10 Beautiful Rooms with Double Sided Fireplaces

If you want to make a tremendous style impact in a room while also dividing it for functionality, consider incorporating a double sided fireplace. They’re visually stunning, practical in the colder months, and are a way to break up space without adding walls to a room. It’s quite common for two sided fireplaces to be used in living areas, but you can also put one in your bedroom, dining room, or even in the bathroom. Outdoor living spaces feature them as well, and there’s seemingly no end to the designs and styles available. Here are ten beautiful room designs that feature double sided fireplaces.

1. Towering brick fireplace

The classic brick fireplace in this home divides a living and dining area, giving more privacy in an open concept design. Not only does it work well in this particular space, it looks beautiful on its own and melds into the room’s transitional design. Topping the fireplace with crown molding resulted in it having a more upscale appearance, and the art posted on the fireplace and walls of the rooms adds much needed color and visual interest to the space.

2. Mid-century modern elements

The style of the stone fireplace in this home matches the mid-century modern aesthetic of the room it’s in. The neutral tone of its exterior complements the furnishings and art in the room and helps bring each side of the space together. A unique feature of this double sided fireplace is its see-through center, which allows anyone on either side to peer into the next room.

3. A relaxed and casual space

Two sided fireplaces aren’t just for rooms with a formal style of decor, but those that are meant to be relaxing and casual as well. This living room is a laid back space with comfortable furnishings, a streamlined look, and an entertainment center off to one wall. The large stone fireplace not only brings warmth to the room in colder seasons, it’s also an architectural element that adds textural and visual interest. Opting for stone in a very light shade of gray was a good choice, as it complements the color of the wall and prominent sectional.

4. Contemporary beauty

Fireplaces such as this one are popular because of their beauty and also because they can be installed in homes without a chimney or pre-existing fireplace. Once lit, it becomes the centerpiece of this contemporary living area and makes a gorgeous contrast with the vibrant art hanging above it. The rest of the design is filled with neutral tones, including cream colored seating and a chocolate brown table.

5. Traditional elegance

This home features a more traditional looking double sided fireplace that separates a formal dining room from a living area. It perfectly matches the style of the space, which features timeless elements with a few contemporary touches. Part of what makes this fireplace blend in so well with both rooms is the decor on its mantle, which reflects the decor seen elsewhere in the space.

6. Warm tones

If you have a traditional or transitional style space, you can’t go wrong with a double sided fireplace such as this one. It stretches from floor to ceiling and is comprised of warm colored stone and a dark wooden mantle. It works well in this space, which uses the fireplace as a divider for a living room and dining area. Each room also has warm tones including browns, cream, and deep red. Another element that the rooms share with the fireplace is a scattering of greenery and potted plants. If you want to help your fireplace blend in with the rooms on each side of it, decorate it with the same type of decor used throughout both spaces.

7. Sleek and fashionable

A glamorous and upscale home demands a fireplace that’s just as impressive, and this one is gorgeous. It features tile with a lacquered finish in high gloss black, and a large portion of its center provides a clear view of the fire pit within. It’s a bold design choice, but one that pays off and adds loads of style to this sleek and modern space. The seating and large silver sectional on either side of the fireplace pair perfectly with the fireplace, as do the home’s many silver decorative accents.

8. An alluring divider

You don’t necessarily have to go with a huge double sided fireplace to have a big design impact. This open concept home has a combined living room, breakfast nook, dining area, and kitchen that’s divided by a partition containing a fireplace on one panel. It’s small enough not to overwhelm the other elements in the design, but prominent enough to act as a decoration itself. The entire area looks quite chic, and the fireplace makes the space well suited for entertaining.

9. Gorgeous neutrals

Here’s a room with another small double sided fireplace, and this one melds with the rest of the decor in the space so well that it can easily be mistaken as a piece of furniture. The room is filled with attractive neutrals and beautiful pieces, and the fireplace mimics those aspects of the design with its soft white shade and blend of metal, painted wood, and stone. It’s not very large, but still manages to effectively divide the living room from a seating area nearby. A fireplace such as this one would be an excellent option for a modestly sized space or one that could use an extra surface for displaying decor.

10. A modern interpretation

This double sided fireplace is a true showpiece that’s as decorative as it is functional, and it easily stands out as the most prominent piece in the space. When you have a fireplace with a distinctive design and large scale such as this one, be prepared to design the room around its appearance rather than trying to get it to mesh with your furniture and decor. The elements in the living area and dining space that it divides are contemporary and work well with the large gray and silver fireplace.
