which is why I was delighted to find this one. I really like the brown model, which fits well with the color scheme in my neutral and spice-shades office."

So, what's so great about this ceramic fan heater? Well, for one, it's design feels purposeful. Sculpted and crafted to perfection, Fukasawa's creation captures functionality fashionably.
Interior Designer Nina Lichtenstein from Nina's Home Design also loves how this heater elevates and transforms a space. "When the temperature drops, staying warm becomes a top priority — but why should a space heater disrupt the aesthetic of your home? This ceramic fan heater by Naoto Fukasawa for PlusMinusZero proves that practicality and design can go hand in hand," says Nina. "With its sleek, minimalist profile and thoughtful features, it’s a winter essential that complements any decor."
Nina continues: "This ceramic fan heater is more than just a functional appliance— it’s a seamless addition to your home. Its understated design, available in neutral beige and earthy brown, allows it to blend effortlessly with a variety of interiors. Whether your style leans toward modern minimalism or cozy eclectic, the heater complements rather than competes with your decor."
But what really sets this heater apart from the rest? Nina says it's not just about the way it looks, but its features are what we should be keeping an eye out for, too. "The thoughtful design elements are what truly set this heater apart. It’s compact and lightweight, so you can easily move it between rooms, while its adjustable fan direction ensures warmth exactly where you need it," Nina tells us. "The simple, unobtrusive controls make operation intuitive, and the timer function adds practicality and convenience. This heater doesn’t just keep you warm — it does so with elegance and ease, proving that even the most utilitarian items can enhance your space."
