50 Kitchens with Fireplaces (Photos)

A photo collage of different types of kitchen with fireplaces.

100 year ago some form of fire, usually a large cooking fireplace with a stove above was commonplace in the kitchen.

These days, a fireplace in or near a kitchen, while not necessarily a luxury, is not terribly common… but is growing in popularity as open-concept living is implemented in more and more homes.

With an open concept layout, often the adjacent living or family room has a fireplace which when done well, is also in clear view from the kitchen.

At the end of the day, a fireplace in any room adds a nice aesthetic touch, and heat-emitting can warm up the space.

Below is our photo gallery featuring kitchen designs that have a kitchen either directly in the kitchen space or within view as a result of the open-concept living space.

One of my favorite fireplace/kitchen combos

Actually, this is one of my favorite fireplace concepts and that is the see-through fireplace that has glass to see the fire on two sides. You can then view the fireplace from the kitchen and an adjacent room whether a dining room or living/family room.

This is particularly awesome with ribbon-style fireplaces which are embedded into the wall. It’s often referred to as a modern style fireplace; they are sleek and wide.

While it’s easy deciding whether you want a fireplace in your kitchen or not, what’s even more difficult is if you want a fireplace in or adjacent to your kitchen, is choosing a fireplace. The options, styles, sizes, materials, and designs are endless.

Is the space it takes up worth it?

Let’s face it, space is at a premium in most kitchens. Do you want to give up cabinet/storage/countertop space for a fireplace? Most people don’t want to and I totally get it. However, if you’re in a position where adding some extra space for a fireplace in your kitchen, can be a really nice tough design-wise.

That said, I wouldn’t compromise important functional space for a fireplace; you really need extra space that you won’t miss.
