------- NEW PODCAST -------

Maria started a new podcast about simple living, faith, decluttering, etc.

Once the weather starts getting colder, having our firewood indoors will come in pretty handy. But without the right storage rack, things can become a mess.

So, we’ve gathered 23 of the best indoor firewood storage racks to help keep your home warm and tidy.

Under-The-Stairs Storage

The first design on our list is this clever under-the-stairs storage that follows and fills the shape of the staircase.

The space under our stairs is often overlooked but they have so much potential to be another functional part of our home.

You can choose between an open or closed storage concept for this design. With the latter, you can conceal the firewood when they’re not needed.

Geometric Stands

Here’s another modern design that uses geometric concepts to create a sharp and contemporary look.

The main firewood storage uses triangles and negative space to make the hourglass shape. To its right, we can find more storage under the seat.

Make your indoor firewood storage an integral part of your interior design and aesthetic by using interesting shapes and styles.

Take a look at this hexagonal masterpiece. The wooden compartments come together to form this eye-catching honeycomb design.

It takes your firewood storage up a notch and turns it into a decorative piece as well.

You can use different shapes and come up with a new configuration. You can even add more storage units to create a bigger structure.

What about this fun design? Its complex appearance can make it stand as a statement piece of your living area.

This structure is not only intriguing but it’s also quite efficient since it lets you store a ton of logs in such a pretty way.

Play into the artistic aspect of this piece and surround it with more artwork and decor. It’ll make your interior livelier.

Woven Storage

Let’s cozy it up with this rustic woven firewood storage in a traditional home. It definitely makes the interior more laid-back and warm.

The design cleverly uses natural materials to store more natural materials! Additionally, the woven patterns and curved shape add a gentle touch to the space.

Just be careful of this item’s placement. Don’t put it too close to the fire to avoid any mishaps.

Barrel Shelves

Got any unused barrels lying around?

Great! You can turn them into shelves for a creative way of storing your firewood.

Simply cut them into two’s or three’s (depending on your preferred thickness) and mount them on the wall or stack them together.

This design hack hits two birds with one stone by allowing you to repurpose your barrels while producing new ways of implementing storage into your home.

Black Metal Racks

Well, what about those who are going for an industrial look? One of the best ways to achieve that aesthetic is by using black metal shelves.

This simple design curves at the bottom for a less harsh look and for it to have a more relaxed fit in your interior.

You can use this structure in any corner of your home and any odd spaces that could use a feature to fill them up.

On the other hand, to save some floor space, consider mounting a metal rack! This charming living space does just that and it looks incredible!

This design is best for tight spaces and for interiors with bare walls. The mounted rack doubles as storage and decor.

The higher position of the firewood rack also makes reaching for the logs a bit easier. So, consider its height for a smoother experience.

Here’s another version of the design in an endearing rustic home. The metal shelf itself is tighter and sleeker but it still goes quite well with the cabin interior.

Aside from the usefulness of the design, the metal material complements the wooden walls and adds a hint of contrast to the overall space.

If you want to decorate it a bit, place a few trinkets and decor on the topmost ledge.

Firewood Crate

In this graceful home, we can see a lovely firewood crate in the living area instead of the usual coffee table.

This is a great way of having a centerpiece that is both stunning and functional!

I love how you can customize this design with a little wooden plaque and a quote of your liking. It is also quite a practical choice since you can use any wooden crate you have at home.

Log Carrier Stand

This brilliant design will make your wood collecting and storing a much smoother process. You can simply place your firewood onto this log carrier stand and you’re done!

The wooden stand already follows the shape of a log carrier and has it as a built-in feature, which means you can empty out your firewood in it or store a separate log carrier on it too. 

There are also other versions with metal stands for a sturdier and more fireproof option if you want to keep it near the flames.

In this version, we get just the metal frame but it also showcases how it would hold your log carrier quite efficiently.

This is also a more compact example that can fit into smaller corners and offers a sleeker look to your interior. 

I advise getting a design that has a holder for the tongs, shovels, and pokers too. Then, you’d have all your fireplace tools in one spot.

Metal Log Holder

We’ve got some more metal firewood storage for you here. This log holder gives you an aesthetically pleasing way of keeping logs in small corners.

It also has two handles so you can easily carry it and move it around the fireplace. 

Consider the dimensions of your firewood storage as well so you can have it perfectly fit into any spots or corners for a more compact look.

Here’s a smaller but longer one that can frame the front of your fireplace without blocking the view of the flames, keeping you and your firewood toasty in the process.

The design lays out the logs in a more accessible way and makes sure you don’t have too much stock by the fireplace.

To make the structure more interesting, you can also get it in a bold color or paint over it yourself. Then, you’d also get a statement piece.

How about this U-shaped one? It displays a captivating modern design that will embellish your living space splendidly.

Even when it’s empty it can serve as decor to your interior!  You can place other decorative pieces around it too.

It’s a fitting look for the sleek glass fireplace behind it. So, think about firewood storage designs that match the aesthetic of your fireplace so they can complement each other.

Box Log Holder

Furniture takes up most of the space in our homes, so why not optimize them for storage to save some space instead?

Where else have you seen firewood storage you can also sit on? The bright design idea maximizes your furniture and adds more purpose to them.

You can find several pieces with storage incorporated in them but if you want to customize one yourself, just remember to get it upholstered for comfier seating.

Curved Iron Log Holder

If you don’t want your firewood storage hanging around on the floor, opt for a wall-mounted design like this instead.

The iron stand ensures you have a durable stand and compartment to carry your logs effectively and in a visually appealing way.

It leverages the vertical space of your home and is also a stylish addition to your walls!

Firewood Racks

Sometimes, your desired storage solution can be as simple as this wood and metal rack that sits tall beside the fireplace.

The straightforward design impressively stores a lot of firewood and makes the fireplace look extra snappy.

I adore the fact that there’s a top layer where you can place a houseplant or any ornament to decorate the feature.

For those who want balance, we give you this symmetrical design. It contains two identical metal racks on either side of the fireplace.

Aside from giving you even more storage for your firewood, they also partner well with the wall lamps above them.

I suggest displaying your favorite photos or trinkets on the ledge of the fireplace to personalize the design.

Check out this creative design hack. It uses a tall and narrow metal rack to store chopped logs and even functions as a divider for the space by creating this little wooden wall.

This design will also motivate you to keep your firewood storage full since leaving it unfilled would mean a less effective partition for the areas it separates.

Just choose the right height and width for your desired partition. It can be as tall as a full wall or as small as a coffee table.

Square Wood Stacker

INSTAGRAM @unearthedgarden

This bright reading nook proudly displays a square wood stacker shelf with wooden logs tucked in its base.

The structure adds a modern touch to the comfy nook and holds the logs snuggly. It’s also quite easy on the eyes.

It’s a great idea but I recommend placing it near the fireplace or at least have another one like it solely for storing firewood.

Wire Basket

Here’s an adorable idea: store small logs in an aesthetically pleasing wire grid basket! You can get a couple of these for just a few dollars but the results are priceless.

It’s a chic and dainty alternative to the usual firewood storage. It can even double as a decorative piece. 

It would be best to match the metal to your interior design, so check whether a copper, silver, black, or rose gold finish would complement your color scheme before buying.

Black Firewood Shelf

Lastly, we present this simple and reliable shelf design that will keep your firewood stored neatly.

What’s great about this structure is that you probably already have one at home! Just give it a few touch-ups and voila! Your shelf gets a new purpose and a cozy spot beside the fireplace.

Customize the stand as you please– paint it a new color or apply some varnish to revamp it.
