Small Living Room Fireplace Ideas — 11 Ways to Add This Architectural Feature Without Leaving Your Space Feeling Cramped

Smaller living room with fireplace on diagonal wall, sofa, coffee table stacked with books, and timber accent chair .

And lastly, there's the decorating ideas, because it's important to make sure the fireplace fits seamlessly with the overall look of your space.
