When creating a cozy atmosphere becomes the top priority, nothing can bring warmth to a room more than a beautiful fireplace-either metaphorically or literally-but when do you consider the idea of ​​a corner fireplace?

Maybe your wall space is a bit insufficient, or you want to make the most of an unused corner. Maybe you have installed one of your favorite fireplace ideas, but want to create a corner as a secondary focal point. 

Or maybe you just want to try something different. No matter what your reason is, one thing is for sure, you won't "consider" for too long-our shortlist of fashion design will immediately inspire inspiration.

So you decide you want a corner fireplace. Next question. Can I have one? Basically, the answer is yes. Interior designer Christina Carleton said: "Nowadays, there are many choices. You are no longer restricted by traditional requirements. Anyone can have a corner fireplace." This is good news.

Contrasting colored tiles are a great way to highlight corner fireplaces. We like these black subway tiles lining the stove and the exquisite and elegant white mantelpiece to create a classic and modern fireplace look. A pair of candlesticks create a sense of symmetry and emit a warm glow when opened-in warm days, when you want a comfortable feeling but may not want to burn a raging flame, this is very convenient! The space was designed by Becca Interiors and photographed by Rikki Snyder.

In larger rooms, you can increase the proportion of the corner fireplace without risking the space overwhelming. This impressive design gains height in the form of a sleek white panel, topped by an oversized mantel made of recycled wood. Raising the fire box a little bit is also a good idea; for those who are chilling on the sofa, it makes the flickering flame reach eye-level...a more comfortable visual effect than a TV, don’t you agree?

Corner fireplaces can sometimes feel a little imposing, but if this is what you are after, there are some ways to create more subtle effects. Hilary Quinn, owner of Grace Oak Designs, said: “Try to use less bold tiles, stones or bricks and keep the wall paint light in color so that the space will appear bigger.” 'The painted white bricks provide texture and visual interest without overwhelming the space. You can also try to replace the mantelpiece with something stylish and low-key—think clean lines and natural materials.

This ingenious corner fireplace design was designed by Arbor & Co., with an off-center three-sided stove, creating the illusion of a long flat wall, making the room feel more spacious... and the additional benefit is that you can see the flickering Flames from all angles. Leather sofas, textured textiles and cheerful indoor plants bring warmth to the black painted brick wall at the back, creating a perfect combination of industrial and domestic atmosphere. we love!

In addition to the obvious heating advantages, the corner fireplace essentially creates a "fifth wall" in the room, which is very useful, as this design by Christina Carleton shows; "The family living in this house likes to spend the night Get together, but the eye-catching high ceilings, tiled floors and large windows and doors make it difficult to warm their living room during the winter months, and there is no obvious place for the TV. By installing a corner fireplace, we also get A well-made TV stand. It also does not require a lot of construction work; “We used a ventless natural gas insert that does not require chimneys or structural changes,” Christina said. I’m glad to know!

Consider what materials you want to incorporate into your corner fireplace-for example, wood panelling is a great choice for covering large spaces, while patterned tiles are interesting. Here, both have been well utilized. The high ceiling is made more prominent by extending the panelling all the way to the ceiling, while the eye-catching tiles attract the eye-we like the way we use fireplace tile colors on the soft furniture and walls, adding a cohesive compromise to other aspects.

We all want to bring the outside in, but obviously now everything is bringing the inside out... Creating a living room on your balcony is all the rage, with an outdoor corner fireplace! dramatic? Maybe, but they have become very popular in the design world;'We like to think of outdoor spaces as an extension of writers; they should be both comfortable and practical, nothing is more comfortable than a fireplace,'" Laura U Design Collective founder and chief Executive designer Laura Umansky said. Important note-make sure your fireplace is covered so that you can enjoy it regardless of the weather!

You don't necessarily need a corner to create a "corner" fireplace in your living room...you can create your own fireplace with a little architectural inspiration. This stunning design has a futuristic feel with its bold triangles and smooth tile finishes. There is no more comfortable and cool living room idea.

Natural stone is inherently attractive and comfortable, and the corner fireplace is the perfect way to integrate it into the room. We like the mix of rustic and modern in this fashion scheme created by Mindy Gayer and photographed by Vanessa Lentine, where the smallest mantel allows the stone to speak, and the dark tones, Natural textures and beautiful greenery all suggest outdoor activities.

Independent corner stoves or wood-burning stoves can be as comfortable as traditional corner fireplaces. If your room is a little short, this is a good space-saving option; they don’t need to be surrounded, so they can be stuffed into the smallest corners. Designer Regan Baker showed how they can work well in large modern spaces;'We wanted to highlight the fireplace as a central feature, so we designed a base for it and lifted it from the floor. Now when you sit on the sofa, you can see the flames in the fire and feel comfortable and warm," she said.

Don't beat the cleverly tiled corner fireplace before you try, that's what we call it. This eye-catching design proves that it can be done in an exquisite and delicate way that is not overly intense. Designer Samantha Blake said: "We chose Tabarka Studio's abstract wave concrete tiles, which combine with the retro feel of the room, but also bring a modern feel."

In addition to stunning design features, double-sided corner fireplaces are a great way to break open living room spaces, but they can be huge. Very big. And it's expensive. This modern design provides a similar effect through the square sitting in the corner and the glass on both sides, creating a wonderful sense of continuity between the two rooms. Putting the mirror on top will give people a "perspective" impression, thereby increasing the illusion.

If you are fortunate enough to have an existing brick wall corner fireplace, you may only need to update it to make the new and the old work in perfect harmony. “It’s perfectly fine to paint on bricks; Daniel Morris, the founder of Fire & Saw, says that you just need to use a high-quality pigmented sealant first, and then apply a heat-resistant paint of your favorite color-black or white always looks great It also doesn’t require expensive or hard work;'Painting bricks is actually simpler than walls, they are more forgiving. Be sure to use high-quality brushes, it will also make the work easier and more enjoyable.” You can also try to decorate the fireplace , In order to achieve achievable DIY, which brings impressive results.

It depends on which style of corner fireplace you want to use. Some are located at a 45-degree angle in the corner of the room. "The disadvantage of this type of corner fireplace is that you will lose a lot of walls on both sides of the corner you choose, resulting in a smaller overall space," said Claire Beard, founder of Claire Lynn House. You also need to consider fire safety when positioning, which will also increase your space requirements;'The fireplace should be at least 36 inches away from any unprotected combustible wall. Josh Mitch, founder of AirConditionerLab, said that if they do have a protective layer, they can be reduced to 12 inches. 

If your room allows, a more modern box design is a space-saving option. They can be placed squarely on the corners of the wall and usually have glass sides to create the illusion of extra space.
