Create a Rustic Household Feel with Wood Burning Stoves

Although modern day residential properties are constructed using bricks and mortar to provide a rigid infrastructure to protect against external weather conditions, its foundations were built upon the creation of traditional properties. During the Victorian era, hardwood was the predominate material used within the establishment of all households and coach houses which provided a quality of life.

The sturdiness, durable and hardwearing qualities of timber was effectively practical within creating a rustic environment. This was typified by the evident naturalistic qualities of wood across the external aspects of a household, in addition to the wooden beams which scaled horizontally across the ceiling and vertically down between each floor. Wood was also utilised within many other aspects of traditional properties, as floors and household furniture were manufactured from timber. Furthermore, stoves utilised wood as an effective source of fuel to keep household warm when required.

While many contemporary households no longer utilise wood in the same manner, homeowners can still receive and enjoy the rustic effect within their property. Certain households and pubs across the United Kingdom still bear the hallmarks of traditional building with wooden beams remaining a prominent feature. Although households are now constructed in an entirely different manner, homeowners can still inject the rustic appeal within their property via wooden furniture, units and wood burning stoves.

Multi fuel stoves are usually incorporated into a property via an efficient connect to a building’s fire-safe chimney system, although they can be also purchased as mobile products that can be positioned areas that are considered fit for purpose. With wood burning stoves, homeowners can enjoy the naturalistic qualities of watching and hearing wood burn whilst receiving the considerable level of heat generated from a wood fire.

Stoves provide their own visual qualities within any household, whether it is within a contemporary living room or accompanied with hardwood flooring and wood-based furniture. Homeowners must ensure that they retain adequate spare fuel and parts to receive the best output quality from multi fuel stoves to effectively heat up their living room.
