I would never think like that ! Very good idea :)

Do you think you know, what can I use as bigger log storage?

Here is one idea

I like the idea, but too big for my place.

Any ideas please?

Under the stove can I create a small platform made of concrete?

There was a woodstove like this in my childhood home. It rested on a layer of bricks on the floor with a simple 2x4 frame around it to keep the bricks together (no mortar needed). Maybe glazed tiles hung on the walls would be a colorful and heat-safe way to decorate the walls.

Anyone with ideas please?

[houzz=]

Brenda you think that large wall gallery dwarf the stove?

Can I use different sizes [maybe you have more ideas.... :)] Thank you

Tile or brick. Or maybe some wooden wall art.

WOW Thank you

Can I do little concrete platform under the stove? Instead of that black thing in my photo

I love the idea of the fireplace decal. It is an inexpensive, playful way to decorate around your stove. You wouldn't even need to change the black pad underneath. Hanging art over the "mantel" would complete the look. Your container for wood could be a bright, funky color. Add that in art and accessories in the room to tie it all together.

This is an awesome idea....here are some ways to hang art : http://pinterest.com/arttwo50/ways-to-hang/
And...if you need awesome original art, there is a new app for visualizing art hanging on your wall. Find it at arttwo50.com

I'm having a look at the pinterest link.... seems very interesting :)

I'm also searching for Scandinavian free standing wood-burning stoves ideas.... [for small space]

Check the fireplace brands' websites, such as Morso.

Also calculate what capacity woodburner you'll need for the volume of the room. And let a specialist check your chimney.

Don't laugh or call me crazy.... but I've bought the stove just for decoration. Where I live we don't need that heating in our homes!

I've been searching the web about 2 months now and I really cannot find what I'm looking for.

I like rinqreations idea about the brick or wood

Should I make the chimney like the photo I've attached with this comment, or like to above photo [the one I started the discussion with] ? I really appreciate all of your comments

No, just put a kettle on it, otherwise people might want to make a fire in it. Some small candles inside will be fun.
A concrete plateau and some cement or handglazed tiles will look great. Keep it simple. Maybe a traditional pattern on the tile.

Thank you rinqreation. I really like the idea about the candles !!

Do you have any ideas about a log storage. Something to fill around. I have about 3 metres space.

Any ideas similar to this style please?

Don't add a log storage, since you won't use the fire. Add some raw trunk stools around it instead. Or log pillows. A log carrier with magazines in it. Candle holders inside the burner (remove the door?).

I kept staring at the images :) Thank you like always. You're a genius!

Yesterday I found that tree wall art on Stylizimo blog.... But I'm not sure.... I really wish I can make a wall of those black and white quote, I really like them!!

I love these things.... http://pinterest.com/minimalista/c-e-l-e-b-r-a-t-e/ but I'm lost how can I decorate :(

I have got an idea with natural colors, but i will have got other ideas with vintage car if you like !!
This set of nine photos were taken in Copenhagen, Denmark

complete randomness mostly looks best, so I'd say just make a gallery wall, look here for ideas: http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/query/%22gallery-wall%22

Tip: when you hang a white painted plywood panel above&behind the wood burner, you can hang your items on nails and repaint the holes over and over when restyling.

I like the idea. Do you have a picture to see how it is please?

Build out the wall around it ... bricks on back of wall as in pic .. add fireplace surround & mantle .. hang art/mirror, etc. above.

What I'm searching for is Scandinavian style. And I wish to leave my stove free standing.

Thank you for your help indianpatti. But it's not the style I'm looking for.

But Thanks anyway.

I don't have a picture, but the panel should be painted the same white as the walls, so it will blend in.

Or use a natural plywood board or some planks as a mantle/backboard. Easy to make, quick finish.

Keeping it simple is the key, I think.

I think some of these photographs from our recent exhibition in SoHo would look great behind the stove, going with the woodsy theme people have been posting so far:



And we have more online if you'd like to browse: upriseart.com
Good luck!

rinqreation, regarding the wood.... what do you think about this:

This is a quick sketch of one side of the open plan.

I wanted to create a feature wall for the wood stove area because it's like it is making part of the corridor.

This looks a bit Scandanavian, but not your stove. Found it looking for "faux fireplace." You might see some cool ideas for the focal wall by searching in the box above under Photos.

But with your sofa turned the other way you'll only see it when you walk by?

Yes. But it's the best layout we figured out. Because we want large TV wall unit with book shelves.

Do you think that that wooden wall I posted is good? Due the fact that the stove is black

Honestly I don't know if I want to cover the wall or leave it plain.

Then leave it white for now.
