I live in a basement apartment with this beast of a hearth. The fireplace is gas and doesn’t even work right now. I’ve moved around the furniture a few times to try and make the space flow better, but I don’t know how to use this hearth space. It’s like 4 feet long + on each side. And slightly off-center.
I’ve thought about filling in the gaps with caulk or something to make it smooth (my landlord is my uncle and I have permission to do whatever) but that’s also a lot of time and potentially $$ for supplies.
I’ve also considered putting floor pillows on it for seating but I don’t have people over that often.
Ideas??
