More Corner Fireplace Designs...
Bricks & Stones!

Corner fireplace designs are extremely popular today. Due to the current trend in downsizing,  homeowners are seeking ways to make the most efficient  use  of
less square footage. Whether in new construction or retrofitting an existing home,  a  corner  hearth  is  a
great way to maximize the use of a  room's  available space.     In addition,  its placement in the corner in-
creases the visibility of  the  fire  from  virtually  any-
where in the room!

Though available  in  a  vast  array  of materials, the corner fireplace designs featured here are limited to bricks and stones.   Nevertheless,  they reflect a wide range  of  styles  and  configura-
tions,   as  well  as  varying  levels  of craftsmanship and detailing.

For example, the charming design with undulating brick coursing shown in the example at right  is  ideal  for  a  cozy
and casual cottage or cabin.   By com-
parison, the relatively simple rectangu-
lar design with a bed of glass  crystals pictured below, left,  is appropriate for more of a contemorary setting.  Below, right,   the  symmetry,   formality  and meticulous attention to detail make this beautiful brick corner fireplace de-
sign a perfect candidate for a traditionally-styled home.

For a more  rustic  and  rugged  appearance,  the  following  designs  with arched fireboxes are a great complement to a more relaxed lifestyle  --  or even a weekend getaway.     The fieldstone fireplace pictured below,  left, uses stones of varying sizes  and  shapes  to  create  an  imposing  corner design.    The smooth,  rounded contours of the river stones used to craft
the fireplace pictured below,  right,  are enhanced by a rustic  log  mantel shelf that ties it,  aesthetically,  to the log walls of the room.

ored and textured limestone . . . . .
