When looking for corner wood stove hearth ideas, you’re not alone!
It’s not unusual to position a wood stove in the corner, so plenty of examples exist.
You can buy or build a corner hearth from whatever material you like. It’s just a matter of deciding which material and your preferred shape.
Here are some of the different styles out there.
Hearth Ideas For Corner Wood Burning Stoves
This first example from My Scandinavian Home has a small wood stove in the corner on tiles.
Tile is a good choice for both hearths and heat shields. Many people effectively use tiles as part of a farmhouse-style fireplace.
The downside is that they can crack easier than other types of hearth.
Here we have a tile with a wood grain design.
It looks great, especially with the wood trim around the outside. However, the hearth is square with rectangular tiles, making the burner sit a little awkwardly in the corner.
We love the firewood rack!
This is a modern corner wood stove on a pedestal from Fleming Stoves in the UK.
The description states that the hearth is made from black slate, a heavy-duty material that will withstand the test of time.
We prefer this rounded hearth for wood stoves positioned in corners.
This is a glass hearth.
It will protect the flooring and make the area feel more open, but not everyone will like the look.
This corner wood stove has a practical hearth with firewood storage, though it doesn’t extend out very far.
The risk is that embers and hot ash will fall out of the fire and ruin the carpet. You would need a mat there, at the very least.
This modern corner wood-burning stove hearth is another example of black slate.
It’s a thin hearth that matches the profile of the flooring.
This means the hearth isn’t a feature by any means, but it catches sparks, embers, and dirt from wood.
This small square hearth is a great match with this soapstone wood stove.
There is no trim around the tile, and it’s placed down on the existing floor tiles.
For those wanting a more vintage or rustic aesthetic, there’s nothing wrong with a corner brick hearth!
It works well with the pot belly stove. You don’t have to worry about keeping it pristine and clean all the time, as you would with a more modern hearth.
This is the Contura 610 Wood Burning Stove on a round hearth plate.
Contura sell both glass and sheet metal hearth plates in a range of shapes and sizes.
This is a unique teardrop hearth with a wood stove from the Heta Scanline series.
Another triangular corner wood stove hearth with a rounded front side.
This is the “ACR Stoves Neo 1C Woodburning stove, fitted onto a new Italian-honed slate hearth.”
This is the Danish-designed TermaTech TT21R Wood Burning Stove.
It has been placed on a matt black Italian riven hearth. It’s simple, neat, tidy, and perfect for small wood stoves.
Here we have another pot belly.
It’s not the fanciest hearth, but it raises the fire, protects a bit of the floor, and makes it something of a feature.
A reclaimed brick hearth would look awesome in most house styles, especially with a big wood stove like this one.
The three-sided front on this hearth is also good for wood stoves in the corner; it’s symmetrical and easy on the eyes!
This is another example of a corner wood stove hearth with three sides out the front.
The hearth is made of stone tiles, and behind the wood stove is also very nice!
