About ten years ago, fireplaces began to be sold en masse - these are beautiful fireboxes of different sizes, made with a variety of decorative finishes. Thanks to the variety of types of portals, such fireplaces began to be installed in almost all private homes. Their beauty and high safety (the firebox is closed under glass) attracted many. For several years, they successfully replaced ancient Russian stoves. Till today…

Russian stoves in the interior

A stove in the interior has great advantages compared to a fireplace: it retains and releases heat for a long time, it does not need to be lit often.

Many models of beautiful Russian stoves are particularly economical and easy to use. It is simply impossible not to adopt such a “miracle unit”. Considering that thoughtful design significantly changes the atmosphere in the house.

Design Features

A Russian stove is easy to recognize by its design features: traditionally it has a stove bench (polati), is quite massive, often with numerous shelves for various kitchen utensils. The cooking chamber is located deep in the oven, so a special grip and skill are required to cook food in it. The basis is a guard; there are usually two dampers for smoke. Between the cooking chamber and the mouth there is a gas threshold, a wall, thanks to which the combustion products are retained under the roof and utilized more completely.

The second important design element is the inflow. It can be completely ordinary or combined with a fireplace.

Also, all furnaces can be classified according to the size of the structure:

• small;
• average;
• big.

A small dacha is often equipped with a compact stove, but a huge country house can be complemented by an unusually large structure of complex design and ornate decor.

Advantages and disadvantages

The stove, conveying the old Russian style, will be an effective addition to many interior compositions. From the point of view of efficiency and functionality, this heating option also has many advantages:

• Long cooling time;
• Good heat conservation;
• High level of efficiency;
• Long service life;
• Design safety.

However, the shortcomings are worth mentioning. The most serious disadvantage is the heat generation higher than 1 m from the floor. However, some improved designs, which involve the installation of a special smoke circulation channel, also allow the floor to be heated.

Also, a stove as a heating device requires a specific type of raw material. Firewood needs to be found, purchased, delivered and storage space organized. Fuel consumption in models of any type is quite high. It is worth considering the fact that not every interior can fit into a stove project in an ethnic direction.

Fuel economy

Do-it-yourself stove This is the last criterion for potbelly stoves, which are used in modern apartments.
Long-burning designs have already been mentioned above. They are the most popular option today when it comes to installing a potbelly stove in an apartment. What is the design feature of this model? The thing is that the firebox of the device is divided into two parts - lower and upper. The separation boundary can be horizontal or angled. It all depends on what conditions for combustion of flue gases we are trying to achieve. When the boundary is placed at an angle, the combustion efficiency is slightly higher due to the higher gas concentration inside the narrowed part of the chamber.

In the lower firebox, wood or coal is usually smoldering. Oxygen-enriched flue gases burn at the top. Channels are specially installed to allow oxygen to enter the chamber. At the same time, there is one very important criterion that ensures complete combustion of fuel in the first chamber. The fuel must be placed correctly, that is, with a minimum number of gaps between its parts.

For example, if it is firewood, then it should be laid out horizontally in a row or in the form of a cage. The distance from the walls of the potbelly stove should be minimal. If the stove has a cylindrical shape, then in addition to horizontally laid logs, it is necessary to lay firewood in the vertical direction. They must be placed in the gaps between the walls of the unit and the corners of the stacked pyramid of firewood. In this state, a minimal amount of fresh air penetrates the firewood, but it is quite enough for the fuel to smolder.

The combustion gases flow through the outlet channels under the influence of physical laws upward into the second combustion chamber, where they burn, releasing additional heat.

Attention! One load of solid fuel is enough for a whole day. In potbelly stoves of traditional design, the fuel supply is enough for only a couple of hours.

Materials for the Russian stove

The design of a country house stove will largely depend on the material used. The traditional design was “sculpted” from clay. More modern models were created from brick. Stoves made of cast iron and steel also played an important role.

These are the so-called potbelly stoves. For many, they are associated with something unsightly and rude, but the modern range of mobile and compact heating devices allows you to choose quite sophisticated options.

