Best Ways To Plan Around A Fire Pit
A fire pit often symbolizes the cornerstone of backyard entertaining. When your friends and family are gathered around the fire on a crisp, cool night, nothing is more relaxing than sharing stories and roasting marshmallows while staying warm around the fire. Building a fire pit in your backyard can add a great deal of value to your landscape and can open even more opportunities for unique decorating ideas.
So, once you’ve collected your outdoor living supplies in Arizona and Colorado to built your fire pit...what do you do with it?
How do you plan around it? What are the best ways to create furniture and paving arrangements to make the pit a comfortable gathering place, yet without risking fire hazards or aesthetic ruin?
Our design experts at Pioneer Landscape Centers have come up with some creative ways to plan around a fire pit. From outdoor living supplies in Arizona and Colorado to stone sitting areas, there are several ways to make your fire pit vibrant and unique. Plus, you can decorate in a way that will blend right in with your existing landscape!
FIND A FIRE PIT PATIO SET
Outdoor furniture will never go out of style, and there are a variety of designs and styles for you to fit comfortably around your fire pit. If your fire pit is elevated and contained, it might pair well with some Adirondack chairs and colorful pillow arrangements.
If you’re looking for something simpler, you can try a four or six-piece set of metal patio chairs, complete with comfortable cushions that add a fireproof element to your furniture. Think about the area where your fire pit sits, and how many people you expect to be gathered around it on an average basis.
A nice outdoor sofa can go the extra mile, giving off maximum vibes of comfort and coziness. A two-piece sofa fits well with a rectangular fire pit. You can add two standalone chairs on each side for a full and complete look.
KEEP THINGS NATURAL WITH STONE FURNITURE
Stone furniture can add an extremely natural and rustic look to your backyard. More and more homeowners are looking towards the creative process of stone furniture and sitting areas to help keep in line with the rest of the backyard’s look. Stone arrangements can last a lifetime, and they can add quite the sophisticated touch to your backyard.
Stone invites cool and calm feelings, making them the perfect material for relaxation around your fire pit. Plus, they do not conduct heat, meaning that you won’t burn up when you sit on them. You can rearrange stone into a couch-like area, or you can add a beautiful ledge around the border of your fire pit to get up close and personal.
FIRE PIT PAVING OPTIONS
You can really emphasize the area around your fire pit, making it stand out from the rest of your yard with simple paving options. For example, you can pave the area around your fire pit with concrete, helping to elevate it slightly while creating a smooth surface for you and your guests to walk on.
You can also add creative brick or stone tiling that edges outward from your fire pit, encircling the area in a grand and glorious display. Edge the outside of your design with stone or gravel to separate it from the rest of your garden, making it easy to spot no matter what.
SET THE MOOD WITH SOME LIGHTING
You may not think of lighting options as a necessary factor, since of course the fire emits a light of its own. However, even on the nights where it’s too hot to light the pit, you may want to sit around the area and enjoy a relaxing evening. But, you don’t want to sit in total darkness.
Instead, you can install warm light fixtures into the stone ledge you’re sitting on or add a couple of modern torches around the area to add an element of depth. Lanterns or hanging lights can also make your backyard look unique, and you’ll be able to relax underneath their warm glow.
