Living rooms often serve as the central hub of our homes, but an awkwardly arranged space with a fireplace can present unique design challenges. However, with some inventive ideas and planning, you can transform this hurdle into an amazing and practical living area.
Highlight the Fireplace as a Key Feature

Some ideas to consider:

Choose Furniture That Does Multiple Things
Go for furniture that does more than one thing, like ottomans with storage or coffee tables that can change shape. I’ve seen these kinds of items save space and make a room more useful.
A few suggestions:
- Storage Footrest: Make the most of your space with a storage footrest, which is great for secretly storing magazines and covers.
- Changing Center Table: Make your space more useful with a changing center table, which gives you extra storage and a surface that can do different things.

Think about adding shelves that are built in around your fireplace for a smooth look. This really made a difference in my last project, adding both style and storage.