Brick

Beautiful brick stoves for the home are the dream of true romantics and fans of Slavic flavor. A special advantage of the structures is the “breathable” material. A brick fireplace is a specific microporous body. It releases moisture vapor into the air, and when it cools, it takes it back. A stone heating unit is not capable of this.

A well-designed stove is useful for both heating and cooking. Many models of brick Russian stoves also work as a barbecue or grill.

You can build a brick stove in a small country house or in a luxurious spacious cottage. However, it is better to trust the laying of any type of structure to professionals, avoiding dubious experiments with stove-making amateurs.

Clay

A simple log house of poor people was always complemented by a clay stove. In the modern format, only finishing is made from this material and the sunbed is lubricated. Such a fireplace stove will look luxurious in the interior of a wooden house in a rustic style.

If the heating product is made exclusively on clay, then it will need to be constantly restored. It is necessary to grease and plaster at least once a year.

Cast iron

A wood-burning fireplace made of cast iron has amazing heating properties. The traditional potbelly stove appeared in the 19th century. Initially, such stoves were actively used by the Danes and Germans, and then by the Slavs.

A cast iron fireplace is like a fire: it warms you to the bone if you are in close proximity to it. If you move a decent distance away, the heat will be very soft and delicate. It does not dry out the air.

It is worth noting the disadvantages. Even a relatively small stove with cast iron elements will be very heavy. Huge structures are so heavy that they require strengthening the foundation (in some cases). In addition, cast iron is quite expensive when it comes to expensive materials.

A simple potbelly stove in the interior of a miniature wooden house will always look very stylish. A small unit with ornate “old-fashioned” decor and wooden log walls, a cozy blanket with embroidery and original patterns, indoor flowers - all this will give a person a feeling of calm, relaxation and privacy.

Steel

By analogy with classic cast-iron structures, steel stoves began to be produced. In large units, some elements (for example, the firebox) are replaced with steel ones.

Almost always, the fireboxes of steel furnaces can be lined - they are laid out with fireclay bricks. This is necessary to give the fabric greater heat resistance. You can additionally install tiles on the steel body. It is very fashionable to decorate fireboxes with natural or artificial stone.

Steel structures are much lighter than cast iron prototypes. They are much cheaper, much more mobile in terms of movement (if we are talking about devices like potbelly stoves).

Tile - man-made beauty

This is a beauty created from different types of clay. The manufacturing technology came from ancient Babylon and has survived to this day. The tile is a box shape, thanks to which heat retention increases significantly.

This is a piece and expensive finishing material. In past centuries, only very wealthy people could cover a stove with tiles.

Beautiful boxes, each with an individual design, were incredibly expensive, but were in great demand.

Nowadays, tiles are also popular.

Additional materials

Auxiliary parts and additional materials for a traditional Russian stove are not only functional elements, but also serve as effective decor. When working on the creation and design of a stove with a stove bench, you may need the following:

• brick;
• sand;
• accessories for stoves;
• grate;
• valves;
• corners;
• fireclay slabs;
• fireclay brick;
• tile;
• ceramics;
• stone cladding;
• basalt insulation.

The old Russian stove is very economical in everyday life. She will decorate a modern country cottage, and housewives will appreciate her ability to prepare original dishes.

Porcelain tiles

Its creation dates back to the 80s of the last century. Porcelain stoneware is intended not only for finishing stoves, but is also widely used in construction. To produce it, several types of special clay are required with the addition of quartz sand, various types of natural dyes and a fine fraction of marble or granite.

The whole mass is well kneaded and pressed at fairly high temperatures under pressure. The result is a durable product that is not afraid of strong impacts and high temperatures, and retains heat well.

This is a monolithic material that can be given any color during manufacturing.

Thanks to modern technologies, porcelain stoneware can be made in the form of majolica, terracotta or tiles. The cost of such material is not high in comparison with the original ones.

Features of masonry

A modern country house requires a special approach to the laying and design of such a complex and powerful heating unit. First they make a backfill - a chamber. It acts as a kind of battery, retaining heat in the house.

