Previously, fireplaces were used only for practical purposes, which boiled down to heating the room. Now they have become essential element decor, which also has an aesthetic function.

Fireplaces in the interior add coziness and warmth to the home. They can be installed in any premises: in kitchens, in bedrooms. However, the traditional place for the fireplace is the living room. The correct design and combination of the interior of this room with a fireplace is the key to a comfortable and pleasant stay.

Types of fireplaces

Before equipping, you need to familiarize yourself with the types of fireplaces and their features.

1. Electrical

These fireplaces are ideal for apartments in multi-storey buildings. They have many forms and modifications. Most closely approximated to the original. The advantages of electric fireplaces include:

- security;

- ease of maintenance;

- does not provoke garbage in the house, which is associated with laying firewood in a real fireplace;

- not only imitates open fire, but also radiates real warmth.

2. False fireplaces

They are an exact imitation of real fireplaces, matching them in shape and design. However, it does not involve firing open fire. The advantages are:

- the possibility of making a fireplace with your own hands;

- closeness to the original by laying firewood in the fireplace cavity;

- the ability to simulate a flame by installing a mirror on the back wall of the fireplace, in front of which candles are lit;

- undemanding to the construction of the house;

- no need to install a chimney and other paraphernalia.

3. Fireplaces with wood

Fireplaces of this type are installed only in spacious rooms with solid floors. When designing such fireplaces, it is necessary to pay great attention to the decor of the chimney and the portal, as well as provide a place for storing firewood in order to harmoniously combine it with the overall composition.

The advantages boil down to:

- the soothing sounds of crackling wood;

- soft and pleasant light.

4. Gas

The appearance of these fireplaces is similar to wood-burning fireplaces. The difference lies in the lack of space for storing firewood due to the fact that the fuel is gas flowing through the pipes.

5. Corner

Suitable for a living room of a small area, since corner fireplaces are compact in size. And due to the fact that they are located in the corner, they take up little space. These fireplaces are presented in two versions:

- classic wood burning;

- electronic.

2. If the TV is installed in a living room with a fireplace, it must be installed perpendicular to the fireplace wall. Do not hang the TV over a fireplace, as it can break under the influence of high temperatures.

3. Accessories should be selected according to the materials and color of the fireplace.

4. Large mirrors or paintings will look beautiful above the fireplace. You can place boxes, figurines and other little things on the shelves.

Combining kitchen-living rooms with a fireplace is now at the height of fashion: we have prepared a selection of photos that will demonstrate the advantageousness of such a solution. In addition, as in any of our other articles, there are useful tips, recommendations from designers and a bunch of interesting ideas.

Features of the layout

Of course, fireplaces are rarely installed in apartments - you need a special chimney, permission ... And from the point of view of safety, such a decision is very controversial.

But in cottages, summer cottages and villas, they are more and more common. Let's try to figure out some of the subtleties so that the issue of the location of the fireplace does not become a stumbling block.

Like any non-standard layout, this one requires taking into account a number of nuances. Let's take a look at them:

• Decide where the fireplace will be placed... It is optimal to put it on the wall opposite the window or adjacent. It can also be installed against an outer wall or under window openings, but then it will perform its heating functions worse.
• The area of ​​the kitchen-living room with a fireplace should not be too small - preferably, from 20 sq.m. and more.
• Consider how best to arrange furniture around the fireplace to create a comfortable seating area. This applies to armchairs, coffee table or shelving;
• Do not place flammable objects nearby - sometimes an accidental spark is enough to start a fire. So make sure curtains, tablecloths, paper decor, and untreated wood are well spaced.
• If you are afraid of a live fire in the house, pay attention to electric fireplaces - LED panels that simulate a flame.

Have you chosen a real fireplace? It will have to be cleaned regularly - the process is laborious and quite “dusty”. Avoid messy decor and furnishings such as white fur rugs.

Otherwise, there are practically no restrictions: there are many types of fireplaces that look great in different styles registration.

In the interior

If you are somehow confused by the previous advice, we hasten to reassure you: they are advisory in nature. There is always room for certain maneuvers in design.

