There’s something about sitting around a backyard fire pit that seems to officially signal the start of summer. Longer nights and warmer weather means that you can extend the amount of time you spend outdoors well into the evening hours. Outdoor living spaces maximize the function of your home by providing an additional area for dining, lounging, and entertaining. Adding a fire feature can help elevate your yard into a comfortable space that is useable long into the fall months (and even the winter depending on where you live!). Ranging from large extravagant centerpiece designs to contemporary sleek options, there is a wide variety of fireplaces, tables and stone structures to suit your space and decor style. We rounded up our favorites and broke them down into an easy-to-follow guide to help you narrow down the setup and style that works best for you.
