Outdoor fire pit with seating ideas

Outdoor fire pit ideas that will spark your imagination regardless of the season

Outdoor fire pits with seating are now a classic when it comes to backyard decor. Why? It is very versatile. We already explained the benefits of owning a fiberglass pool because water elements are always attractive. 

Water elements and fire elements go hand in hand when it comes to decorating. They are natural and alluring, and you won’t make a mistake in either one you choose.

Fire pits are cheaper than building a pool, and they can also help give you a whole different dimension to your backyard. By playing with the fire, you can make your backyard look and feel hot all year round.

Every season is the perfect season for enjoying your outdoor fire pit

By playing with seating design and lighting fixtures, you can create a striking focal point. In the spring, sit with your favorite blanket, read a book, feel nature waking up again after a long winter with the smell of pollen lingering everywhere, and hear the calming crackling of the fire. Sounds relaxing, doesn’t it?
When summer comes, bring on the s’mores. Nights around the fire will awaken memories of camping trips and telling scary stories from the past. The enjoyment one can get from just watching a dancing flame. 

Fall is where nature gets painted in shades of orange, red, and yellow. As the leaves fall, friends and family gather around the warm fire to simply enjoy nature. 

In the winter, the fire will help warm you up and remind you about everything from above. Outdoor fire pits are practical, and they can come in various shapes and sizes. Every size backyard can be turned into something unique. 

Outdoor fire pit with seating: Design options

Your imagination shouldn’t have any limits for the fire pit seating area design. Your design could have a cozy corner where you place your fire pit, or you can make it the focal point of your backyard, right in the center. Take a look at some of our work and how we played with spaces and designs.

You can have an outdoor fire pit with a seating area and a pool to make a perfect balance of elements. Now that would be the best of both worlds. 

Imagine deep shades of blue in your pool, rattan furniture with blue cushions, and in the middle  – an outdoor fire pit with blue fire glass.

You can stick to a traditional design with wooden furniture to create a cozy atmosphere. Perfect for long summer days when you have a barbecue with your friends.

The outdoor fire pit also fits a tropical paradise backyard theme. Imagine having your own tiki bar, tiki torches, palm trees, and you are making your own Piña Colada and drinking it next to your stone firepit. 

Since the pandemic is still around, your backyard could be your favorite tropical destination if you have some imagination and crafty landscaping contractors.

Firepit base ideas

Concrete firepits are most common due to their simplicity. They are extremely easy to build, and they can fit in so many different spaces. You can choose concrete firepits, steel firepits, and there is also an option for wooden firepits. Some modern solutions include both firepit and grill, and you even have an opportunity to use it as an ice bucket!

Firepit seating area dimensions can easily be fitted to suit your backyard. Sometimes small and subtle details can make a huge difference. 

If you have a smaller backyard and patio, you can find a fire pit table that would fit a small space. And yes, it will be enough to illuminate the entire area. These solutions are simple and minimalistic, yet very elegant.

Most people are sticking to traditional concrete and stone firepit. It looks natural, and it will give your backyard that ‘’wow’’ effect almost instantly. 

Your friends will adore hanging out in your backyard (with all the safety precautions). 

Details

Combine outdoor lighting fixtures to get your firepit into the spotlight. Candlelight is an excellent addition because it promotes a calming mood and it creates a relaxing atmosphere. It also can be romantic. 

Add outdoor canopy lights to imitate starlight for all romantic souls that enjoy stargazing, but they can’t do it because of light pollution. 

Don’t forget a lot of cushions and blankets. Also, chocolate is a great idea, no matter the season. Cocktails are also a great addition, but chocolate is perfect for hedonism at the end of a rough day. It is therapeutic. Don’t forget to make roasted marshmallows!
