Wood stove placement in great room? Help!
We are working on plans for a new house. My husband has already purchased a wood burning stove and wants that instead of a wood burning fireplace. He does not want it to be set back in a brick or rock "fireplace" like space but wants it out in the open. I like the farmhouse look/feel and open concept. We have this plan because my 82 yr old mom will be living with us so this plan gave us a couple rooms that can serve as her apartment. Anyway, the placement of the wood stove on this plan is not going to work according to the folks at the wood stove store. They recommend it be by an outside wall. It will take up about 4 ft of space from whatever wall it sets against. So where do we place it? I'd like to have built ins on the wall by the Master Bedroom for TV and bookshelves.
Our house layout is below and also a picture of the wood stove. Help! Thank you!

Do you have a 2nd floor? That may be why they are saying put it on an outside wall. It has to vent.Related Discussions

Comments (8)It's always difficult to position furniture in an open floor plan, especially when there are so many walkways and doorways. I would place a sofa on the long wall to the left of the fireplace, and another sofa perpendicular to that facing the fireplace. That defines the seating area. Then add a console table behind the sofa facing the fireplace, a coffee table in the center, and end tables on either side of the sofa on the long wall. Add a club chair to the right of the fireplace, an area rug and you're all set!...See MoreWindow placement for an open concept great room

Comments (1)I personally do not like TVs above the fireplace. I would put the TV on the wall to the right of the fireplace and get a rounded ("L" shape, more or less) seating unit that faces the fireplace and the TV wall. A sofa table behind on the side of the kitchen would create a visual barrier but be a place to put lamps. Ideally, put some outlets in the floor so cords do not run across the space. You still can put small end tables at either end of the sofa system. Whatever coffee table you buy would be somewhat dependent on the shape of the sofa, but so many things will work. You can also put a swivel base chair (club chair, recliner, whatever) in the corner of the TV wall and fireplace wall, for more conversation seating. Good luck!...See MoreHelp with GreatRoom: Window Coverings, TV Placement, sectional
Comments (11)Agree to leave TV where it is now. A console at 2/3the width of that wall. I really like your rug but the off white and blue with the white sofa and gray walls isn't working. The rug also needs to be larger. It should extend a foot on either side of the sofa. If you pull the sofa off the wall 6-8" you should be able to get luxurious drapes behind it. I would center the sofa on the windows and move the end table to the other end. Hoping those are the temporary paper construction shades. Replace with solar shades - inside mount if possible - hang the curtain rod 2/3 up the distance from top of window to crown molding and 12" wider than the 3 windows....See MoreTammy Kahler Johnson
