Nothing brings warm winter comfort quite like a peaceful fireside moment. A comfortable chair becomes the ideal place to snuggle up with a cup of hot tea and a good book. Keep extra throw blankets nearby that can double for warmth and décor.

Don’t let the long winter nights get you down. While there may be less daylight to enjoy, an evening indoors can be just as enchanting. Bring a table near the hearth for an intimate meal. You’re sure to find that, with a few quick edits to your space, something ordinary like dinner can suddenly feel extra special.

An outdoor fireplace transforms your cottage’s screened porch into a four-season room. Relaxing in quiet contentment by the glow of crackling flames is enhanced with a scenic winter view.

A contemporary twist to traditional gas logs, these fireplace balls add a sophisticated touch. And preparing hot mulled cider to sip with guests by the fire adds a delightful aromatic scent to your home.