The cooking chamber is covered with a roof. It is designed strictly according to the formwork - plank or metal. When laying bricks, they are placed on both sides at once. The angle of inclination will depend on the shape of the arch. This is necessary so that the load is evenly distributed throughout the structure. At the end of the work, the master forms a wedge castle from brick.

The chimney is installed in the furnace itself. The height of the element must be higher than 5 m from the level of the blind hearth. There are no horizontal sections or turns needed. A well-formed vertical (like for a fireplace) is enough.

Historical reference

The presence of a Russian stove has become a real legend - previously such heating structures were installed in every private house. They have become an integral part of Russian folklore. Even today it is difficult to find a replacement for a Russian stove, taking into account its reliability!

It is not known exactly when they began installing similar structures for heating homes in Russia. According to approximate data, their prototypes appeared 4 thousand years ago, when people decided to equip their house with the ability to make a fire hidden under clay materials.

Stove in a rural wooden house

However, the usual version appeared only in the 18th century. Then they were made of bricks with fire-resistant properties, they had chimneys. At that time, such structures were placed exclusively in the corners of huts, not far from the front door. It was permissible to leave a small space between the wall and the stove, where various kitchen utensils were stored.

Where is a Russian stove installed?

In ancient times, at the stage of building houses, they first of all determined where the stove would be located in the house, as well as the bathhouse on the estate. And if not everyone had steam rooms, then they simply could not do without a heating unit.

When choosing the optimal location, the operating principle of the stove, the possibility of further connection of the chimney and ease of maintenance during operation are taken into account. Fire breaks must be calculated - the distance between heating surfaces and walls made of flammable materials.

If the cottage is small, then it is better to place the stove as centrally as possible in the house. The same rule is relevant if the country house is entirely wooden.

In the living room

If the house is large and has many rooms, the ideal place to install the stove is the living room (even if we are not talking about traditional large units, but about miniature potbelly stoves or modern electric fireplaces).

For a large house it is better to create brick structures. Such a stove will warm up spacious rooms well. Typically, the living room is the center of the home.

By placing a stove in it, you can warm up all the rooms. Of course, the design will take quite a lot of time, but it is at the planning stage that it is important to take into account all the subtleties.

For example, to heat a village house consisting of four rooms, the stove is placed at the junction of the two main rooms. The “antique” format of the stove – with a stove bench – will look good in the living room.

Installation in the kitchen

Installation in the kitchen is the second common option for placing a stove in the traditional Russian style. As a rule, this technique is used in several cases:

• Only one room needs to be heated. Usually this is the kitchen or remote living room. A similar need arises when there is a good heating system throughout the house (for example, a gas boiler with a water circuit) and there is a shortage of heat in one of the rooms. Often, it is the kitchen that is being completed or its main structural components are being changed, which requires additional heating.
• A stylish Dutch or Russian “mazanka” skillfully emphasizes a thoughtful interior. Experiments with gastronomic-themed decor and decorations in ethnic style very often go well with the decoration of expensive kitchen locations in country, ethnic, and rustic styles.
• The stove plays the role not so much of a heating device, but rather of a device for cooking. A well-formed design and skillfully selected place will allow you to bake delicious pies, heat a vat of water, experiment with a device with an original barbecue system or grill.

The stove in the kitchen is also located in very small houses. In this case, it is the heating element that becomes the “hot heart” of the whole house. The well-thought-out design of the stove helps to correctly delimit space and divide a compact location into zones.

Do it yourself

In order to cover a brick stove with tiles with your own hands, you need to carry out preparatory work and prepare the tools needed for the job:

• rack level and plumb line;
• construction trowel and spatula;
• paint brush (it’s better to take a wide one);
• special tile cutter;
• a hammer or mallet with a rubber top;
• a brush with metal bristles;
• convenient container for the solution;
• fireproof heat-resistant adhesive.

This article will help you deal with the repair of a brick stove:

Decorating a stove with tiles is not an easy process, so professionals are invited for such work, but laying tiles can be done by an owner with good hands.

