Corner Fireplace

A corner fireplace is designed specifically to fit into the corner junction of two walls, making efficient use of space that is often underutilized while creating an unexpected and eye-catching focal point. The angled or curved front face of a corner fireplace directs warmth and visual attention diagonally into the room, which can energize furniture arrangements and create more dynamic living spaces. This configuration is particularly valuable in smaller rooms where a standard wall fireplace would consume too much linear wall space. Corner fireplaces have a long architectural history, appearing in Scandinavian kakelugn tile stoves, French provincial corner hearths, and American colonial cooking fireplaces. Modern corner fireplaces are available in gas, electric, and wood-burning versions with designs ranging from traditional raised hearth models to contemporary flush-mount linear units. The triangular space behind a corner fireplace can accommodate venting and mechanical components, simplifying installation while maintaining clean room-facing surfaces.
