When rooms include a fireplace, this is invariably the protagonist of the room. And it is around it that everything is accommodated and that different styles of decoration are adapted. On short days and falling temperatures, there's nothing like the cozy atmosphere of a fireplace!

There are those who prefer to feel the realism of the firewood, but there are also the supporters of more current solutions with the advantage of being programmable, thus facilitating its daily use. However, if your heart is beating faster for the first time, don't forget some good practices:

• You should use dry, cut, stored and ventilated firewood in a reserved place.
• In each use it is necessary to remove the ashes and, from time to time, check the exhaust pipes in order to avoid clogging.
• When lighting it, traditionally, you start by placing the paper, then the wood chips and then the small wood. Avoid placing larger logs immediately, only after the fire 'gets well'.

Of course, there are other ways to light it. You must start the fire according to your needs and the desired intensity, after all, in the autumn you will not feel of trying intensity as in the peak of winter. Besides, did you know that it heats the remaining environments, with less intensity?
In one or another solution, you should give preference to closed fireplaces (eg with glass-ceramic door). 'Open' fireplaces create a big impact but are seven times less efficient.
But to start warming up this winter, we've selected some of our favorite pinterest fireplaces!
