Kitchen Woodburner Stove ideas
Am looking for advice regarding a woodburning stove. We intend having a small grey colour woodburner installed in the fireplace at the dining area of the kitchen.
The existing black surround and white mantelpiece will be removed and the chimney opened up. Two things I am unsure about, whether to just paint the inside of the fireplace behind the stove one it has been made good or tile it? Secondly a suggestion for the hearth, I am not too keen on black slate which we have in our living room and thought about a granite with an uneven edge (for texture). My kitchen is fairly modern with white units and black granite tops and I want to try and break up the black theme as although the kitchen is lovely and light in the day at night it seems dark with such a lot of black tops! We inherited the granite tops so don't intend changing them. I hope that the grey colour woodburner will add warmth to this end of the kitchen.

7 years agoHi Linda, It will certainly add warmth to that end of the kitchen and subject to the output size you go for it could heat all the kitchen (if that's what you're after) If you have a free standing log burner, multi fuel is best, you will almost certainly need to use fireproof render and paint. You could also have the fireplace opening made to a specific size and have an inset stove, you would still probably need some sort of hearth too. :)
All the best,
Jason

Fireplace...replace with a woodburner?
Comments (21)Hi, into only taken 2 years ..but finally finished the room, the box to the right of the fireplace we found out housed gas pipes so ripped all that out, couldn't put in a wooden 1930's fireplace if I wanted a burner due to fire regulations, so opted for a concrete wooden effect beam, with a natural slate underneath , we stripped the walls, replastered and finally painted... just waiting on my new curtains and I can shop for a nice new rug possibly :) before and after ......See MoreWoodburner Stove Flue?
Comments (5)I think you would have to build a proper masonry chimney on top of the roofline. The flue could pop up through the chimney. The tiles could then be cut back around the chimney and weather proofed with lead flashing as standard. The tricky bit would be the support of the chimney which could be done with extra roof timbers. If you have a flat ceiling you could hide the structural support in the roof void. However, if you have a sloping ceiling it will be more difficult as you will need to hide the structural support, it should still be achievable though. If you decide to do this you should make sure it's all well planned out first. I also think it will be quite expensive to do. Good luck!...See MoreOak frame new build - Help re a Woodburning stove.

Comments (6)As has been suggested, paint the walls and inside the fireplace in one colour once you have had the border filled and finished. I would do nothing more as you have a beautiful slate grey hearth, and adding a border would fuss everything up too much! Less is more! Wall colours will depend on what furniture and furnishings you have in the room. Logs piled next to the fire always give a nice rustic finish, but I would personally tidy it up and leave it as it is, it's such a lovely shape....See More

7 years agoHopefully you like the bricks then! In terms of the worktop, I love minimal too with just essentials out but with a few decorative accessories. I've attached a few pics of DeVOL kitchens showing accessories as they always look beautiful. I think the worktop could be lightened up with more wood, perhaps copper, white marble, ceramic and herbs. I love the terracotta pieces you've got and the large bowls pictured below so i might try these on the worktop plus the white jug you've got on the hearth as these will stand out against the black. A large glass vase of stems will also look good on the island. Fruit/veg/grains etc can also look good displayed. The last pic (not DeVOL) just shows how a white room with a wood floor is warmed by plants, I know there's rather a lot but it was just to give an idea! Hopefully a few ideas anyway which should help to break up the black and add more texture
