You might <em>think <\/em>that your space is a little too compact to make room for a fireplace, but that\u2019s very rarely true \u2013 modern fireplaces come in all shapes and sizes, and it\u2019s more than possible that you\u2019ll be able to find an option which doesn\u2019t just fit your space but truly enhances it.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/hole-in-wall-fireplace.jpg\" alt=\"hole in wall fireplace\" width=\"360\" height=\"198\">&nbsp;<!--more--> Still don\u2019t believe us? Well in that case, perhaps it\u2019s time to share a couple of our top suggestions for making it work\u2026 <strong>Choose a \u2018Hole in the Wall\u2019 Fireplace<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/hole-in-the-wall-fires\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018Hole in the Wall\u2019<\/a> fireplaces work pretty much exactly as the name suggests; they are set back into the wall, meaning that they don\u2019t take up any of that precious floor space. Their unusual design means that they can become a great feature of your room, while actually setting something into the wall has the effect of making your space seem bigger \u2013 meaning that far from being inappropriate for a small living room, a fireplace could actually make it feel bigger. <strong>Make the Fireplace the Centrepiece<\/strong> <img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RF1.png\" alt=\"RF1\" width=\"393\" height=\"300\"> Typically, modern families choose to set the TV as the centre of the room, with the rest of your furniture either pointing towards it or fit around it. In a smaller environment, this may mean that there isn\u2019t really space for a second focal point. However, there\u2019s no reason that you can\u2019t choose to move the focus away from the television, giving the fireplace pride of place instead and transforming the room into a much more social area. Of course, this doesn\u2019t mean that the TV has to go altogether \u2013 you can move it into another room, hide it away behind cabinet doors or simply place it in a less central location. That way, you can ensure that you are benefiting from both the warm charm of the fire <em>and<\/em> the luxurious conveniences of modern life.
