Corner Fireplace Design Ideas...
ROCK SOLID!

The corner fireplace design ideas featured here are  --  quite literally  -- "solid as a rock." Crafted from a wide array of stone types, colors, textures and finishes, the designs range from traditional to contemporary in style.

The positioning of the corner hearths varies, as well.  For example, the tra-
ditional design pictured below, left, is placed  at  a  forty-five degree angle across the corner of the room.     On
the  other  hand,  the  contemporary design pictured below,  right,  is  per-
pendicular to the outside wall.

Similarly,  the river stone corner fireplace design  pictured  below,  left,  is placed at a forty-five degree angle and features a single plane or "straight across" facade.     Conversely,  the fieldstone design on the right features multiple planes, including the recessed area above the log mantel shelf.

The Great Room fireplace that follows is, once again, positioned at a forty-
five degree angle across the corner.     However,  rather than a "flat front" that  simply  dives  into the wall on either side, or is canted backward at a right angle on either side,  the stone work cants backward and outward at another forty-five degree angle on either side of the wood mantel shelf  -- giving it more of a hand-tailored look.   This technique also provides an ex-
cellent solution when there is a limited amount of  space  within  which  to work.    In this particular example, the space is restricted due to the close proximity of the windows flanking the fireplace.

If you're aiming for a more formal look, the  corner fireplace design ideas   at right  and  below may work better for you.   Pictured at right is a highly pol-
ished cast stone surround set against a  backdrop  of  richly  finished wood paneling.      Below,  a  highly  formal, smoothly  finished  stone  mantel and "overmantel"  is placed against a wide arc  of  randomly  cut and assembled stones with a textured finish.      The
end result?  A striking juxtaposition of both  formal  and casual architectural elements,  giving  the  room  a  some-
what laid-back look  --  but  with  an understated formality and elegance.

The versatility in configuration and placement makes a corner fireplace de-
sign ideal for rooms where space is often at a premium.  Each of the kitch-
en designs pictured below effectively incorporates a corner fireplace within the contraints of its available space.

Similarly,  the upper floor bedrooms pictured at right and below feature
a neatly tucked-in fireplace just be-
neath  the  roofline  where  the dor-
mer begins to project from the roof.

And  finally,  the  Great Room pictured below features a striking corner fire-
place design placed at a forty-five degree angle across the corner.     And, once  again,  the  fireplace  is  effectively  positioned  within  the available space by canting the sides backward and outward.
