Contrary to what many people believe, traditional methods can be contemporary and there are many quality wood burners out there which flaunt a modern style. An inset modern wood burning stove can be a stunning feature of a wall, and if you want to bring some character to your outdated fireplace then it can be a really good option.

There are many different types of coloured stoves out there that burn wood and you don’t always have to go for that black cast iron style, which is found in many traditional properties. A contemporary wood stove could have sleek lines, a dazzling glass screen and designer handles, while they can be quite compact too.

So many people will automatically think of a big chunky stove when the phrase ‘wood burner’ is mentioned but that certainly doesn’t have to be the case, and contemporary options are out there to be found.
