When a fireplace appears in the living room, the whole arrangement usually revolves around it - we all want to enjoy its warmth. That is why the space around it is so important. The fireplace then becomes the focal point of the living room, around which you should plan the layout of sofas, chaise lounges, and armchairs. Below, we present a few proposals.

Sofas on Two Sides of The Fireplace

One popular layout of furniture by the fireplace is to place the seats on either side of it. This arrangement has many advantages: thanks to the fact that the seats are set in front of each other and the fireplace is on the side, it allows you to feel the heat, but also promotes conversation. For this layout, you can use two sofas that are placed opposite each other or a set of one sofa and two armchairs. Regardless of which option we decide on, it is worth making sure that the whole looks coherent. This effect can be achieved by selecting sofas and armchairs from the same line. In our offer of a multi-element lines you can find Agate, with classic sofas, corner sofas, armchairs, puffs, and chaise lounges. It gives great layout possibilities and allows to create a whole arrangement for the living room on the basis of matching furniture. Returning to the layout, it is worth mentioning that it is convenient when a coffee table is placed between the seats. Preferably one large and one or two smaller ones, so that each of the persons seating people has space for themselves. Such a piece of furniture will allow you to put down a hot drink or a book, without having to get up.

The Corner In Front of The Fireplace

Surely you are familiar with the layout of a room, where a corner sofa stands right in front of the TV. Here, replace the TV with a fireplace and make it the base of your entertainment and relaxation. Such an arrangement allows you to place the corner sofa much closer to the fireplace than it would be in front of the TV. This will also help you feel the heat coming out of it better. This is a perfect furniture layout for the autumn-winter season! If you want to relax with your family and friends in this layout, but the corner sofa does not offer enough space to seat everyone, you can add a pouf to it. Models from the Jade family will prove perfect here. The pouf from this line will be a perfect extension to the corner sofa of the same name.

Armchair or Chaise Longue In Front of the Fireplace

Living room with a fireplace does not always allow you to centrally place sofas or corner sofas, which are large seats, right in front of the source of heat. Sometimes the fireplace is hidden in an alcove or corner of the room. In this case, how to arrange the living room? No problem! You need to create a corner of the fireplace. To arrange it, you will need an armchair or a chaise longue (depending on the amount of space you have), a small auxiliary table and warm, soft textiles. Micadoni offers both right- and left-sided chaise lounges. One of them is the Creo model. This will allow us to perfectly adjust the seat to our needs.

We don't always want to make the fireplace the centerpiece of the living room, but we also don't always have that option. In both cases, this way will be invaluable! In addition, it is ideal for relaxing or reading in the evening, because due to its location, it allows you to feel more intimate than the previous two ways.

Arranging a living room with a fireplace should not only be beautiful, but above all, it should also be safe. Remember to follow all the important rules, which include placing the fireplace at a suitable distance from sofas, armchairs, puffs, chaise lounges and other furnishings. It is assumed that this is 80 cm, but always check what the manufacturer advises.

There should be no flammable items, such as curtains, close to the fire. Take care to keep a safe distance from electronic equipment, as the surface of the fireplace gets very hot, which can be harmful to other devices in the room.

How to Arrange a Living Room With a Fireplace... Without a Fireplace?

Do you live in a block of flats or can't afford a fireplace at home? Arrange a wooden portal in your living room that will imitate a fireplace! This model fireplace can be filled with wood sticks, lanterns or candles, but remember to protect the base from damage. A cozy effect is guaranteed! Another good idea is to place a bio-fireplace in the interior. They are mobile, can be placed anywhere, and are safe as they emit only a small amount of carbon dioxide. However, if you decide on this option, remember to take care of proper ventilation of the room.

As for the rest of the arrangement, build it according to the above-written rules about how to most comfortably place sofas, armchairs, puffs, and chaise lounges around the fireplace, regardless of whether it's real.