1. To begin with, the stove is cleaned of the mortar remaining after laying. This is best done with a wire brush and rubbing with a damp rag or sponge.
2. Cover and secure a special metal mesh over the entire surface (mesh size no more than 20mm). Self-tapping screws or nails are used as fasteners.
3. The structure with the mesh is plastered with mortar, leveled and allowed to dry. At the end of drying, when the solution no longer cracks, the oven is heated well.
4. They begin to glue the tiles. Masters recommend starting from the corners and bottom rows. To make the rows even, use a level and crosses.
5. The simplest and most enjoyable stage is grouting the joints and applying a heat-resistant compound. Before grouting the seams, allow the entire structure to dry for about three days. After this, you can remove all construction debris and wash the tiles.

How to decorate a stove

There is nothing more original than the use of authentic materials and extravagant techniques in the design of modern apartments. The design of the Russian stove is quite unusual and can complement the beautiful design of the room.

If once the stove played a functional role and was the “center of everyday life” in a home, now its purely aesthetic role has increased. An impressively designed and decorated stove will enrich any modern interior.

Considering the fact that stoves can also be placed on the street, the entire private sector is transformed as soon as a cozy and “elegant” fireplace appears on the site.

Decorating the stove with tiles

Tiles are three-dimensional ceramic tiles that are used for finishing stoves, facades of buildings, and any other structures. The decoration has one distinctive feature - the rump. This is a box with holes through which the decor is attached to the wall.

Tiles come with a smooth surface and a relief canvas, plain and painted with bright patterns, rectilinear design and complex shapes. The decor can be turned into a monochromatic elegant panel or you can create a complex colorful installation with an abundance of decorative techniques.

A special artistic merit of such jewelry is majolica, which can change color at different times of the day. The decoration will show its qualities well in spacious, bright rooms.

The design of a Russian stove using tiled elements has the following advantages:

• Hygiene. They do not accumulate dust and dirt, do not darken over time and are not deformed. The special composition of the glaze does not allow soot and carbon deposits to penetrate inside the decorative ball.
• Highest level of heat capacity. The current eco-friendly format of modern rational heating of housing involves the use of only those heating devices whose efficiency is as high as possible. Tiled decor has a special heat capacity, improving the technical characteristics of the stove as a whole.
• Long heat dissipation. The oven cools down much more slowly.

Decorating a Russian stove with tiles is a complicated matter. Not every stove maker will undertake such work. Ideally, several specialists are involved in the work at once - an experienced stove maker or ceramist, as well as an architect or designer artist.

Plaster and paint

A classically plastered stove looks beautiful and cozy. There are many reasons why the old format of finishing heating units has retained its relevance today:

• Plaster allows you to level even a crooked structure, making the stove more elegant and attractive;
• A beautiful finish gives the old structure a fresh look.
• A large number of types of plastering and a solid range of materials allow us to implement any design project.

The easiest way to decorate a stove after plastering is to whitewash it.
You can do this yourself. A cheap and simple method will not allow you to use the stove to its full potential, since the bleached surfaces will get dirty. Another option (more practical) is the use of paints. If you cover the fireplace with oil and enamel compounds, you can increase heat transfer. Glossy and shiny paints work in the opposite direction. Formulations containing oil may darken under prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

Decorating the stove with tiles

Tiles are an expensive design material for finishing stoves. There is an excellent alternative (more attractive in terms of pricing) - tiles. Tiles or ceramics are presented in such a wide range that such decorative elements can be found in any form. They are suitable for creating unimaginable panels and complex decoration.

Another alternative option is porcelain stoneware or artificial stone. This is a relatively inexpensive material that looks magical in any interior.

The slightly rough textured background is complemented by wooden decorative elements. It turns out very colorful.

Decorate with household items

There are a lot of options for designing a stove in terms of decorative elements. It all depends on the specific stylistic direction in which the stove itself is presented:

• "a la russe";
• hut;
• tower;
• Noble Nest;
• estate in neoclassical format.

An apartment or house decorated using several stylistic concepts at once looks even more interesting. If desired, even a boiler or fireplace corner can be decorated in an incredible way.

