About the data
Our data is based on analysis of 346,843 rooms that have or didnโt have a fireplace.
This analysis includes all types of fireplaces. In other words, any type of fireplace, including electric and gas fireplaces counted as a room with a fireplace.
Also, the data is based on new homes and renovated homes since 2009. This data does not include existing home before then. This actually makes it fairly solid data because itโs based on recent trends, which is the inclusion of more fireplaces (especially gas) in more rooms of the house.
What about kitchens, bathrooms and foyers?
While itโs true that kitchens and bathrooms can and do have fireplaces, the percentage of these two rooms that do is very, very minimal and so they werenโt included. You can assume that itโs a very small percent. In other words, the majority of kitchens, bathrooms and foyers do NOT have a fireplace (by a long shot).
