20 Appealing Corner Fireplace in the Living Room

A fireplace is an architectural structure designed to contain a fire. Fireplaces are used at the present time mostly for the relaxing ambiance they create. Historically they were used for the practical purposes of heating, cooking, and heating water for laundry and domestic uses.

Fireplaces have variable heat efficiency. Organizations like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Washington Department of Ecology warn that, according to various studies, fireplaces can pose a significant health risk. The EPA writes “Smoke may smell good, but it’s not good for you.” Check out the pictures of fireplaces below.

Flanked by dual bookcases, this corner fireplace vies for attention with a flat-screen television. But because it sits on a pedestal and upholds a beautiful mirrored panel, it’s a winner each time.

KannCept Design, Inc.

Try something as simple as adding a colorful tray to the center of your coffee table or ottoman. I love the colors of the Lacquer Wood trays at West Elm. For large coffee tables, get two to place side by side.

Like the stone all the way to the ceiling, but no mantle? Kind of interesting, don’t you think?

Have a corner in your home that just seems like wasted space? Do what was done here – build out a fireplace from one wall to the other.

two focal points

Laura Burton Interiors

Sometimes the best way to deal with these two focal points is to separate them. This design makes great use of an angled wall while still making it easy to enjoy the fireplace and the TV at the same time.

Modern and airy family room with nail head accents and rich grey and pale blue palette, accents of persimmon.

larger firebox

I really like the way this looks. I’d prefer a larger firebox, a raised hearth and travertine.

I like the way they’ve done the fireplace but also the room set up.

Fire pits developed into raised hearths in buildings, but venting smoke depended on open windows or holes in roofs. The medieval great hall typically had a centrally located hearth, where an open fire burned with the smoke rising to the vent in the roof. There are different ways to position a fireplace in the living room which depends on the size and shape of your space.
