Ideas for reclaimed brick base for modern corner log burner

Hi there, Adding a wood burner sounds like a great idea and by winter you will have a really nice cosy feel to the living room! In terms of which one you should go for, it all depends on what look you are trying to achieve and how you want the room to feel, modern or traditional? If you are definitely going to build a proper fireplace which is compliant with building regs etc. then a square burner will look more traditional inside the square especially with the wooden beam on top. If however you do prefer a modern look and want the wood burner to be the focal point and stand out piece in the living room, then a curved stove would be better suited. I would also advise to have the pipework visible too (see attached picture). This makes it look more modern than a square one, saves space and assuming you go for it black, it will really stand out against light coloured walls. You can then style it with modern log holders etc to make it look really chic! I have a traditional square wood burner and I absolutely love it, especially in winter its super cosy when its on. I hope this helps?! If you are still unsure let me know and I'll see if I can help some more Have a lovely day Rukmini

I have been looking around for wood burners showrooms around Manchester but couldn't find one that have wide range of traditional style. Also any tips and advice would be grateful. thank you.

I like your art piece above the fireplace. 👌 It‘s different. Will look even better with painted mantelpiece as per Sonia’s suggestion.
