From fireplace suppliers, you can get a bag that inflates to fill the space but leaves a gap for ventilation. Worth looking into that.
Don't block with newspaper etc, cos you can guarantee someone will forget to reomve it before lighting a fire!
Hope you get to stay warm!

The house that I lived in with chimneys all had "CHOAKS". This is a door built in the chimney that works on a lever system. Its about 12 in up inside that chimney just reach in and try to find the lever.

if you burn any fuels that the smoke goes up that chimney then you cannot block it at all.

Is it still used ? DON'T !
If it is abandoned, block it totally and make sure the fireplace is listed as nonfunctional should you sell.

rearrange your furniture with the back of a couch facing it. i knew someone who did that. and rearranged it again during summer.
