LEGO® Fireplace

Description

A living room in miniature

A fireplace is the heart of many living rooms, which is exactly what makes it a nice subject for a furnishing set. The Fireplace 277-1 belongs to the Homemaker theme and dates from 1977. It is not a building but a piece of furniture to stand in a scene, giving it a cosy feel. If you build a doll's-house-style room from bricks, you can use it to shape a corner that instantly looks like home. Within a larger living-room arrangement in particular, it makes a clear focal point.

Black, red, yellow, blue

Black is the main colour and suits the frame and the hearth well. Red and yellow stand for flames or warmth, while blue sets a cool counterpoint. The set counts 86 pieces in 27 different types, which makes it quite varied for its size. Many small special parts handle details such as the mantel, the fire or decoration, while a few larger bricks form the basic structure and keep the shape stable. The mix of a dark frame and warm colours looks convincing even without any further decoration.

To display and to extend

No minifigures belong to the set, so you receive a pure furnishing model. That suits the Fireplace as part of a collection: together with other Homemaker sets, such as the Doctor's Office, it makes a small slice of seventies domestic life. Alternatively, put the fireplace in a scene of its own and add a sofa, a rug and figures from other boxes. At 86 pieces, the build is over quickly. The set also works well as a base for your own conversions, should you want to reuse the pieces later.

Parts list and ideas

You will find the complete parts list on this page. Compare it with your stock to see how much of a rebuild you already own. Most collections hold black bricks in quantity. With “What can I build?” you can also find models that come together from the same parts, in case you would rather turn the fireplace into a stove, a wall or something else entirely. And if individual bricks are missing, you can see that on the parts list at once and search for them directly.
