The Warmth and Glow of the Fire
Imagine spending time outside on a crisp autumn evening while gathering with family and friends around the fire. The cozy warmth, the ambient glow, and the wood crackling in the fire add ambiance to your outdoor space, enhancing your experience. Prepare hot apple cider to serve to all of your guests for the perfect fall get-together where you can make memories that will last a lifetime.
Designed for Connection
Fire encourages gathering. The warmth and light from a fire draw people in, which makes a fire pit the ideal backyard patio addition. Conversations flow easier and people feel more comfortable and relaxed around a fire.
You have a choice of various designs and styles. Some homeowners prefer the traditional circular shape, while others prefer the modern look of a rectangular or square-shaped feature. A long and narrow rectangular-shaped fire pit allows people to sit on both sides of it and have clear visibility of each other to enjoy good conversation and connection.
Comfortable Details
No matter what style you choose, you may want to have plenty of comfortable seating options available. Place patio chairs around the fire so that everyone has a place to relax and enjoy the warmth.
Some homeowners have a built-in seating wall included in their patio design. If you choose the circular-shaped option, the seating wall can wrap around to create a nook. This way, you never have to worry about not having enough seating for your friends and family. Just be sure to keep some outdoor pillows on the seating wall so that your guests can sit comfortably.
A Gorgeous View
While the view of the fire is beautiful in itself, if you have a gorgeous view of the surrounding landscape or a cityscape, you can enhance this view. During the design process, make sure that the feature is situated to take advantage of the natural surroundings or the lights from the city. If you don’t have a spectacular view beyond the fire, consider where you have your fire pit situated so that you can watch the sunset from the comfort of your patio chair while sitting beside the fire.
Complementary Features
A fire feature can complement other outdoor living features. For example, you could have an outdoor kitchen area where you can prepare and cook meals that you can enjoy while seated beside the fire. Or perhaps you have an inground pool and the glow of the fire adds light and ambiance to the space for your evening swims. A combination of complementary features creates the perfect space for spending time outdoors.
