Fireplaces Design Dilemma Living Rooms

Large chimney breast /fireplace design ideas

6 years ago

Any ideas for what to do with my large chimney breast? Purchased the flat 6 months ago and the 'fire area' is off centre (but solid wall to the left of it) and the wall light will be being removed!

I was thinking of a large statement mirror but any other ideas welcome?

Is it possible to open up the space inside? Maybe create a feature wall like this, but not as expensive as marble!

If its essentially redundant i would remove it to free up the space and have your stove freestanding. Ours is freestanding on a tiled hearth and looks great and the extra space really does make a difference.

Hi. I must admit this isn't something I would probably do myself as it may close the room in. However, I would go for a low wide fire so the tv can be hung low otherwise it may be uncomfortable to watch. Build a recess for the tv and use a textured wallpaper etc to make that the focal point (I would normally say something really dark to disguise the tv but it will bring the ŵall in if you did that). I'd go for handless cupboards to keep with the contemporary feel but also so it's less busy. I would have shelves above to retain a feeling of openness or mix and match open and covered as in pic 3. Move the mirror (or buy another large one) to the ŵall opposite the window as it is increasing the feeling of space. I can't find great pics so they're a hybrid of suggestions! Another option is to have an off centre fire closest to the window so the fire isn't obscured by the sofa.

Had you considered a wall mural to give distance rather than an overpowering colour shape?

Logi, do you have to comment on every post, even if they aren't asking about anything to do with your product. I have just looked at all the latest posts and you have commented on every one. This one is asking about stone and you are trying to flog a bit of metal. Was your marketing brief..."how to alienate potential customers and drive them away"?
