How far off centre is it? Could you widen it to make it more central? Only alternative would be to replace it I guess, which will involve moving the gas fire too.

Thanks 😊 would that mean I would have to modify the flue ?

HI Sarah I love what you have achieved. Many congrats for embracing what you have and creating something that totally enhances the placement of the fireplace. The space looks like it was made for the placement of that perfect chair and you've done a gorgeous job with your selection and placement of art . I am moving with considerable grief from my gorgeous arts and crafts bungalow to an early1970s small house. I have to say this style of architecture in NZ wasnt exactly a highlight. But I set myself a challange to embrace the architecture and look to enhance rather than fight it . That challenge shifted me off my despair track and now I am excited and hopeful and thinking about space and colour and the amazing light pouring in (a quality of houses of this time)..and textures . i feel so cteative in new and diffetent ways...and it's so exciting. seeing what you have achieved - it is very affirming for me I love what you have created.

I’m not sure what you mean by decorating the fireplace, but I feel lining up the art with the fireplace will work better than in the middle of the chimney breast, as it is now.

I honestly don't think it will be a huge deal to have the fireplace to the side (I'm usually very OCD about having things symetrical) if the fire surround is going also that sortof means it won't be such a huge chunky thing and you could tone it down.. of you brought a wood burner you could get one of those long tall ones and then almost turn that corner into the 'cosy' area- I'm afraid I don't have an image of this but my friend has done it and it looks really good you can still have the sofas boardering the room the whole way round but just have the log burner in the corner

What are the dimensions of the room and how many do you wish to seat for sofas and dining? i assume that’s a hearth to the left of the window? Is there a chimney on the outside of the house? just curious as I’ve never seen a Victorian fireplace in that position before. I’m wondering if the fire was opposite the entrance door, as you’d expect, as you can see some shorter planks in the centre of the room which look like replacements What’s the pipe under the window?

Probably, but you'll need a gas engineer

I have the same issue in our den and have not tackled it yet but I saw the ideal solution on a design show recently. https://ventura.ie/portfolio/cavan-project/

They pulled out the surround and had a large new surround built with a fake wood store to the side to offset the offcentre fireplace.