Here's a good example of a small kitchen-living-dining room with a fake fireplace. The room is small, but it seems very cozy due to the correct arrangement of furniture and selection colors... We recommend Provence: light airy tones and natural materials are surprisingly well combined with an imitation of live fire.

By the way: A fireplace with a TV above it is allowed only if it is electronic. A real hearth won't do. It heats up the wires, which makes them unusable.

V modern style in principle, it is best to use LED panels. It is not necessary to make them oversized - sometimes a narrow strip looks more harmonious. Focus on room configuration and balance.

There are also more traditional options. We liked this interior. An abundance of woody tones, simple shapes ... Cozy and classic design. Line the fireplace with bricks to match the walls. So it will look like their natural continuation.

You don't have to try to create a cohesive whole from the kitchen and dining room. Try a combination with a partially partitioned room. You will have a cozy living room and a functional kitchen.

note: A real wood-burning fireplace is used here, so the partition must be thick enough so that it does not heat up on the other side. Especially if a refrigerator or other Appliances.

An interesting layout of the kitchen-living room in a classic style - there is no obvious zoning. Furniture and household appliances smoothly transition from one area to another, providing a single space. However, thanks to the nuances of color matching, the functional purpose of each part of the room is clear.

The mirror over the fireplace is a traditional technique played out in the interior. In general, when trying to create something like this, do not lose sight of all sorts of details. The candlesticks on the hearth are matched to the TV cabinet, the curtains on the kitchen window are a reflection of the sofa upholstery.

Shades echo, creating a surprisingly harmonious picture, where everything seems appropriate and elegant.

In a two-story private house, it is often in this room that the stairs to the second floor are located. Consider this when drawing up a design project. At the same time, with such a layout, it is better to divide the hall with the kitchen with a symbolic partition. An imitation of a fireplace will fit perfectly on it.

However, to emphasize the integrity of the interior, buy similar furniture - the corner in the kitchen is like a mirror image of the sofa in the living room. Simple, but very effective.

However, the kitchen area combined with the living room can be no less interesting. Especially if you use one of the last modern ideas- four LED screens with fire located around the plasterboard column. Expensive? We don't argue. But the result is also impressive.

It is impossible not to notice that initially the idea of ​​designing a kitchen-living room, decorated with a fireplace, came to us from the USA. Therefore, it is not surprising that we could not ignore it - a kind of classic for such a design.

In addition to the hearth, he brought another useful innovation - working area with a kitchen island. You will appreciate its convenience. In addition, it is able to serve as a kind of border - convenient, practical and fashionable.

Remember safety precautions. V wooden house with live fire you need to be careful. If for some reason you do not plan to install an electric fireplace, think about an island one. Thanks to its design, it prevents sparks and embers from accidentally hitting walls and floors.

Popular chalet-style décor will also benefit from installing a fireplace. Try covering it with a protective screen to prevent small particles of soot from flying onto a light-colored carpet. The appearance will not be lost from this, but it will be much easier to clean.

Large-scale fireplace masonry to the ceiling in such an interior looks amazing. Especially if you lay it up to the ceiling. It is better not to save on this element - the quality of the stone largely determines not only the beauty of the structure, but also its reliability and safety.

Between the kitchen and the living room, so-called eco-fireplaces are often placed - they do not work on wood, but on special fuel. They are not suitable as the main source of heat, but they are much more environmentally friendly than their “authentic” counterparts. Due to the absence of smoke and fumes, they can be easily built into the partition without worrying about a potential fire. In addition, the absence of the need to make a chimney is a weighty argument in their favor.

Are you making a single space, not divided into zones? It makes sense to think about a corner fireplace. Install it so that it can be seen from anywhere in the room. However, we advise you not to forget about our recommendations in the first section, especially if you plan to use it as a heating source.

For the kitchen-living room, it makes sense to “play” with the appearance of the fireplace. Non-standard shapes are typical for him, so give up the usual square masonry... But the drop-shaped black hearth in the center of the room is what you need.

Complement the interior with colorful furniture and brick walls.

Important: Installation of such a fireplace is a difficult undertaking. Therefore, seek help from professional installers. Everything related to live fire is risky, especially if you decide on a non-standard move. Do not try to save money on installation - your safety depends on it.