Beauty majolica

The tiles, painted with bright fiery colors and covered with a durable layer of glaze, came from the Mediterranean. Ancient Roman traders brought it from Mallorca. The area was famous for its tin-lead painting on ceramic tiles and pottery.

Glazing serves as another layer that retains heat inside the finishing material, so majolica was in demand as an excellent type of cladding.

Only wealthy people could decorate their stoves with such beauty.

A la russe

The “a la russe” style involves the use of traditional authentic elements of Russian life. Once upon a time, classics were written about stoves with such decor. Shelves were placed near the whitewashed hearth.

Wood is an absolute favorite. The main decorative elements are samovars, brooms and spinning wheels, animal skins (not exotic) and towels with embroidered ornaments. It is not at all necessary to decorate the stove with drawings. A perfect white background is enough.

Partitions

The interior of the kitchen and living room begins to be thought out from the junction of the two zones.

• Here are some of the ways and objects that delimit space:
• installation of a bar counter;
• kitchen island;
• big table;
• installation of a low partition.

Designers advise installing a wide counter, since you can sit at it like at a regular table, and high chairs are quite suitable for the whole family.

However, in small rooms (16 sq m), narrow counters are installed. Kitchen islands are convenient to use, but are only suitable for large kitchen-dining rooms (25 sq m or 30 sq m). Capital low partitions are installed only if it has been decided in advance what they will be used for (for example, as a TV stand).

Russian hut and tower

The stylistic concept of “Russian hut” involves the use of wood. It can only be an imitation, but it must be skillful and thoughtful. In some ways, this direction is reminiscent of a loft, but it is much more dynamic and elegant than the “concrete jungle” style. The main difference from the previous style is that each decorative element has its own functional purpose.

A house in the “Russian tower” style is radically different from other styles. Planning plays an important role here. In villages, many people still decorate their yard in this style. Key features: the presence of garden decor, bright colors, ornate carvings, an abundance of tiles, colorful patterns, bright decor.

Layout of houses with a stove

A new home project with stove heating always involves making difficult decisions. Before considering a specific construction plan, it is necessary not only to determine the size of the total area, but also to consider the number and convenient location of living rooms. In addition, it doesn’t hurt to decide on the material from which the future home will be made.

Compact one-room house

The building consists of one living room measuring 15 square meters. There is a stove in the middle, next to which there is a kitchen with an area of ​​8 m2. The last heated room is the bathroom. There is a veranda at the front of the house.

Flaws

1. Not suitable for a family of three or more.
2. The veranda is not heated, which means it is not used in the winter.

Two-room wooden house

This plan includes two living rooms, bathrooms and a terrace. The house is shaped like a square with a side of 9 m. The stove is installed in such a way that all rooms are heated. This project uses wood as a base for the walls, ceiling and floor. The wooden structure does not allow cold to pass through and retains heat well.

Advantages

1. The project includes a dryer in the hallway and a warm bed in the bedroom.
2. A lined Russian stove effectively accumulates heat and releases it slowly. Paired with the thermal insulation properties of wood, the result is an economical heating option.
3. A dryer in the hallway is useful in the winter season. It allows you to dry clothes and shoes, and also helps keep the whole house warm.
4. The oven has a stove on which you can cook. In the summer, you don’t have to operate the entire system, using only the stove.

Flaws

1. Space is still limited.
2. There is no separate living room or kitchen.

Three-room building layout

A more serious project, which is designed for a large family. And although the house is large, the proper location of the heat source can equally warm each room. Two bedrooms and a living room have access to hot walls. The only unheated places are the storage room and the bathroom. Just as in the previous case, the kitchen is combined with the living room.

Advantages

1. There is a lot of free space, there are separate bedrooms. One can be equipped as a children's room.
2. Proper distribution of work space, there are no empty useless rooms or extensions.
3. The corridor is combined with the kitchen, which means light will penetrate well there. In addition, this approach visually increases the volume of the room.
4. The pantry has no windows or active heating, which means it is perfect for storing food. It can serve as a cellar.

Flaws

1. The bathroom is not heated. A cold bath or toilet can be uncomfortable.
2. The corridor does not close, which means some of the heat from the kitchen will escape through the front door.

