Settling in for an evening in front of the fire with your loved ones, TV or even a good book, is a scene in which we all take delight. Add a glass of wine or mulled wine to help warm yourself from the inside out and chase the cold away. We love sitting in front of an open fire so much we wanted to highlight a couple of convenient storage solutions.

No-one wants a messy pile of logs in their sitting room, falling and rolling onto the carpet! Keep your log-pile tidy of with a log crate. Available in large and small sizes, this handy use of the vintage crate makes storage of your logs both practical and stylish. These Log Crates come with handles, making topping up the log pile easy. Add some personalisation and make the log crate uniquely yours!

With the log storage sorted, let’s move on to the wine. Keep a stock of wine to hand with a wooden wine rack! Made from repurposed crates – all of which are made from recycled, fully sustainable wood sources – our large rack holds up to 10 bottles. For smaller kitchens, we also have a small rack, which holds 6 bottles and fits nicely on any worktop. Need to store more bottles? The racks stack wonderfully, meaning the only limit is the space you have available.

Don’t forget friends and family too, these Crates make brilliant gifts!! Now all you need is to find a good mulled wine recipe, grab a mince pie (or two – we won’t tell) and you have everything you need to while away those long autumn evenings!