Lounge-kitchen-dining room in light colors will be especially good if you dilute the palette with several bright shades. Their role can be played by red pillows, living plants or ... a modern metal fireplace. The latter will bring a hi-tech touch to a fairly neutral interior.

Have you ever thought about the fact that the fireplace opening does not have to be filled with wood and fire? Use it not for its intended purpose, but as a decorative element. The idea can hardly be called standard, but it deserves the right to life. These unexpected moves bring any design to life. The main thing is to choose the right filling. For a small kitchen-living room - a great option.

Do not be afraid to experiment with combinations that seem unexpected at first glance. Delicate pastel furnishings and fine finishes will benefit from an anthracite black hearth. This contrast will fill all colors with depth.

By the way: Have you noticed how the firewood is stacked in this photo? They, too, are able to become part of the furnishings, and not consumables. Just find a container that suits your interior style. It is these details that largely determine the beauty of the general appearance.

The Erzats fireplace will look more interesting if you place it in an atypical place. For example, like here. Such a partition between the kitchen and the living room, on the one hand, zones the room, on the other, it does not break it.

If the room is small, then this is the perfect solution. Place there not only a screen with fire, but also an imitation of woodpiles. Thus, the effect of realism is created. We bet your guests will not immediately realize that the flames are completely cold.

If the room is elongated, it is better to select the appropriate shape of the screen. A long electric fireplace here looks much more harmonious than its square counterpart would look.

However, no one suggests limiting ourselves to quadrangles: think for yourself which figure is more suitable for your interior. Fortunately, now you can make anything to order.

Popular now are gas fireplaces that work on the principle of a conventional kitchen stove. If it seems that it is boring and trite, then you are mistaken.

Look at this photo - really mesmerizing. For a kitchen-living room in a modern style, it suits more than well.

As already mentioned, the idea came to us from America, where the hearths were traditionally placed in recreation areas. This is not an immutable rule - who is stopping you from placing a fireplace directly next to the kitchen set?

This move is somewhat reminiscent of an old estate, even in the Art Nouveau style.

Are you planning to use Scandinavian motives in your design project? Also, do not refuse to install a fireplace. Firstly, it is quite consistent with the basic stylistic principles. Secondly, it looks completely different in a not too familiar frame.

Try this option. Of course, soot and fumes will turn white care brickwork into a rather laborious process. Buy an eco-fireplace or imitation, then the problem will disappear by itself. But the result looks really impressive.

Art Deco decoration is quite capricious in itself, especially if you plan to add high-tech elements. For example, a modern TV set on a tall cabinet. But what if you turn the stand into an almost real fireplace? To do this, you only need three electronic panels showing live fire.

Not so difficult if you forget about the financial side of the issue. Although, we think, there is no need to remind you that any fireplace will cost you dearly.

Yes, if you decide to install a fireplace in your home, then a lot of work is waiting for you: design development, how to fit it into the interior, laying out the chimney and the hearth itself, exterior decoration etc.

However, it is easy to forget about all this if you look at the photo of the living room combined with the kitchen, with a real or not quite fireplace - an original and peculiar addition to any design.

When winter evenings come, many people want to wrap themselves in a blanket and sit by the fireplace. This will help you relax after a hard day and lift your spirits. If earlier it was placed due to the need for heating, now it has become a full-fledged part of the interior. You should not forget about the benefits. After all, it is an additional source of heat. The fireplace in the living room interior looks organic. With the right location, the room will look cozy and warm.

Such a fireplace will definitely not be left without attention.

In a private house, a fireplace would be a great idea.

Where to place the fireplace

One of the key questions. It is necessary to choose the most appropriate place to make the most of its efficiency. The winning options are presented in the table.

Location	Description
In the center of the room	This location is ideal for heating. From the center, the heated air will be evenly distributed around the entire perimeter. But this location is not convenient. To arrange a fireplace, you will have to invite a designer.
	If aesthetics is a key parameter, this is the most advantageous location. This will negatively affect functionality. The room will warm up unevenly. Some of the heat will go to neighboring rooms, which will further reduce heating.
Near the outer wall	Not only the house, but also the street will begin to heat up. The chimney can be placed only after the facade has been insulated from the outside. But this placement increases comfort due to the movement of already heated air on the floor. Install further away from windows.
Near the inner wall	This will save space. This is achieved due to the ability to hide the chimney and the back of the product during inner wall... Accommodation has a negative effect on heating. The heat will not come in the maximum amount.

