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 freely moving 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 ( perfect option for apartments; alcohol is used as fuel).

Pros: the presence of a live flame, tangible heat, the absence of ash and soot, do not require space for storing firewood and special care.

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 finishing 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 fireplace walls 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 of the 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 will 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.
