Home in rustic style
Homemade rural stoves served not only for heating, but also for cooking. Today, the home fireplace has lost its previous purpose. In very rare cases, it is used to cook meat on charcoal, not to mention other foods. Now it is part of the interior, creating a feeling of security, warmth and coziness in the house.
Usually, household centers are built only in country houses, since their construction in a city apartment, even designed in the style of rustic, is very problematic. Therefore, in apartments where the interior of the living room is decorated in country, usually use artificial hearths.
Constructively any fireplace consists of 3 parts: a portal, a firebox and a chimney.
The portal, or outdoor part, of this furnace in rural style, is made of brick or natural stone. The front surface of the country fireplace, in contrast to classical furnaces of this type, is usually plastered and covered with lime whitewash. Another option for exterior decoration is chamotte tiling with hand-made or stylized tiles. Excessive details in the decoration of the outer stove portal will make it completely different from the rustic one.
More refined country fires are fireplaces in the style of the Mediterranean rustic. Note that the Mediterranean rustic is a special genre of country style.

In the decoration of portals of the ovens of this type of country often use such porous natural materials as sandstone, tuff, shell rock. Their color creates a slightly different, sensual, less reserved atmosphere in the fireplace room. This design of the portal also suggests a more diverse range of colors for the entire interior of the room where the hearth is located. Dominant colors in this interior: red, brown, yellow in various shades.
Fireplace shelves and fireboxes
Another feature, which has a fireplace in the style of the country, is the production of a fireplace shelf not of stone, but of a wooden (most often oak) beam of large cross-section. On the shelf often put decorations in the national style, family photos, which emphasizes the spirit of the family nature of such a structure as a home fireplace.

In a traditional fireplace, made in any style, the furnace is open. It is made of firebrick or stone. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly common to use ready-made cast-iron furnaces, and the furnace mantle is covered with screens of refractory glass. Such innovations make the fireplace less fire dangerous. But at the same time, the authentic rural style of the home is lost.
The home chimney in the country style is also usually painted white. It can be any other pastel color that fits into the overall color of the interior of the room.
Outdoor Fireplaces
The construction of street fires does not make much sense, if not make them an oven for cooking barbecue, shish kebabs and other food. After all, the tail of a fish just caught in the neighboring river (or even in its own pond), fish or roast from game, cooked on an open fire "with a smoke", have a completely different taste than cooked on a gas stove.
Therefore, today's hotbeds are often not made in the form of fireplaces, but in the form of French-American barbecue, Asian brazier or Russian street oven. And even more often do "three in one."
If we are talking about a fireplace in the Russian style, then it is mainly attached to the wall of the house, baths, outbuildings or built in a garden gazebo. The fireplace can be made of brick, wild or natural (subjected to a certain processing) stone.
The design of a street fireplace is quite simple. There is no need for a chimney of a complex configuration. Usually it is a straight pipe that comes out vertically from the furnace.
The Russian oven is characterized by a white color. Therefore, usually a street fireplace, like a home fireplace, plaster and whiten. If it is a fireplace in another genre of country style, then the color of the fireplace will remain the color of a natural stone.
If you combine a street oven from a brick, then with its ignition in the winter cold or during a rain problems can arise. If the hearth is built of natural stone, then it can ignite the fire in any bad weather, because this material minimally absorbs moisture. With a merry spark, for which I want to watch without end, to pass the time even in bad weather will be a real pleasure.
