Corner fireplaces can feel a bit awkward, but this design by Outline Interiors is proof that if you embrace the layout you can dream up a true showstopper. Texture gray brick climbs up the wall and is accented with smooth marble at the base. Symmetry is created with the fireplace on the opposite side.
