Hillside Fire Pit
This setup is perfect for a house on the hill, especially one with a sloped yard.
The fire pit area feels like a natural extension of its surroundings.
I love how the leaf-printed cushions and green accents make the chairs blend seamlessly with the plants around.
Adding a wooden table is a must, I’d love to enjoy a glass of champagne while taking in that breathtaking view!
Fire Bowls
One thing that makes me wonder whether I should get a fire pit or not is that it is fixed to the ground and difficult to relocate.
If you’re unsure about a permanent fire pit, a fire bowl can solve your problem.
They’re designed to be portable, so you can experiment with your yard layout or even take it with you if you decide to move away.
Cozy Movie Corner
Comfy!
This is the ultimate idea for those of you who are in love with the laid-back and easygoing vibe of your fire pit sitting area.
Of course, I’d prefer to watch a movie by the fire, with flickering flames and the warmth of the fire pit, than on a standard TV.
By the Lake
This stunning wooden house boasts a breathtaking lakeside location.
By relaxing by the firepit, surrounded by natural rock, and taking in the healing view; I’m sure you will relieve all the stress.
The wooden outdoor chairs create a seamless transition between the house and the yard, beautifully connecting the design with the natural surroundings.
DIY Wooden Bench
Wow, wood you look at that!
A full seating area made of wooden pallets which also seems not of a big problem to make.
This will be an ideal DIY project for those who love building their fire pit area.
You can also get creative with the design!
Arrange the pallets into an L-shape, a circle, or whatever suits your space.
Modern Farmhouse
This home’s design flows beautifully from indoors to outdoors!
The neutral color palette of the yard perfectly complements the white of the house.
I love the modern fire pit area, surrounded by lush greenery and pebbled gravel.
This setup is not only stunning, but the gravel ground also makes for incredibly easy maintenance, much simpler than trying to keep grass looking tidy!
Black Color Palette
A black house is a daring design choice, creating a sleek, modern backdrop that makes other elements pop, like a warm cast flame of fire pits.
While it looks strikingly aesthetic, a black house might not be for everyone, especially those concerned about what their neighbors might think.
Mexican-Inspired Design
Want to blast some color into your outdoor space? This Mexican-inspired fire pit space would be a perfect choice.
A colorful and eclectic outdoor seating area with gray concrete benches, adorned with Mexican-inspired cushions in various patterns like red stripes or green leaves.
This setup adds character to your space while providing a perfect spot for lively gatherings in the style of Mexican art.
Fairy Lights
The whole point of having a fire pit is to have a place where you feel relaxed.
With the fairy lights, this setup does that in spades.
The comfy seating, the warm lighting, and the ambiance all combine to make you exhale fully and let go of everyday stress.
Whether you’re going to enjoy a cup of tea alone or having a lively gathering with friends, it’s the ultimate haven.
Coastal Vibes
Ever dreamt of having a house overlooking a view like this?
Even if you don’t have an ocean view, you can steal the vibes of this style.
The first thing is to keep it simple, like this layout rather than fill the space with odds and ends decor.
Next, look for ways to add in wood, stone, and other materials available in your surroundings.
To me, a distressed wooden bench like this is impressive enough.
Weathering Steel Fire Pit
A circular fire pit crafted of weathered metal sits beside the lovely green grass.
The symmetrical layout is appealing, and the steel fire pit serves as the highlight.
And I know while plain white houses can be boring, adding a steel fire pit with rusted textures will provide a pop of color to your outside space.
Vibrant Chairs
You can take color palette inspiration from nature around or you can do the opposite like this one.
Make the fire pit area the focal point of your backyard with vibrant colors.
A fire pit area is meant to be a gathering place, and bold colors bring energy and playfulness into the place which immediately catches the eye and creates a clear centerpiece for your yard.
Old School Charm
There must be a reason why these old-school stone fire pits stay epic when it comes to fire pit designs, right?
The timeless design is simple to build and incredibly inviting.
I bet that they’d be ideal for outdoor gatherings on those cold nights, fun and relaxed vibe!
Industrial Style Fire Pit
Want a bolder backyard statement?
If yes, you should opt for a rectangular concrete fire pit!
Its clean lines and industrial feel add a modern edge to your outdoor space.
For added safety, consider a custom-fitted glass cover.
It provides peace of mind while letting you enjoy the warm flames.
Sunken Fire Pit
There’s something undeniably alluring about a sunken seating area, especially with a cozy fire pit at its center.
A sunken design creates a separate zone that is perfect for conversation.
While it may be an investment, the experience is truly special.
Minimal Design
With a breathtaking hillside view like this, you just need to go easy with the furnishings.
A copper fire pit is a go-to when you want something simple and durable.
Using concrete for the seating area echoes the home’s materials, creating a beautifully cohesive feel.
Wild Style Garden
Want a cozy fire pit experience with a touch of wildness?
Try setting it up in a wild and overgrown garden!
I love how a naturally tangled garden creates a sense of being truly surrounded by nature. (Maybe I’m just lazy about trimming things back, but it looks so peaceful!)
Trust me, sometimes being in a comfy chair by the fire with all the plants around you is all you need.
Under the Pergola
I bet that you’ve heard at least once about these, and they are landscaping superstars for good reason.
But adding a fire pit beneath it is the ultimate healing experience, hearing the crackling fire in your backyard.
Need fire pit time even on a rainy day? A louvered pergola will work well in that case.
Tree Stump Makeover
Ever been stumped by a tree stump?
Before you call the expensive removal service, consider this, it could be the perfect seat around your fire pit!
Don’t you think the tree stumps add instant rustic charm, especially with a wooden cabin in the background?
It’s like having your cozy retreat right at home!
Marble Fire Pits
Marble offers a luxurious touch to any seating area! Its natural patterns are truly eye-catching.
However, it’s important to remember that white marble can be more high-maintenance than materials like rock, especially in an outdoor fire pit setting.
If you choose marble, a covered patio will help protect it from the elements and keep it looking new.
And please NEVER put out a fire in a marble fire pit with water, as the sudden temperature change can cause the marble to crack or explode.
