With winter past us (at least in the northern hemisphere), it’s time to discover alternate ways of displaying firewood. Consider them as art rather than burning substance. I’ve always thought that wood is among the most flexible materials on the market, particularly when its home has a modern, clean and uncluttered look. Firewood can add much more with its tough and organic feel.
Below are some excellent ways homeowners and designers have utilized their own firewood to warm modern interiors — with no real fire.
