If you have a fireplace, you will probably be looking for an attractive way to store the wood nearby so that you don't have to run outside every time. The firewood rack is not only useful, but can and should also have a decorative side to it. The metal firewood rack is particularly easy to care for and we would like to introduce you to various models, including designer pieces.
You can also have the shelf made yourself. A sturdy metal is recommended. Depending on the material, the costs for production are also higher because somemetalsare more difficult to weld and special welding systems are required.
It is also practical that you can put the shelf inany colorcan be deleted. This way you get the perfect design to match your interior. The color black is particularly modern and also the most practical. Since the firewood is constantly being pushed in and pulled out again, the paint can quickly become dirty, which is not noticeable with black.
Of course, you choose the shelf depending on the space you have available. If you have a large, free wall, it can be larger and accommodate more wood. But a smaller model can also be sufficient. The important thing is that you have to go outside for new wood as rarely as possible.
You are welcome to build a shelf yourself. This is an option if you're into the industrial style. Simply take some metal pipes and assemble the model you want, then fill it with the firewood.
There are basically no limits to the designs and you can also choose the size yourself. Here you can see an interesting round model from Morsø. It has a base to catch dirt and also a handle for easier carrying.
The Extremis model is offered in two color variants. There is also a matching trolley with which the full shelf can be easily transported indoors. Instead of fetching wood several times to fill the shelf, fill it once and move it to its usual spot next to the fireplace.
This shelf from Röshults is simple yet stylish. It holds enough wood and again has wheels to make transport easier. The white color also makes the model look very elegant, especially when placed in front of a darker wall.
If you're into Scandinavian style and want a matching shelf, then Mixrack from Showroom Finland might be just the thing for you. Ordinary poles in white form the model. You can also use it as inspiration and have it made.
If you have very limited space, you need multifunctional versions of the furniture and accessories in the room. This original shelf offers exactly that. On the one hand, it is a small model that takes up little space and on the other hand, it can also be used as a stool, coffee table or side table.
Like any other type of shelf, this one can also have a decorative effect. With the right design, it can be a real eye-catcher in the room and more than just additional storage space. A pretty stand or a combination of different colors can create a great eye-catcher in the room.
The great thing about metal is that it can be wonderfully bent and shaped. Wrought iron in particular is a great option for creating ornate and romantic designs. Here you can see a metal firewood rack that has a semicircular shape and can wonderfully hold the wood without losing its decorative look.
It is best to place the shelf near the fireplace. This means you always have it at hand when heating and avoid making the surrounding area dirty with splinters or other dirt. A shelf is also practical if it also has hooks for hanging the fireplace tools.
This model has been thought out in such a way that the wood in it also contributes to the decorative effect. Different types and sizes of wood can even be combined to create original patterns. This is also the case with the next example:
Several compartments are designed with arbitrary shapes, each of which is filled with different wood or with logs and sticks. The width of the shelf should approximately correspond to the standard length of the firewood so that the arrangement ultimately looks nice and tidy.
The shelf doesn't have to be anything elaborate at all. A regular rectangular design can be just as attractive as a round or ornate one. Wrought iron with attractive ornaments can be quite expensive. If you don't want to invest a lot, choose a shelf like the one above, which can also be divided into several compartments.
If the shelf is installed well and securely, it can also perfectly decorate the wall, as is the case in this living room. The round design is again divided into several compartments that are filled with different logs and pieces of wood. The shelf seems to be more of a decoration than storage.
A small model is compact and can be put aside more easily and quickly when needed, which is particularly advantageous if there are no wheels. Two compartments can be used to separate the firewood and thin sticks to light the fire.
Two frames attached to each other at specific intervals by rods or rods are all that is needed for a shelf. The model is so simple and yet makes a great impression. The modern shelf comes into its own wonderfully in the Mediterranean interior and appears anything but intrusive.
Here you can see another variant for the semicircular design. The height of the shelf can be adjusted as desired using feet. This model also has two compartments that can be filled differently. The metal firewood rack is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and should definitely not be missing for a comfortable living experience.
