A fireplace is considered the main attribute of a cozy apartment or country house, which is not surprising, because it is this “detail” that creates an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.

In addition to the pleasure of watching the fire and crackling wood, the fireplace also provides an additional source of heat.

At the same time, the fireplace also has its drawbacks, which were described in detail by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino .

Open flame can cause a fire, so anyone who decides to acquire such an “interior element” must take special precautions.

A fireplace requires careful maintenance, including cleaning out the ash and controlling the flames. You will also need to collect firewood.