Fireplace in the living room - styles and interior design options

The interior design of a living room with a fireplace must be chosen carefully. It is important to combine the product model with the style of the room.

1. Classic. Restraint or flashy luxury. The front of the fireplace is made of wood or stone. There is no extra decor. Place a mirror, painting or lamp over the product.
2. Country. Mainly used in country houses... When placing a fireplace, it is recommended that the main emphasis be made on the fact that the model is massive and protrudes from the wall. Plus if the mantel is to be laid with rough and uneven lines. Supplement the room with hunting trophies, weapons.
3. Modern. Recommended for a square living room. Place the fireplace in a corner or along one of the walls. It is worth using designs with irregular lines;
4. Baroque. Choose a piece with a curvy, pretentious and quirky shape.

If you plan to install a TV, a place that is perpendicular to the wall where the fireplace is located is suitable.

Classic style in the execution of the fireplace

Video: Living room design with fireplace

Corner fireplaces vary in shape, model, size, material. In modern society, they are used as much as possible in houses and apartments. Corner fireplaces are very technological, simple and comfortable. Fireplaces angular shape compact, take up little space, ideal for living rooms of apartments. This source of "living warmth" emphasizes the good taste of the owners, the sophistication of the interior, the value of traditions.

Varieties and features of corner fireplaces

Corner fireplaces differ in technology, purpose and stylistic design.

Depending on the number of directions of radiation, fireplaces are:

• massive unidirectional (have one flame direction and one triangular cross-section, suitable for use in large living rooms);
• bidirectional rectangular (intended for small living rooms, have truncated shelves);
• three-directional (they work on the principle of a fire, therefore, due to uneven heat distribution, they are rarely used).

Advice: do not place the fireplace in the corner near the entrance to the room, so that it does not interfere with free movement around the apartment.

According to the types of fuel used, corner fireplaces are divided into:

• electric fireplaces (a great option for apartments; despite the fact that they are used exclusively for the interior, imitating live fire and crackling firewood, they have become practical and more and more often the owners are installing them in living rooms). They are convenient, easy to operate, inexpensive, and permit-free to install.

• bio fireplaces (ideal for apartments; alcohol is used as fuel). Advantages: suitable for decoration, do not contain soot and soot, economical when installing ventilation and chimney, environmentally friendly, humidify the air, do not require installation permits, are used as a means of aromatherapy. Cons: high cost of fuel, smell, significant amount of fuel consumption (on average for 2 hours 1 liter), less safe.

• gas (occupy the middle position between wood and electric fireplaces). Pros: the presence of a live flame, tangible heat, no ash and soot, do not require space for storing firewood and special care. Cons: the cost of installing the chimney, obtaining permission to install and the complexity of the connection in apartments.

• wood-burning (classic version modern fireplace, which has retained its popularity). Pros: live fire, crackling effect of wood, the possibility of heating not only with wood, but also with coal, pallets, peat. Ideal for the private sector and summer cottages. Cons: the lack of the ability to use in apartments, the complexity of the installation.

Fireplace as a source of heat

Previously, fireplaces were intended exclusively for heating the house. Soon, this heating option required constant monitoring, an official permit for operation, and significant timber reserves.

Considering the fact that the heat dissipation of the fireplace was only 15-20%, this heating source began to be used more often as an additional source of heat, less often as an element of decoration “for the soul”.

Among the advantages of corner fireplaces, it is worth highlighting:

• compactness;
• high view of the flame of fire;
• warmth of the room;
• increased security;
• creativity;
• variety of design;
• profitability.

One of the simplest is to design a living room with a corner fireplace. More expensive interior with a decorative electric fireplace. Therefore, if you want to create a unique interior at a minimal cost, give preference to a gas corner fireplace.

Types of corner fireplaces

Corner fireplaces are divided into:

Asymmetrical (act as an element of zoning the space of the room). They are good because they allow you not to divide the living room into conditional zones using partitions, furniture, and specific wall decoration. The presence of an angular asymmetric allows you to create a harmonious stylish interior without violating the integrity of the space.

