Wood stoves are sized partially according to the amount of space you're heating. This home was actually just featured in a magazine I was reading and it's quite a small house--this is a good half of the home. It wouldn't need to be large to heat that small of a space.

I don't know how to say it like a professional designer, but I think it's to emphasize the vertical loftiness of the space. The small stove with the pronounced, linear and tall chimney draw the eye to the space's feature element: the beautiful ceiling. The spiral staircase supports the goal.

A striking composition, isn't it?

Modern wood stoves are extremely efficient. I could easily see one this size heating this relatively small home more than adequately.
