Built in firewood storage next to fireplace

If you are looking for a way to upgrade your fireplace as a focal point, you may want to upgrade indoor firewood storage. The natural beauty of cut wood brings an outdoorsy feel to the home, and some of the options for displaying firewood add a touch of elegance, as well. Indoor firewood storage can be creative, artistic, and unforgettably intriguing. The following are a few of the great options for firewood storage that’ll provide eye-catching appeal all year.

Built-in Storage

With the sleek look of linear fireplaces, built-in storage units for firewood are an ideal fit, style-wise. There are many different ways to create stunning effect, including the following:

• Create floor-to-ceiling vertical storage at a width that matches the height of the linear fireplace. Fill the entire space with cut logs that are all of the same precise length.
• For a firewood storage built-in that offers a surprise element, tuck the firewood in a narrow, closet-like niche at the end of the wall where the fireplace is on display about 3 feet off the ground.
• Under-Seating Storage
• ·Add a wide stone or cement bench for sitting

  Trend Watch: Wood Storage & Gas Fireplaces

  Certain pairings in design are inherently satisfying: all-white kitchens, bay windows and coastal homes, Scandinavian touches and industrial loft style, fireplaces and firewood. And while we can all agree that a stack of firewood instantly adds warmth and texture to a room with a fireplace, pairing firewood with a gas fireplace may not be as obvious a choice, but that is changing.

  Since gas fireplaces don’t require the addition of firewood to keep them burning (also known as a big part of their universal appeal—more on that here!), that’s not stopping creative homeowners and interior designers from including firewood storage in rooms where a gas fireplace is the focal point. Wondering whether this trend is for you? Read on for inspiration on how to put this trend to work in your space.
