An L-shaped corner fireplace designs generally follows the walls, such as where a partial dividing wall intersects a living room and dining area. In some instances the long part of the “L” faces into one room and the short end faces into another. Decorating an L-shaped fireplace allows you to design this key area of the home with confidence. Fireplace decorating has moved toward simple touches, such as one item or a group of three items on a mantel instead of an array of things on the mantel and hearth, although there remains room for eclectic and object-laden decorating styles. Certain styles of L-shaped corner fireplaces don’t have a mantel or a hearth. Modern designs that are flush against the wall can be set off by wall treatments and an accent piece on the floor. Showcase it by working with color, textures and shapes Instead of a traditional framed painting or mirror over the fireplace.
Corner fireplaces designs can be done by painting the walls that meet in the fireplace’s corner two different colors sets off the L-shape. Use the asymmetrical shape as an asset. You might pair a neutral color with a jewel tone such as sapphire, garnet or emerald, or create contrast with one light wall and one dark wall. A special wall treatment such as a glazed mural or Venetian plaster highlights any style of an L-shaped fireplace. Venetian plaster is a textured wall treatment that is polished with a trowel to catch the light and gleam. Alternatively, textured wall treatment above each section of the “L” sets off the fireplace with a modern look that doesn’t require additional decoration.
Adding conventional elements to an L-shaped fireplace can create an effect that hearkens back to earlier eras of corner fireplaces designs. You might mount a marble shelf over each side of the “L” to serve as a mantel if the fireplace doesn’t have one.
