I would strongly suggest NOT doing a corner fireplace. It makes placing furniture so much more difficult.

this isn't the final design, but having a corner fireplace makes it viewable from the great room, kitchen, and front door/hallway area, and makes it so we don't need to put the TV above the fireplace

Avoid angled walls.

Put the fireplace on the long wall with the tv next to it. Look up ways to do it here on Houzz. That fireplace will be impossible to put furniture around and will wind up never being used.

thanks for the input on the layout. Any opinions on FP brands?

Sorry to beat the same drum, but corner fireplaces are. the. worst.

why? They give views from multiple perspectives

^^^ I like that kind of corner fireplace!

IMO corner fireplaces are what builders do to include a fireplace to sell a house. They are a real pain to arrange furniture with and I certainly would never choose to have one.

You don’t need to see the fireplace from every room, it is okay for it to be a focal point for only one room.

Corner fireplaces really are terrible for for furniture arrangements, as are angled walls. Yours as currently placed essentially means if you want any furniture around it you are cutting off and into hallway and walkway spaces, and the fireplace itself really is more of something people will “pass by” on way to somewhere more comfortable instead of enjoy.

and it actually provides another seating space that will make the space feel larger, assuming the rest of the space is addressed accordingly.

No it doesn't because the room isn't large enough to allow for 2 seating areas. Plus with a 7'8" opening to the hallway and the bar area opposite, there definitely isn't any room to put furniture so what will happen is that fireplace will be sitting there being even more difficult to decorate around.

Leggwork, do yourself a favor, and try laying out your furniture how you intend to have it in the space. That will help you to see whether or not it will work for you or not.

I will say that normally a fireplace in a room should be the focal point of the room and not the poor cousin you ignore. With your layout and it in the corner like that, I'm afraid it will turn into that ignored cousin. :)

What is the style of the house? That might help us to help you design a feature wall with a tv and a fireplace. :)

One other thought. Corner fireplaces are a huge negative if you ever need to sell. People just don't want to have to deal with trying to design around them.

As for brands, I don't know of those brands.

Go with Valor, there are multiple remote setting options, they'll work without power, and you can style your fireplace to match the theme of your home.

As cpartist suggested, you definitely need to grab some graph paper, cut out pieces of furniture to scale, and move them around the drawing. Keep in mind that you need a minimum of 36" of clear walkway around your seating area. Very quickly you should realize the room's limits. My guess is that as drawn, you have room for a 3 seat sofa and one or two armchairs
