"Inglenook" means corner or nook by a fireplace. An inglenook design will give a kitchen fireplace a feel of times past. To stay true to the design, create a fireplace with cobblestones or small stones that convey an old English look. Use decorative pieces such as antique metal or copper pots inside the fireplace to draw attention to the inglenook design. The kitchen inglenook fireplace will replicate the warmth and gathering spot that the original fireplaces served in historic pubs and hotels.
Create a shared or dual fireplace with an inglenook design. The fireplace will be enjoyable from rooms with adjoining walls, such as between a kitchen and a living room or a living room and a dining room. Keep height, depth and coziness as your design guidelines to make the fireplace representative of inglenooks from long ago.
Use the inglenook concept to create a fireplace that serves warmth and provides coziness both indoors and outdoors. Design and construct the fireplace for enjoyment from the corner of a family room and for those gathered outdoors on a patio.
