Let these modern stoves—many of which greatly reduce pollution compared to their predecessors—provide inspiration for warming up your space.

Once the charming home of actress Molly Parker, best known for her roles in Deadwood and House of Cards, 1816 Lake Shore is a 1923 build that has retained all of the classic, covetable elements of a bungalow.

Situated outside the village of Burrowbridge in Southwest England, this historic property occupies the site of a 19th-century Baptist chapel.

In the chapel, a woodburning stove adds a cozy element.
This mountain residence in Moonbridge, California, is nestled on a quiet street a mere 10 minutes from the nearby slopes. The vintage olive fireplace from The Retro Burn was the first piece Thomas got for the living room. That locked in the color palette of avocado, sorbet pink, and marigold. The Fireclay Tile platform came in when, despite ordering the tallest fireplace she could find, it missed the ceiling by a few feet.
Atelier Oslo overcame nature’s challenges when they designed Cabin Norderhov, a seasonal, eco-friendly retreat on a steep hillside overlooking Lake Steinsfjorden. The home’s layout revolves around a central glass and metal "campfire" that burns beneath a suspended mantel.

The surrounding floor is covered with hexagon tiles cut from marble, which transition into tiles made of birch log in the rest of the house.
Architect Guillermo Acuña’s sprawling getaway lines the coast of Isla Lebe in the Chiloé Archipelago in Chile.
