Wood stoves and fireplaces tend to become the focal point of a room, and even of a home. And they bring people together. In the cold winter months and on chilly evenings, it is often around the fire that people gather to create lasting memories. It is therefore important that this appliance fit into the decor, while also suiting the lifestyle and meeting the needs of the home’s occupants.
Whether you’re thinking of getting a wood stove or fireplace installed in the near future or want to spruce up your existing appliance and the room it’s in, get inspired by current trends.
Wood-burning fireplaces evoke warmth and elegance
Setting up a fireplace area lets you create a focal point in the room. The goal is to fashion a cozy, comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The latest trend is natural colours and materials, like a wood beam for the mantlepiece or field stone cladding. While very popular, wood cladding is not recommended for this project, as most wood stove and fireplace manufacturers require non-combustible materials within a certain radius of the appliance. For a similar effect, you could also opt for concrete that looks like wood. Several specialized companies, like Béton Architectural Johnstone, offer products with very realistic finishes, for a safe version of the look you had in mind. You could also make attractive log holders an integral part of your decor.
The important thing is to think minimalistic. Pick one element as the main focus. It could be your fireplace, a painting, a sculpture or other. You can beautify your fireplace area with a few decorative items, preferably in understated colours that call to mind natural materials like cotton and linen. For an uncluttered haven, pare down your options to only a few key objects. As for the overall colour scheme, the current trend is tone-on-tone (different shades of the same colour).
There are several combinations you can choose from to create a cozy cocoon. Select an original mantlepiece and decorative items that will showcase the play of the flames, exuding warmth and relaxation in the spirit of this year’s trends.
Wood-burning stoves create a relaxed and refined mood
Sleek, modern-looking wood stoves are very in and their minimalism complements all styles of decor. Select an appliance model and decor that best reflect your personality to add a one-of-a-kind touch to your home. With 80s furniture back in fashion, rattan chairs or an angular sofa will create a bold look. If you prefer more classic decor, featuring noble, natural materials like leather or marble, a contemporary wood stove will fit in beautifully.
One thing is certain, wood-burning stoves have become a design element, holding pride of place in a home’s gathering spaces. Beautiful, functional and timeless, modern wood stoves adapt to the activities of the house or cottage’s occupants. Some offer a variety of fire views while others are marvels of architectural design. There are even freestanding fireplaces that can become part of the furniture. They can be installed just as quickly and easily as a traditional wood stove, while offering a polished look that will turn heads.
Adding accessories around the stove will also enhance your decor while clearly defining the area. The portable log holders and floor-protecting hearth pads seen on the market over the last several years are as beautiful as they are practical. These two must-have elements reinvent the space while making your stove more commanding and giving it prestige.
Finally, whether you’re setting up a nook for your fireplace or your wood stove, the important thing is that it be inviting. Achieving harmony between your appliance, finishes and accessories will make you want to spend hours by the fire.

Your first step into the beautiful Wheatland Fireplace Kitchen & Bath Saskatoon showroom will help you understand why Wheatland Fireplace has been given the Thumbs up by Trusted Saskatoon as your exclusive Saskatoon fireplace store. Wheatland loves its customers and as a result, its customers love and TRUST them. In their latest fireplace tip, they share how to find the right sized gas fireplace for your home.
Typically, gas fireplaces are classified into four sizes – small, medium, large, and extra-large. As a basic benchmark, a small gas fireplace will heat less than 500 sq. ft., a medium gas fireplace will heat between 500 – 1,000 sq. ft, a large gas fireplace will heat between 1,000 – 2,200 sq. ft., and an extra-large gas fireplace will heat over 2,200+ sq. ft. These figures are based on an average size, single-story home in a moderate climate, and an open floor plan.
Pro Tip: Quickly measure the size of the space you are looking to heat to quickly and easily categorize the size of your fireplace needs by measuring the Length (L) and Width (W). L x W = Sq. Ft.
Standard Gas Fireplace Square Foot Heating Capacity
- Small Gas Fireplace: less than 500 sq. ft.
- Medium Gas Fireplace: 500 - 1,000 sq. ft.
- Large Gas Fireplace: 1,000 - 2,200 sq. ft.
- Extra-Large Gas Fireplace: 2,200+ sq. ft.
Note: this is simply a benchmark. A fireplace’s actual heating capacity will vary dramatically based on a high number of factors, see below for more details, and always discuss sizing and installation with an
Authorized Regency dealer.
Factors Affecting Gas Fireplace Heating Capacity?
There is a wide variety of factors that can influence the heating capacity of your gas fireplace, insert or stove, some of these include:
- Ceiling Height
- The total volume of the room can drastically change the heating capacity of a gas fireplace
- Insulation
- Older poorly insulated homes will decrease the heating capacity of a fireplace, whereas new highly insulated homes may increase the capacity of the fireplace
- Number of Windows
- Windows (even dual-pane) are a source of cooler air, and the more windows in a home/room, the greater the obstacle to the fireplaces heating capacity
- Room/Wall Layout
- Open rooms vs. homes with lots of walls will affect how effective the fireplace is at heating an area
- Other Vented Appliances
- Is there a hood vent in the same room as the fireplace? A dryer? Other appliances that require external venting can affect the draft and efficiency of your gas fireplace.

JOB Heating & Air Conditioning Saskatoon Are Trusted Saskatoon Air Conditioning Pros
Summer is around the corner, which means backyard BBQs, and enjoying time around the outdoor fireplace. Do you have a gas line installed properly to operate or are looking for an expert gas line installation? JOB Heating and Air Conditioning have been doing gas line installation for over 18 years in Saskatoon, Warman, Martinsville, and surrounding areas. We know the most cost-effective way to run a gas line for a BBQ, an outdoor fireplace, or a gas line for an indoor fireplace.
Avoid a Costly Mistake
A gas line installation in Saskatoon, from an indoor or outdoor fireplace or your barbecue, is best left up to the experts. Despite the very obvious and serious danger that an inexperienced gas line installation can present, some homeowners still attempt to do this job themselves just so they can save a few dollars.
Even if it appears to be straightforward to install a gas line from a YouTube video, there are many variables involved that only a trained professional will know how to identify and/or work with.
In an incident our professionals heard about years ago that involved a DIY gas line installation gone wrong, the homeowner failed to cap a section of the line and the ensuing explosion left the Arizona man and his wife in the hospital and their home destroyed. As tragic as this incident was, it could have been even worse.
