Whether it’s the crackling sound of burning logs or the earthy small of timber in the home, wood-burning fireplaces have a tendency to elicit emotions and memories associated with nature and nostalgia. As the winter season is soon upon us, Design Dispatch singles out six stand-out fireplaces available through local retailers that are every bit as effective as they are eye-catching.
