The Hobbit-inspired fireplaces are a true work of art and pieces which make Tolkien’s vision and the Shire come alive in a stunning way.

All fireplaces have a common element, the massive stone used for building them, but their shapes and decorations differ. You can find a Hobbit-inspired fireplace for any home, from large to even smaller pieces that will fit in just right into the surroundings. For inspiration, take a look at the selection of pictures and choose your favorite Hobbit fireplace. The all you need to do is save some money for your dream and find the right company or craftsmen, who can make Tolkien’s world come alive in your own living room.

If money wasn’t already a heavy burden, building a home nowadays also entails a lot of bureaucracy to deal with. With the concept of reducing costs wherever it is possible, the almost fairytale-like home you can see in the photos is a beautiful example of what you can achieve with a little bit of imagination and architectural courage. Not many people will hurry up and help you build a cob house. But a retired art teacher from Oxfordshire, Michael Buck, managed to build a hobbit house with $220 and no harm to the environment. The materials used are all local and no papers or documents were necessary for raising the structure because it is considered a summer house. You might say all of these came at a price in terms of comfort: the hobbit house has no running water or electricity and the heating is provided by a woodstove. Watch the video to find out how this environmentally-friendly home was raised. It is really inspiring!
