INTER IORS
FPHS also offers a range of pellet stoves and burners, which are a clean and efficient alternative to a classic wood-burning stove. Creating minimal smoke output and using fuel made from a renewable source of recycled waste wood, pellet burners are kind to the environment and offer convenient and user-friendly warmth to your home – and with the government prohibiting the sale of wet wood and house coal as of February 2021, there’s an extra incentive for cleaner alternatives to wood-burning stoves and coal fires. If you decide to invest in any kind of stove, advises Anna, make sure you get a site survey by a HETAS engineer, have a dry place to store fuel and, once installed, clean it regularly and ensure the chimney is swept annually. For finishing touches, a hidden homewares gem in Cambridge is the Cheffins Fine Art department, which auctions off everything from antique armchairs to ceramics, jewellery and rugs. See what treasures you can find on 6 October, the next interiors sale, which offers around 300 lots, ranging from the £100 mark into the thousands. With a huge range of prices and one-of-a-kind gems on offer, you’re virtually guaranteed to find a perfectly unique addition to your decor.
