In Wall Fireplace - How to Choose the Right Height and Depth for Your Fireplace

Height

While it may appear to be an easy task to answer, determining the height of your fireplace is among the most important decisions you make. The height of your fireplace will influence everything from how it fits in a room to its visibility. The fireplace might appear strange when it is too high. It will also diminish its attractiveness.

The length of the wall is also important since a wall that is larger can support a fireplace that is larger.

The way you intend to use your fireplace is another important factor. If you are planning to use it only to decorate your home, the lower height is ideal.
