Create a fiery focal point with a fireplace, fire pit, or chiminea.
By Jill Gleeson
Perry MastrovitoGetty Images
There's just something so cozy about a fire this time of year—the crackle, the smell, and the memories made while roasting hot dogs and toasting marshmallows for the best s'mores recipes. Even though campfires get most of the glory, homeowners are embracing the romantic appeal of enjoying a fire in their very own backyards. And the good news is, whatever your budget, style, or skill level, one of these outdoor fireplace ideas will be the perfect fit for your home.
For a large, sprawling back lawn, one of our favorite affordable backyard ideas is to build a simple DIY stone fire pit in a pea gravel patio—encircle it with Adirondack chairs, and violà, an outdoor room! Or, move the fun to the patio with a full fireplace that might even double as part of an outdoor kitchen. If you are looking for small backyard ideas, many of these options are right-sized for your space, from a super-easy tabletop burner to stylish, patio-friendly metal fire pits and chimineas. With styles ranging from rustic to modern (see the DIY concrete fire bowl, which is also super affordable), you’re sure to find the right look too.
Now that your outdoor fireplace or pit is in place, turn your attention to the rest of your backyard autumn retreat.
Our favorite outdoor rugs will upgrade your patio style through rain, sunshine, or the cold season ahead. And don't forget to add some pretty fall flowers to your garden too!
