The white fireplace, along with sand-colored walls and plenty of natural light from multiple windows, creates a calm and serene feel in this bedroom.

A corner fireplace surrounded by plaster-finished walls adds to this rustic bedroom's old-world charm. The placement of this two-sided fireplace creates a cozy reading nook along with a plush armchair and a small wood side table that ties in the stunning wood beams and ceiling. A corner fireplace also saves space since it doesn't take up an entire wall. Instead, it's tucked into a corner that might otherwise go unused and projects heat and light in multiple directions.

If you live in an older or historic home, you might be lucky enough to have a fireplace that's original to the building. Embrace the charm by decorating the room around the fireplace's original architectural features. This bedroom features an elegant window alcove and detailed millwork in the form of crown molding and wainscoting that emphasize the stunning marble fireplace. An ornately carved mantel gives the space charm and character that contrasts a modern piece of art above it. If your fireplace isn't functional, fill the hearth with a decorative element such as birch logs.

A chunky wood mantel adds new material and textured warmth into the otherwise contemporary space, and provides a decorative ledge for decor pieces.

This bedroom boasts a traditional fireplace with a brick-lined hearth and tall surrounding millwork. Instead of being a stand-alone focal point of the room, it feels like an integrated extension of the rest of the space. A vintage-style area rug plays off the warm wood tones and adds a bright pop of color to an otherwise dark and neutral bedroom.

An angled corner fireplace is a perfect solution for a room that doesn't have a full wall available. Multiple windows, doors, and furniture can easily take up all the wall space in a bedroom, making a corner a great space-saving solution. This warm and inviting bedroom also proves that a room can have more than one focal point. The mounted built-in fireplace and upholstered bed both act as focal points that complement each other.

Off-Center Electric Fireplace

An off-center electric fireplace makes for a unique design feature in this blue bedroom. The asymmetrical placement of the minimalist fireplace and the mounted TV contrast with traditional artwork, patterned curtain panels, and a plush velvet wingback chair.

From the classic coffered ceiling and oversized windows to the modern white fireplace with a gray marble hearth and a built-in window seat, this bedroom is sophisticated in every way. To keep artwork above a mantel from getting lost, consider scale when selecting it. Keep the fireplace height and width, room size, and ceiling height in mind to ensure your art piece enhances the fireplace instead of diminishing its grandeur.
