Fantastic Outdoor Living Room Design Incorporating Fire Pits

I love when I come across a great article that features outdoor fire pits as the centerpiece within great landscape and patio design. These landscape architects really know how to marry modern outdoor living with the natural surroundings to achieve a perfect balance of aesthetic design and function.

This article displays several different designs varying from modern sheik design to rustic natural incorporation into the surrounding landscape. Each design compliments either the existing patio structure, the architecture of the home or the surrounding natural scenery.


One of my favorites is the steel wall above that creates a frame for the fire pit and a shield to the plants. Its a nice modern industrial contrast to the surrounding flora and really helps the fire pit flame pop into the forefront of the design space.


Another one of my favorites is the fire pit placed at ground level in the same geometric breakdown of the pavers and its offset placement within the patio surround. It wouldnt have the same effect if it were placed dead center in the patio area, but feels in balance as it helps complete the circle. Also, the blue glass used is a nice contrast to the natural surrounding of stone, wood and water.

These custom fire pits are great inspiration for those who are looking to incorporate one of natures most powerful elements into their landscape design, fire.
