Home design has taken on some favorite new qualities, and corner fireplaces are a perfect fit. Square, boxy, closed-off rooms are out and open spaces with more natural shapes are in. Combine design trends with technological advances that have given fireplace installation much greater practicality and simplicity and what do you get? You get corner fireplaces in a wide range of potential looks, all of which can evoke an added touch of class to your home.
Why a Fireplace for a Home Design Upgrade?
There are many reasons fireplaces have not been left behind, even as trends in home designs break a lot of traditional molds. Fireplaces will never truly go out of style, though there was a brief period when they faded in popularity. Innovative fireplace design has made it possible to enjoy the wonderful aesthetics of fires while also gaining the benefit of a viable supplemental heat source. In the past, traditional fireplaces were the primary option; and they have 10% efficiency, at best. Now fireplaces can be up to 80% efficient or more. The following are a few more reasons fireplaces are in:
· There is something inexplicably romantic about sitting by a fire with your sweetheart.
· If the electricity goes out, your wood or gas fireplace can continue to provide heat, light, and possibly also a way to warm food.
· No matter what type of fuel you use for your fireplace, it is eco-friendly, as long as you have an EPA-approved fireplace with a high efficiency rating.
· You can cut energy costs with a modern fireplace. Simply turn off the central heat and enjoy the warmth from fires.
The Beauty of Corner Fireplaces
Corner fireplaces add a whole new level of coziness as well as class to a room. They simply look amazing, and they change the entire atmosphere in a very positive way. You can get corner fireplaces of all styles and sizes. The selection available today is truly remarkable. Once you take a look at the possibilities, it’s clear that corner fireplaces are must-have features. You can choose from wood, gas, and electric corner fireplaces. With the exception of wood-burning units, corner fireplaces can be installed at any height in a wall. Here are a few specific ideas for installation of a corner fireplace:
· If you’re looking for a way to create an unforgettable kitchen, you may want to choose a corner fireplace that’s small enough to fit in an upper corner cabinet. The fireplace may be small, but the visual impact is huge.
· You may want to have a massive custom entertainment center that is built around and to each side of a corner fireplace, extending on two different walls.
· Place a stunning fireplace in a corner with bookshelves to each side and a mantel extending to both shelves. Finish the overall effect by placing a large television plus subtle entertainment center with a mantel effect in a nearby part of the room where the fireplace would have traditionally been placed.
· A corner fireplace can be the perfect touch for your outdoor kitchen.
· In any space of a home where there’s a corner of any size that isn’t currently a useful space, install a corner fireplace and enjoy the transformation of the room.
