Wood is one of the most versatile materials in the world, and as a result features strongly in the contemporary interior – there are many types and colours of wood to suit every modern home, and thus there are many modern wood fireplaces on the market. Wood evokes those feelings of warmth and comfort that everybody yearns for in the home, regardless of whether their décor is traditional or minimalist.
West Country Fires have a good selection of modern wood fireplaces, such as the Cortina. This stylishly simple solid wood contemporary mantel is made to a high standard by Trent fireplaces, and is available in a range of wood finishes. The Cortina will make a worthy focal point in any modern home, and West Country sell a wide range of back panels and hearths that will complement this surround beautifully.
The Estoril is a wonderfully classic fireplace with a modern twist, in the neo-classical design. This lovely wood fireplace comes complete with matching black hearth, and, like the Cortina, is available in a range of wood finishes. The Umbria mantel is simple yet elegant, and features a gracefully curving fireplace opening. It comes in a range of wood finishes and, although made from MDF, a solid hardwood version is available. Contact West Country Fires for prices and any other enquiries.
Emsworth Fireplaces have been manufacturing fireplaces since 1934. They manufacture a wide range of fireplaces, both traditional and modern, and also manufacture and supply dog baskets, hob grates and solid fuel stoves.

The Chiddingly is shown on the website in warm oak, and features beautiful wood markings. Like the Estoril, the Chiddingly is a modern mantelpiece with a classic twist, and will look at home in any modern interior.
