Wood Burning Stoves For Stylish Eco Living

Wood burning stoves have been dubbed 'green and groovy' as they become hot in the world of interior design.

The idea that you can have a source of heating that a) reduces your energy bills substantially, b) has great 'green' credentials, and c) looks invitingly stylish is one that has really caught on. The trend of wood burning stoves is spreading like wildfire as the efficient alternative to gas or electricity has sparked huge demand. Wood burning stoves have become something of a feature in designer pads, luxurious camp sites and glamorous country retreats. The physical pleasure of watching flames dance, the exquisite smell of burning wood and the cosy heat of a wood burning fire means they’ve overtaken the Aga when it comes to middle-class must have accessories.

Sparks Fly for Wood Burning Stoves

The trend for is clear as the home owning classes now covet wood burning stoves. Wood burning stoves were once the domain of the eco-friendly, quaint features in country cottages. But now, a wood burning stove is something of a status symbol alongside the trend for granite worktops and espresso machines. But where the trend for wood burning stoves is different is thanks to the fact it offers a long term appeal, rather than a flash in the pan fashion. As energy bills continue to soar, and consuming electricity and gas is increasingly frowned upon, wood burning stoves offer more than just a beautiful feature for the home – they can bring down your house bills and help contribute to a greener environment.

Getting Heated Over Home Heating

Unlike a roaring open fire where the heat can escape up the chimney, a wood burning stove is efficient, green and gorgeous to look at. What's more the eco-enthusiasts have helped ensure wood burning stoves are on everyone’s lust-list, writing enthused write ups in the broadsheet weekend pages about the environmental benefits. The trend is such that the fashionable sets of London are even vying for wood burning stoves, even if getting your hands on wood stocks in the city isn't as easy as it is in the country. The green credentials of wood burning stoves have been rubber-stamped by the Department of Energy and Climate Change saying those who use a wood burning stove which generated its own electricity could do more than save – but actually earn 6.5p per kilowatt hour.

It's not surprising then that reports say sales of eco-friendly heaters and wood burning stoves have risen by 300% in just 12 months. And with the increment weather in Britain, more people are getting ready to ride out the winter in style – using a carbon neutral fuel that cuts down on bills, joining celebrities such as Daniel Day Lewis, Lily Allen and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall who all own a coveted wood burning stove.
