The Right Corner Fireplace
Do you have a corner in your home that would be perfect for a corner fireplace? Whether a fireplace is installed on an inside corner or an outside corner, a corner fireplace adds drama to your interior design. A corner fireplace automatically makes a room asymmetrical; asymmetrical rooms are known for generating excitement and a sense of the unusual.
If you have an L-shaped living-dining area, you have the perfect outside corner for a fireplace. Imagine a two-sided fireplace where one side faced your living room and the other side faced your dining room. Only luxury dining rooms have fireplaces; yet a corner fireplace is a great and easy way to get two fireplaces for the price of one.
Surround Material
Homeowners today have more choices for fireplace surrounds than at any other time. Some people prefer the timeless, formal look of polished stone, while others like the rustic appeal of natural slate, limestone, or travertine. Custom ceramic tile opens up endless possibilities in virtually unlimited colors and pattern combinations. And the old favorite, brick, is still as sought after today as it has been through the decades.
The Mantel
Having a corner fireplace gives you a unique opportunity to design a wraparound corner mantel. A mantel of wood set on a stone or brick surround is one of the classic looks that never goes out of style.
Some of the most popular corner fireplaces on the market today are also some of the highest priced. Paying a few more dollars gets you a lot more in quality so it is a great value. Some of the top selling models are detailed below.
