Living room warmth
A fireplace is a recessed opening in a wall designed to contain a fire for heating or ambiance, typically with a chimney to draw smoke outside.
The fireplace traditionally served as a home's primary heat source and cooking area; now it's mostly decorative or supplemental: We gathered around the fireplace on Christmas Eve.
The word also refers to the entire surrounding structure including mantel and hearth.
