Fired Up For Fall – How to Create a Warm and Cozy Outdoor Space

The days are getting shorter, the leaves are changing, and there’s a crisp feel to the air. In our humble opinion, the Fall season is the best time to gather outdoors. Who doesn’t love good food, beverages, friends and family with a warm, welcoming fire. It’s the perfect atmosphere for rest and relaxation. Outdoor spaces are often extensions of your indoor living environment. Fire Pits offer a focal point for this extension offering a place to unwind and entertain. They offer the utility of warmth and light while also enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space.

Fire Pit Designs:
Fire Pits come in all shapes and sizes, allowing you to create a custom outdoor space. Unfinished Furniture of Wilmington, proudly partners with Colonial Road to offer Fire Pits from the Leisure Lawns Collection. With round, square, and rectangular fire pits, you can create a cozy nook for two or a larger gathering space. We also offer fire tables in dining, counter, and bar heights which work perfectly for an outdoor kitchen. Crafted from high-quality, weather-resistant poly material, these fire pits are designed to withstand the elements while adding a touch of elegance to any outdoor space.
Benefits of Poly:
- manufactured with HDPE featuring UV inhibitors that minimize fading
- stainless steel fasteners – proven to be more resistant to corrosion
- resistant to corrosive substances, oils and fuels, insects, fungi, salt spray and other environmental stressors
- Extremely Durable
- Maintenance-Free – Never needs to be treated or painted
- No splinters, splitting or cracking – always smooth to the touch
- Does not absorb moisture
Gas Fire Pits:
Gas fire pits are extremely easy to use. Who doesn’t love the convenience of conjuring a fire with the flip of a switch? The instant heat allows for spontaneity with no need for chopping wood or dealing with messy ashes!
Leisure Lawn fire pits include a convenient ignition system, making it easy to control your fire and enjoy the ambiance without hassle. You can also offer custom heat levels by adjusting the flame height and intensity. This also eliminates the need to constantly tend the fire, allowing you to relax and enjoy the flames. Use the clear glass pebbles included with the pit to add a stylish element and encourage a calming glow.
Best of all, gas fire pits require no next-day clean-up. Well, no clean-up for the fire pit; unfortunately, we can’t help with the mess left by you and your guests.
Seating Around Fire Pits
When choosing chairs for a fire pit, you want to consider comfort, durability, safety, and overall aesthetics. The most common option around a low fire pit includes Adirondack Chairs for a relaxed and welcoming feel. Swivel Chairs or Bar Stools are also great options for engaging in conversation while entertaining multiple guests. They also look great around a taller fire table or island.
Recommendations for Seating:
- Maintain a minimum distance of 3 feet between chairs and 2 feet from the gas fire pit
- Mimic the shape of your fire pit: For round shapes, arrange chairs in a circle of semi-circle. For angular shapes use 1-2 chairs per side.
- Place small tables between chairs to hold drinks, snacks, and other essentials.
- Keep blankets and pillows nearby for extra coziness on chilly nights
