It's very old-fashioned phrasing, and not a common expression. It means every fireside (hearth) has a chair available for someone to sit in. You might paraphrase it as: "There is always room for one more at the fireside.". For a modern day equivalent, you might say: "There is always room for one more when we are watching a DVD.".
