Creating an inviting, functional outdoor living space is more than just placing a few chairs around a fire—it’s about curating a lifestyle experience. Whether you’re transforming a cozy backyard corner or revamping an expansive estate patio, HPC Fire Inspired’s concrete enclosures offer a wealth of design flexibility and unmatched craftsmanship to make your vision come to life.
From rustic retreats to modern luxury escapes, HPC’s concrete fire enclosures effortlessly blend into a wide range of aesthetics while standing strong against the elements. As seen in the examples below, each space uniquely showcases how concrete enclosures can complement various materials and styles—whether you’re working with wood, stone, brick, or other natural finishes.
Design Tips: Blending Materials for a Cohesive Look
When building your dream outdoor space, putting consideration into how you combine materials like wood, stone, and brick can make or break the overall design flow:
- Wood brings warmth and organic beauty. Pairing a wood pergola with a concrete fire feature (as shown in the first image) creates a welcoming contrast that feels grounded and timeless. Opt for treated or hardwood varieties for durability.
- Stone exudes permanence and luxury. A terraced backyard like the one in the second image benefits from a concrete fire feature that balances the rugged textures of stacked stone retaining walls with sleek, contemporary lines.
- Brick introduces heritage and charm. When used in walkways or borders, brick pairs well with HPC’s more textured finishes like clay or limestone, creating a nostalgic yet fresh environment.
Maximize Your Existing Layout
Not every outdoor space starts with a blank slate—and that’s a good thing. HPC enclosures are customizable to work with what you already have. Is your yard compact? Add a linear fire pit as a focal point to draw people in without overcrowding. Have a pool? Frame it with coordinated lounge areas and an HPC fire feature to bring the whole scene together, like in the third image above. Seating plays a critical role in grounding the space; by incorporating seating that mirrors the shape of your fire feature—curved sections around a circular fire bowl or sleek benches beside a rectangular pit it creates a sense of symmetry and style.
Choosing the Right Color Palette: Sets the Mood
Color has the power to set the tone for your entire space. HPC offers six signature finishes to help tailor your outdoor atmosphere:
- Natural – Perfect for minimalist, modern styles.
- Limestone – Light and airy; ideal for classic or beachside settings.
- Clay – Warm, earthy tones that pair beautifully with brick and wood.
- Ash – A soft, neutral grey that blends seamlessly with stone elements.
- Sandstone – Offers a sun-kissed, elegant feel for resort-inspired spaces.
- Charcoal – Bold and dramatic, great for modern or industrial designs.
When selecting your palette, consider the emotional tone you want to evoke:
- Want a relaxing escape? Choose cool tones like ash or limestone.
- Creating an entertaining space? Warm colors like clay or sandstone spark conversation and energy.
- Going for modern elegance? Charcoal and natural finishes offer clean lines and strong contrast.
