When you’re looking at installing a fireplace in your home, the living room might be your first choice. While it’s the classic space for a fireplace for a reason, don’t discount other areas of your home where a fireplace can add warmth and ambiance. If your abode is on the humble side, there’s no need to hold out for a larger space to make your fireplace dreams come true. Fireplaces come in all shapes and sizes to fit small spaces, including apartments! In this article we’re going to explore some small but mighty fireplace options.
Fireplaces belong in any room you want them in. The Solas Twenty6 is a compact wall mounted gas fireplace with a direct vent. This fireplace was designed with easy installation in mind, and can be installed on an exterior or interior wall. Our fireplace experts recently installed this gorgeous piece on a bathroom wall, facing a stand alone tub. Not only does this make excellent use of wall space, it also adds a level of luxury and comfort to a room you wouldn’t expect to find a fireplace.
Vertical options continue to be a fantastic choice when assessing where a fireplace will fit in a smaller home. The Napoleon Allure™ Vertical 32 Electric Fireplace is a stunning option that will add ambience to every space. Electric fireplaces are a fantastic option for apartments or smaller spaces, because they don’t have the clearance or venting requirements that come with gas or wood fireplaces. Not only does this piece come with adjustable accents that will enable it to mesh with your existing decor, it also has a heat or no heat setting. This handy setting means you can have all the benefits of a fireplace with none of the warmth to enjoy your fireplace even on warm summer nights.
When thinking about a fireplace install, you may immediately start looking for an expanse of wall space that will fit a fireplace with a surround, a mantel, and a chimney. When space is tight, a more unique option can be the best answer. This sleek and modern Jøtul GF 370 is a great option for small rooms and apartments, as it spans less than 19 inches at its widest part. Not only will this stove fit physically in your space, but with media options including traditional logs to river rocks and black glass, it will fit perfectly with any decor style as well.
Have a little extra space but want your fireplace to function as more than just a fireplace? The Napoleon ‘The Hayworth’ Electric Fireplace Media Console does double duty as both a fireplace and a console table. You can hide wires and gaming consoles in its convenient cubbies, and get all the components of a fireplace including adjustable flame speed and brightness. This two-in-one piece is a great piece for apartments, where every piece of furniture needs to add value to your small space.
Whether you want a fireplace to fit your apartment or you simply want to add extra ambiance to an unexpected area of your home, there is an option that will work for you.
