There are several elegant solutions available—many of which are quite economical.

Install a standout outdoor fire pit with bespoke cushions on the built-in bench. The patterned cloth not only adds character and colour but also provides a comfortable place for people to sit around the fire.

2. Take Measurements

If you already have patio furniture, take measurements and think about the forms of your current items before falling in love with a fire pit. Add a long, thin silhouette of the fire pit to a roof terrace design that compliments the sofa wonderfully.

3. Create Privacy

Consider using tall hedges instead of fences to provide seclusion around your fire pit lounging area. With a concrete fire pit and corresponding seating, we kept things monochromatic here. The tall hedges provide privacy, drama, and, most importantly, foliage.

4. Create Zones

Consider using different materials to separate leisure zones in the backyard and to keep the fire pit area away from the splash zone of the swimming pool. The concrete flooring beneath the fire pit seating area offers a strong and long-lasting finish.

5. Hang String Lights

It doesn’t take much to turn any backyard into a lovely place. If you place romantic string lights on a little city patio, you can be transported to another world. When rustic wooden furniture is arranged around a fire pit and piled with cushions and wool wraps, it becomes comfortable. If you have a tiny yard, consider installing an enclosed fireplace. You may even take it with you to a friend’s house—the party goes with you!

6. Channel a Campfire

Make this outdoor feature a meeting spot for friends and family. The design was created with storage in mind, with speakers buried in the walls of local stone and logs stacked beneath the seats. If you enjoy masonry, a round fire pit would be an excellent addition to your garden.
