There\u2019s nothing more comforting than a real flame glowing from your fire. When a long day is over, being welcomed by the relaxing, warming, and homely wood burning stove<\/a> makes you feel at ease and tranquillity almost instantly; it\u2019s fair to say that a wood burning stove can turn a house into a home<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Adding cosiness and warmth to any space, this humble piece transforms your house into the real meaning of a living space \u2013 creating a stylish space for the whole family to enjoy. Here we take a look at some real-life examples and what difference the simple addition of a wood burning stove can make.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe home should be the treasure chest of living.\u201d<\/p>\n

Style Statement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not only do you want a home to feel like a place you are excited to retreat to after time away, you want it to reflect whoever is living there, and there\u2019s no doubt that a wood burning stove has plenty of character and brings life into any house.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a home owner or trying to spruce up the d\u00e9cor of a business, the traditional styling of a wood burning stove can completely transform a space into a design marvel.<\/p>\n

“Even in a relatively contemporary house I would still favour a traditional style,” I\u2019ve got three stoves in my own house, which sounds very decadent, but two of them are tiny. Then we\u2019ve got a huge one in our barn conversion which heats the whole ground floor.<\/p>\n

More Money, Less Problems<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the face of escalating fuel bills, the cosy solution of a wood burning stove can help. A home is certainly much more relaxed and stress-free when the bills aren\u2019t a worry.<\/p>\n

Not only can a wood burning stove save you money on your energy bills, it can significantly decrease your bills over time and looks fantastic while doing so.<\/p>\n

Interviewed by This Is Money, Alex and Cheryl Raey have four wood burners and buy fuel in bulk, paying about \u00a3500 a year and say the stoves pay for themselves after 5 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a big house and the stoves heat every room. If we didn\u2019t have woodburners our energy bill would be about \u00a33,000 a year\u201d<\/p>\n

Time to be Together<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not only is the area by a wood burning stove the perfect place to gather as a family, couple or with a group of friends, but the act of preparing the fire is also a task to take on together. Especially after an adventure outdoors, there\u2019s nothing better than retreating to a roaring fire.<\/p>\n

After your logs are prepared and the perfect fire is built, you can sit back and marvel at your work \u2013 play some board games, watch a film, or just enjoy some quality time together.<\/p>\n

A fire creates a hub, a place to gather, bringing everyone together in a relaxing and cosy atmosphere. However, when you want some time by yourself to curl up with a book, the fire also presents the perfect spot to kick back and relax.<\/p>\n
