Shopping guide: 7 of the best stoves to keep you cosy all winter long.
If you have been following my blog for a while you’ll know how much I love a cosy home. In fact one of the first things I renovated in my own home was a complete heating overhaul which taught me a few lessons about heating hacks! Now, I’m always on the lookout for ways to keep my home warm and stylish. And one way to do this is with a beautiful stove.
Let me introduce you to Arada Stoves – they’re fireplace experts, who make stoves in a wide range of colours and designs that will work for any style of home.
Their stove designs are super-efficient and cleaner than traditional open fires, wood burning or multi-fuel stoves. Based in the rural Devon, Arada Stoves have been producing British-made wood and multi-fuel stoves for over 30 years, so they know their stuff.
Let’s get cosy with my pick of the top 7 stoves from their range.
7 of the best stoves For A Cosy Home
1. Good For Small Homes – The Hardy Stove
The Hardy stove was designed with compact living areas in mind, so why not place this mini stove on a chunky slate hearth for an edgy look.
You can also burn different types of fuel in the Hardy stove. It is part of their Hamlet collection which offers a choice of freestanding and inset styles, all of which are designed to give you the freedom to choose between burning solid fuel or wood.
Available in a choice of two sizes, the Hardy’s outputs range from 4.2 – 5kW ensuring that cosy living spaces are heated evenly and effectively throughout the winter months.
It has an impressive A+ energy rating, meaning that the appliance will run at top efficiently and therefore be more cost-effective to operate in the long run – great if you are on a tight budget. So nifty!
2. Good For Space Saving – The Farringdon Catalyst
Make a statement with an elegant freestanding stove in a neat, slim-line shape with Farringdon Catalyst Eco (above). It’s the most efficient high output stoves in the Arada range, boasting a maximum output of 11.4kW. And it comes with a detachable wooden handle.
The best bit is you can choose the stand style for optional log storage under the stove itself. Ideal for smaller homes that still want that real fire experience.
You always could do what I did – and have a fireplace in your living spaces, then keep your kitchen cosy with underfloor heating (you can read my review HERE).

On your mantelpiece create a simple display with a mirror resting against the wall, simple candlesticks and an evergreen cutting in a vase. Wayfair have a hex mirror just like this one for £100. At your hearth, fill a wicker basket with logs and make an arrangement from cottons stems.