These are the main projects, variations of which are usually included in the catalog of winter houses with a Russian stove. These buildings have their pros and cons. You need to choose the right option for yourself. If the building meets the necessary requirements, life in it will become quite comfortable and economical.

Building your own home in most cases begins with desire. And also after the moment comes when a person realizes that he can afford to build a country property. In such cases, there is often only a rough idea of ​​what the interior of the building should look like, what systems will be used, etc. While working with builders, many questions arise, one of which concerns the method of heating the premises. And if a stove is chosen as the main heat source, then how to design a house? Let's consider options with different oven sizes.

Other directions

Traditional Russian stoves with couches in modern apartments are often decorated in ethnic styles, very far from Slavic symbols. The most fashionable formats are oriental and Mexican.

The Russian stove in the interior of houses is a wonderful element that decorates the location and gives the room a unique atmosphere of comfort and homely warmth. With the help of the right design and well-chosen decor, you can turn your home into a real work of art.

Design

A fireplace stove can perfectly solve any interior problems. A corner stove saves space and fits into almost any design. For the Art Nouveau style, you can choose a fireplace with panoramic glazing and give it the leading role by installing it in the center of the room. A fireplace built into the wall will only emphasize the exclusivity of the high-tech design. A traditional stove with a stove bench will decorate a Russian-style home.

Regardless of whether it is a cast iron fireplace stove or a stone stove, it will be able to bring a special atmosphere to the kitchen. You can not only enjoy cooking, but also relax while contemplating the sight of the flames in the oven.

The classic style of the interior involves a U-shaped fireplace, decorated with ornaments or columns. It usually has a shelf for decorative items and wrought iron grilles. When decorating a classic fireplace, marble, granite or natural decorative stone are used.

Country style is characterized by a D-shaped fireplace with a niche for firewood and decorative beams that can be used as shelves. To make the entire interior look harmonious, in a room with a fireplace you can put wicker furniture, a textile sofa, and decorate with hand-made items.

A fireplace stove, regardless of its size and properties, can bring a joyful and cozy atmosphere to your home.

Types of designs that are used today

Gas, electric and solid fuel boilers are the main heating devices in country cottages and private houses. Some connoisseurs of everything ultra-modern use solar panels for these purposes. But still, a large percentage of residents of the private sector use an old Russian stove to heat their premises.

Until the 19th century, stoves in village huts and even in noble mansions were a box for burning fuel with a hob, a stove bench, and sometimes an oven. For owners of a modern home, overflowing with newfangled household appliances, a Russian stove in the interior is more of a decorative detail than a practical one. Today, the range of designs has expanded and is represented by such structures.

A large percentage of private sector residents use an ancient Russian stove to heat their premises.

Nowadays, the stove acts as a decorative element

1. “Dutch” - intended exclusively for heating rooms, is a compact one- or two-tier vertical structure with a chimney. This type is rarely found in modern buildings due to its inexpediency (it is easier to heat apartments using a central heating system - pipes and radiators).
2. A Russian stove in a stove bench is a mandatory attribute of a village hut in Rus'. The firebox located in the lower part of the structure heated its upper part, and in the middle there was a cast-iron hob. The chimney in such a system is duct.
3. “Shvedka” is an improved and simplified version of the traditional Russian stove, which is characterized by high efficiency while saving fuel. The “Swedish” can be equipped with a hob, a stove bench, and a platform for drying food (berries, mushrooms).

Each type can be built from scratch or an outdated version can be reconstructed. In order for a Russian stove to perform its functions 100%, the structure must be positioned correctly.

Results

Regardless of interior styles, the Russian stove has found its use, if not in a classic form, then in various variations. The latter can successfully cope with both practical and aesthetic functions. And even in the modern design of a country house, there may be a place for an element of Russian culture, which was often used by our ancestors to prevent various diseases.

Everyone can find their own version of decorating a country house using a Russian stove. However, you should not lay the stove yourself, even to save money. It is best to order the manufacture of a stove from a master who has completed several orders and can do everything with high quality. Then such a stove will be absolutely safe and will be able to perform all its assigned functions.
