Building an indoor fireplace isn't an easy task. A lot of considerations need to be taken into account before you can even start building the fireplace. For example, where is the chimney going to be situated in the house? Is the place where you want it suitable, from a structural point of view, to allow the chimney to rise to the roof without compromising cross beams in the ceiling? You also need to secure some local authority permits/planning permission to allow you to make changes to the structure of your house. Health and safety must be taken into account, that the fireplace will have sufficient ventilation to remove all smoke and soot from the fire.
