Getting the position right is partly about looks and partly about safety and comfort. This guide explains how much clearance to leave between the hearth and the table, how far the table should sit from the sofa, and which materials cope best near heat. We walk through three layouts that suit British homes: facing sofas either side of the fire, a single sofa opposite the fireplace and L shaped seating that also serves a TV on an adjacent wall. We look at using a rug to anchor the group, balancing the fireplace with the television, choosing the right table shape and height to keep the fire in view, and styling the table so it complements the mantelpiece. Common layout mistakes are covered too.
