To most people a real fire in a fireplace is a delightful physical and visual experience that often has nostalgic associations. Here are three ways to benefit from the natural properties of fire.
1
Fire as a Focal Point
One of the most desirable features and benefits of a wood burner is the heat output it provides. A wood burning stove provides a powerful heat source for your home, meaning that the room warms up quickly and effectively. As well as giving you a wonderful source of heat which is ideal during those colder months, wood burning stoves also look great. With styles ranging from classic to contemporary, there are plenty of options available for you to buy a wood burning stove which matches the décor of your home. A wood burning stove is a great way to provide this homely ambience, with its combination of cosy heat and also the visual impact of roaring flames dancing in the room. A wood burner can really make your house feel more homely. The wood burner in the images above is the focal point of the living area in our Dove Cottage, Totnes design project.

Fire in a Garden
A fire creates a cosy atmosphere outdoors. Fire pits or bowls light up the night sky and they can extend your home, linking the indoor spaces with outdoor spaces, making them useable all year round. There are many attractive fire pits and bowls available to buy. You can cook on them or burn dry green garden material such as twigs, branches and leaves. Watching the fire embers burn helps relax and unwind and makes the days last longer. At Studioamano, we love fire bowls made from corten steel, as this metal finish weathers to develop its own protective rust finish that looks wonderful in a green garden setting.

Fire to create Scent
Burning a candle can have many health benefits. The flicker of the flame and the low lighting provided by candle light creates an ambience of relaxation and calm. Scented candles that use quality essential oils can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety and stress.
The fragrances of essential oils are emanated in order to stimulate the senses. Aroma candles are used, not just for their pleasant fragrances, but also for their ability to change our mood, to help us feel good.
At studioamano we love the Pecksniffs range of products, as they relax and de-stress, with a soothing blend of essential oils, releasing a soothing fragrance and a glow creating a calming inner retreat.
