![]() ![]() In this illustration, and all the other illustrations, notice how the arrows go into the spaces. Now look at the first illustrations 1A-C. If you can, try to introduce furniture (corner cabinets, chests, sofa tables, round drop-leaf tables, etc) or decorative elements (folding screens, artificial potted trees, large urns on pedestals, etc) into the corner(s) of the room to cut off the room’s corners as the corner fireplace does. You want to place furniture so sofas talk to chairs, which promotes easy conversation while seated in the room. You want to place your furniture so its angles match / mirror the angle of the fireplace and how it extends out into the room. All or part of your furniture placement should be directed toward the hearth. When it comes to decorating a room with a corner fireplace, I think one, or all three of the following things should be taken into consideration… I know that once you look at the illustrations you will be inspired, and it will be a snap to arrange your furniture and create a space that is a warm and inviting place to be in. I hope that through this post your uncertainties are erased. Having to arrange furniture around it might be a daunting experience for the amateur decorator. One of those different kinds of features is a fireplace in the corner of a room. E.g one sofa parallel to the main wall and one sofa facing the fireplace wall to create an L-shape.Nine different way of arranging furniture around a FOCAL POINT in the corner of a roomĮvery so often a person comes across a house with characteristics that are not common-everyday. But there are two obvious options, either make the corner fireplace the focal point by angling the majority of furniture to the corner or, our preferred option, choose a main wall that adjoins the corner fireplace and angle your furniture towards that, leaving the fireplace side of the room open. Your arrangement will of course depend on the size, shape, and amount of furniture you want to fit in the room. However, we see this lack of rigid format as a blessing and one of the big pluses of having a corner fireplace is that you can often be more flexible with your layout. How do you arrange a room with a corner fireplace?Ĭorner fireplaces are often seen as tricky when deciding on a room's layout as they don't give you that very obvious focal point you get with a more traditional fire. Plus, with these designs, you can skip the expense and hassle of having a traditionally log burner installed. And they are idea for small living rooms, or any small space, as they tuck into a corner without the need for any extra space for the flue. ![]() Bio fireplaces, which have the traditional log burner look but are run on gas, don't need a chimney or a flue so you can add them to any room, perfect for adding instant coziness to your home. Notice anything different about this wood burner? It's flueless. The grey wall, rather than just being painted with a flat matte, has a natural texture to it, designed to imitate polished concrete so it stands out in the room but isn't too much of a stark contrast against the white walls. Now we know we aren't all fans of a feature wall, and they have got a bit of a bad rep in the world of interiors, but in certain circumstances, they can work, and this is one of them. Take inspiration from this Scandi-inspired living room and make the fire more of a focal point by painting the surround in a contrasting color to the rest of the walls. ![]() You still get all the benefits of a roaring fire without the bulk of a more traditional fireplace. Wood burner ideas are also a good option if you have inherited an outdated corner fireplace – strip it down and replace it with a more minimalistic stove. A freestanding stove can work just as well in a corner as a more traditional fireplace and can be tucked into the smallest of spaces so an even better option if you are tight on space. ![]()
