Three-Way Fireplace Ideas

A warm, cozy fire adds ambiance to a room like no other appliance in a home. A fireplace serves as a focal point and element that anchors a room. It sets a stage to welcome guests for parties and entertaining, enjoying time with family members and for unwinding, relaxing or just spending time reading a book, watching a movie or watching the snow fall on a winter night. The ambiance and effect that a fireplace provides can be multiplied and tripled in how it is enjoyed when you incorporate design ideas to build a three-way fireplace to service multiple living space areas.

  1. Peninsula

    • A three-way fireplace that extends out from a wall is referred to as a peninsula. Think of it as a rectangular "U" shape. A peninsula can be created in a home with an existing fireplace that's not located in a corner, but rather in a space that will allow for an area to be built-out for three-way viewing. The central location will be needed to achieve a three-way effect because parallel walls will have to be built. The peninsula can be created from floor to ceiling or shoulder height to create a contemporary mantle area for decorative items or a tray of hors d'oeuvres. Recreating a three-way from an existing fireplace will require highly professional consultations, licenses, permits and construction to make sure that proper chimney ventilation will be achieved and whether adding to or moving the chimney will be required.

    Living Room and Kitchen

    • The advantage of having a three-way fireplace is that it can be enjoyed from multiple vantage points. A popular choice for a three-way fireplace location is to stage it so that it can be used for warmth and viewing between a living room and kitchen. The see-thru capability is engaging for family and guests in either room and is a fine addition for entertaining guests for dinner and over the holidays. The warm glow of the fireplace, combined with the scents and aromas of dinner create an enhancement to dining and spending time with friends and loved ones.

    Dining Room and Living Room

    • Another interior design for a three-way fireplace is to have it shared between a dining room and living room. This requires a wall space between the two rooms so that the three-way fireplace can be positioned on the outer edge of the wall. This type of placement adds to the enjoyment of dinner parties and gatherings by allowing guests to meander from the dining room table to the living room area for conversations after meals.

    Master Bedroom and Bathroom

    • A three-way fireplace to adjoin a master bedroom and bath will provide a luxurious addition to make the master suite even more pleasurable. You can draw a relaxing bath, turn on romantic music, light candles and enjoy an enchanting and private at-home experience. Use a fireplace insert with glass doors for an elegant contemporary look. Create a raised surround seating area tiled with slate, marble or ceramic tiles. Stage towels and bathrobes so they are warm and comforting after bathing. Place flutes of champagne to continue to enjoy the three-way fireplace from bed after having your bath.
