How to Create a Cozy and Inviting Outdoor Space with a Fire Feature
Who doesn’t love the warm, inviting glow of a fire on a cool evening? Picture this: the sound of crackling wood, the aroma of roasting marshmallows, and the laughter of friends and family gathered around a beautifully designed fire pit. That’s the feeling we wanted to capture when we set out to transform our outdoor space.
Designing a Space for Gathering
We envisioned a space at the front of our home that was not only inviting, but also versatile—a place where neighbors could gather, and where friends and family could find comfort and warmth. Consideration for flexibility was key. We wanted the area to be able to expand to accommodate a larger group, or contract for a more intimate setting with just a few friends or family members. So, we created a seating wall around the entire fire pit area. This allowed us to host gatherings of 25 to 30 people without any hassle, while still being able to create a cozy, intimate atmosphere when needed.
Above are some great examples of fire pit areas that can expand and contract based on the size of your gathering!
The Heart of the Space: Our Beloved Breeo Fire Pit
The centerpiece of our outdoor oasis is our beloved Breeo fire pit. This smokeless insert, equipped with vents at the bottom, efficiently recycles air and smoke, reducing the amount of smoke emitted, and allowing all our guests to enjoy the warmth and ambiance without any irritants. The addition of a cooking tray has expanded our outdoor culinary adventures, from traditional hot dogs to more extravagant options like grilled oysters. The versatility of the fire pit has added a new layer of enjoyment to our outdoor gatherings.
Creating Ambiance
To enhance the atmosphere around the fire pit, we added several elements to create a sense of enchantment. Luminous lights on the privacy panel of the house and the beautifully lit tree by the fire pit area infuse the surroundings with a magical glow, while a gently flowing water feature provides a soothing backdrop. The fragrant jasmine vine and pyracantha growing along the fence, as well as the lush blueberry bushes, contribute to the overall charm of the space. These thoughtful features extend beyond the hardscape, creating a truly welcoming venue for both day and night.
Embrace the Transformation
Our fire feature has transformed our outdoor space into the ideal cozy destination, where neighbors, friends, and family love to gather and create cherished memories. The possibilities for warmth, comfort, and enjoyment are endless, making our outdoor space the perfect retreat.
So, whether you have an existing fire pit or are considering adding one to your outdoor space, let this be an inspiration for you to create your own cozy haven. Visit our fire features guide for pricing information and more tips and ideas on how to design and transform your own outdoor space.
