The Fire Inside: 15 Ways To Create The Fireside Feeling Without A Fireplace
Slide Nr 1It’s beginning to look and feel a lot like winter out there, and nothing is cosier than curling up in a pair of fluffy pajamas by a warm, crackling hearth or wood stove with a cup of tea, hot chocolate or red wine. The pyjamas and the warm drinks are pretty easy to come by, but not everyone has access to a working fireplace. Even if you do, maintenance is crucial and clean-up is never simple. Thankfully there are plenty of ways to get that fireside feeling (and even real flames!) without the need for a chimney sweep.
