Do you like the crackle of logs on an open fire? If you do, you aren’t alone – fireplaces and wood burning stoves are popular features in any home, traditional or contemporary. 

Unfortunately, storing the logs is often a challenge. If you have a rustic design scheme, piles of fresh cut logs may be just what you’re looking for. On the other hand, they can easily look out of place in a contemporary arrangement. Worse still, they tend to fall down, use up space, and leave bits of mud and bark all over the place. 

Luckily, you can get log holders with a more practical design. This photograph is of a contemporary log store and carrier by Fallen Fruits. It is more practical than a log pile; it uses lots of vertical space which keeps the footprint small. You can also use the handle at the top to move logs in from a wood store. 

The log store has a black metal frame put together with bolts, so it would fit right in if your room has industrial elements. On the other hand, its slim, dark and geometric form is simple enough to blend into lots of other schemes as well, especially tucked into an ingelnook and filled with fresh cut logs. If you’re tired of collapsing log piles, something like this is well worth a look.
