Buying Guide

A fireplace can still be the feature of a room if it's in the corner, but it can also take a back seat and not be too prominent if you don't want it to be. There are various designs that you will see when looking for a corner fireplace for your living room. Natural gas fireplaces are becoming more and more common within households, so let's have a look at what's out there for you.

What are the best designs of natural gas corner fireplace and how to style with them?

Brick fireplace

If the décor of your home is already quite natural or you have the indoor brick style in your living room, a corner brick fireplace is the ideal way to keep it subtle while heating your home and brightening up the room. With natural bricks extending all the wall up the corner of the room, your fireplace can be a dark color such as black or copper so that it blends in and doesn't stand out too much. People will still notice the fireplace, especially when it's burning, but you won't need to feel like it's the center of attention in the living room.

White fireplace

Many homes have white walls, so a white fireplace will slot nicely into the corner of the living room. This looks superbly elegant and will blend in with your existing décor while looking classy and beautiful. You may prefer a basic white look, or you can choose a white marble effect fireplace if you want to add some extra interest.

Tall corner fire

While fireplaces are traditionally not positioned above any existing furniture, you can opt for a modern corner fireplace which fits neatly half way up the wall. This allows you to have furniture above and below the fireplace should you wish, embedding the piece even further into your household. A cast iron cover is a popular choice for natural gas fires, bringing a traditional design to a modern idea.

Freestanding fireplace

What better way to make your living room look modern and use up the corner space than by installing a free standing fireplace? This type of fireplace is only suitable as long as it's been correctly installed and you have it linked up to your chimney where necessary. A stand alone fire won't be embedding within the walls of the room, but you will still have to have it installed within the home properly. These fireplaces are often designed using concrete or cast iron, and may be curved or twisted in shape to allow it to easily slot into a corner.

Modern glass fireplace

A long horizontal fireplace or a small glass fireplace with no frame is a good example of the modern designs which are available now. A similar design is the same but without the glass, thus allowing you to access the fire easily. However, be careful if you have children in your home as you will also need to shop for a fire guard in order to prevent any unfortunate accidents.