Advice: do not single out the corner fireplace from the items of the general interior of the room if you want to preserve the harmony of design ideas.

Depending on the construction and design, it will easily fit into any style of living room. Wide choose facing materials for decorating fireplaces completes the interior. In addition, asymmetrical fireplaces are easy to use and easy to install. They are carried out at the request of the client with both closed and open fireboxes. Easy to install in the living room.

Symmetrical (symmetry serves as their constructive basis). The design of these types of fireplaces provides for the presence of free space in the room due to placement in the corner. At the same time, the interior emphasizes the fireplace as the central element of the style composition. The view of the fireplace should be clearly visible from anywhere in the room. Furniture, decorations, TV should be placed on the opposite side. These fireplaces perfectly heat the room. They can be performed in a variety of designs.

Finishing corner fireplaces

After the completion of the technical points, the surface of the walls of the fireplace is treated with special means for better heat transfer and waterproofing of the living room. Next, an aesthetic look is created.

The material for decoration must be selected in accordance with the design of the room: it must emphasize the sophistication of the interior, the taste of the owners and the favorable location corner fireplace... The most common are brick and drywall.

Among the methods of decorating fireplaces are known:

• without a certain finish (if the brick is beautiful, of good quality, well processed to fix the color and the seams are neat). Disadvantage - it may darken over time;
• plastering (applying the mixture to the dried masonry after shrinking the fireplace in order to protect it with emulsion paint);
• tiles (a creative option providing a variety of colors);
• cladding with marble slabs or stone (they look very presentable).

The original finishes can be seen in the photo.

Facing materials for the manufacture of fireplaces

It is believed that corner fireplaces made of cast, mirrored brickwork or tiles are durable, stylish and durable. In fact, it does not matter in what style the model of the fireplace is made, because the unifying elements of all types of fireplaces without exception are grates or dampers, a hearth, fireplace shelves, a portal.

When choosing a fireplace design style, look at the photo in advance to take into account all the design nuances. Wide spacious rooms simply need to be displayed in interiors of such styles as Baroque or Rococo with a unique design of the fireplace portal.

For small apartments it would be appropriate to design in the style of minimalism with a predominance of decorating items from modern building materials (for example, glass, steel, ceramics) in the interior. It is more rational to install a built-in biofireplace or a wall-mounted electric fireplace in the apartment. Optionally, you can create a design with a fireplace located separately from other interior items.

For those wishing to install a fireplace in the living room of a summer cottage or a private house, we recommend giving preference to the country style, which will originally emphasize the overall interior of the room and create an old cozy atmosphere.

It is welcomed in the interior of the living room with a corner fireplace and Art Nouveau style, because its feature is the combination of any interior details.

Rules for installing corner fireplaces in the living room

Fireplace installation procedure:

1. Draft drawing indicating dimensions, materials, technical features.
2. Preparation of the base.
3. Chimney arrangement.
4. Installation of a corner fireplace.
5. Decorative finishing of the fireplace.

Advice: do not install a chimney without special education. Keep in mind that the installation of gas and wood fireplaces will have to be coordinated with local authorities.

Finishing options can be different: metal, with a cast-iron classic flap and without any specific finishing with stone or brickwork in the design.

A variety of finishing materials are suitable for plastering. Corner fireplaces are suitable for any interior.

Safety in the interior of the living room with corner fireplaces comes first. As a precaution, it is worth choosing a convenient place for their location and making a high-quality base.

Choose a place to place a fireplace with extreme care. The option is considered ideal when the fireplace is not located between the door and the window. Safe operation of fireplaces is possible provided that there are no drafts and with a constant air flow. Otherwise, there is a high probability of sparks and fire.

When preparing the base, it is important to consider its ratio to the weight of the fireplace itself. The foundation must be very strong, otherwise crackling of a corner fireplace in the interior of a stylish living room or distortions are possible, which excludes its safe use. It is recommended to pre-play it safe and make the fireplace stable due to the strength of the foundation (in more detail in the photo). The area in front of the corner fireplace insert must be laid out with non-combustible material.
