Benefits of Adding a Fire Feature to an Outdoor Living Space

Outdoor living spaces have been growing in popularity since late 2007. While the initial outdoor living space was minimalistic with patio furniture and a fire pit for entertainment, today’s definition of that space is much more broad. Now, an outdoor space can include full kitchens, plenty of seating for entertaining, star gazing, and fire and water features. When comparing the difference between the past and present, you’ll notice one commonality between the two: the incorporation of a fire feature.

Fire features are popular accessories in outdoor spaces for numerous reasons. The first reason (and perhaps the most well-known benefit,) is the warmth that a fire feature provides. Whether you’re looking to entertain guests late into the night or are eager to have company over before the warm weather arrives, a fire feature makes both goals attainable by offering warmth.

In addition to providing heat, a fire feature engages guests and encourages them to gather around it. The natural flicker from the flame enhances the ambiance of any gathering, creating a welcoming and relaxing environment for guests.

While your fire feature will welcome and gratify your guests, it can also seamlessly blend into the surroundings. Incorporating a fire feature is incredibly simple, and with an extensive array of customization opportunities, you can easily find a fire feature that will integrate effortlessly into your landscape.

For those not interested in entertaining guests, having a fire feature also adds value to the home. While the value is dependent on the completion of the outdoor space in addition to a fire pit, the U.S. Real Estate News suggests that having a solo fire feature still offers a significant boost to the resale value of a home. So, not only does a fire feature give you an opportunity to stay out later, but you’ll also see monetary value from it if you’re in the market to sell your home.

Ultimately, adding a fire pit to your outdoor space is beneficial because the benefits extend beyond the homeowner. Guests also get the advantages of a fire pit when being entertained, and it offers potentially higher resale values. A fire feature is something that can influence the experience of everyone around it, indicating why they have been popular and will continue to be so in the future.
