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!

67 Patio Design Ideas
Welcome to our gallery of patio design ideas. Patios can greatly enhance the spaciousness of your home and provide a place to sit and chat with guests and family.
They give you the opportunity to enjoy the garden, enjoy the views and dine al fresco. Whether you have a small outdoor patio, a rooftop terrace, or a wide open space, there are plenty of design ideas to create your perfect outdoor retreat. (Visit this page for wood deck ideas)
Some of the popular patio types include garden, pool, concrete, stone, brick, and dining. They often have features such as a barbecue, summer kitchen, water features, walkways, a fire pit, a fireplace, a gazebo, an arbor, an awning, and furniture that can withstand varying weather conditions. When it comes to custom patio design, the possibilities are endless, depending on the shape, size, materials needed, and budget of the building.
The picture above shows a beautiful octagonal patio with a great view in country style. The floors are made of non-slip ceramic tiles in light orange color with an accent border of ceramic tiles in terracotta red color. On the ceiling, natural maple boards are used instead of paint. Potted palm trees grow around the walls to give the space a tropical feel.
It's important that your patio is made from the right materials so that the outdoor space is durable and looks great. There are many different materials that can be installed in a virtually unlimited range of patterns and colors to create your patio. Here are some of the most popular materials used for outdoor patios:
Stone - both its characteristics and color are created by a natural process in which it forms a slow and gradual accumulation of layers of minerals, clay, sand and organic deposits . The most popular colors available are blue, red and tan. The look of these materials is truly earthy and timeless. Its size and shape are non-standard and difficult to work with. Flagstone patio comes in many different types, namely blue stone, which has great strength, requiring a sealant to maintain the color. Another popular choice is sandstone, which is porous and susceptible to water damage. It is important that flagstone structures have adequate drainage due to its tendency to split and erode.
patio paving stone - it comes in many forms including concrete, stone, clay and recycled plastic. In order for the patio to last longer and not fade, it is recommended to use concrete or stone pavers. Stone patios are virtually maintenance free, making them a great choice for backyard design. To maintain the shape of the patio, make sure that the paving stones being laid are surrounded by a curb of pressure-finished lumber.
Clay brick is an aesthetic addition to both modern and traditional architecture. Usually, bricks can retain their warm and rich color due to their convenient weight as well as size. Brick patios can be installed as a DIY project without much experience. Bricks come in versatile round or rectangular shapes and can be used for a wide variety of layouts.
Gravel - it can be installed quickly and easily and comes in two types: crushed stone and river stone. Gravel inhibits weed growth and provides excellent drainage when placed on a fabric landscaping liner. Gravel can be used in gardens or yards, but it also requires careful maintenance as it is replete with rocks that make it hard to keep in place and level. A gravel patio is also inexpensive to create and a good DIY project for those with no building experience.
Patio enjoyment is all you need to maximize your viewing and experience of your surroundings. I hope the patio design ideas and images featured on this page inspire you to create the perfect outdoor space for your taste and lifestyle.

25 Warm & Welcoming Outdoor Fireplaces 💡 Gardening | HomeInteriorz.com
Heat Your Outdoor World
The fireplace expands outdoor living space use from summer to all four seasons. Unlike a fire pit, an open fireplace defines your patio or deck as a focal point and destination - a place to gather, create leisure, entertainment and memories. Fireplaces range from inexpensive chimineys and portable metal models to do-it-yourself homeowner project kits with beautiful fire features that are part of an outdoor room designed by landscape architects and built by contractors.
Outdoor fireplaces are built the same way indoors, with a chimney to let the smoke out rather than into the living room or yard. They can be as simple as chimenea, thoughtful outdoor kitchen extensions with braids, trellises and grills, or with materials and textures that are reminiscent of the main residence.
Design with safety in mind
Pay attention to where portable fireplaces are placed, making sure they are not on flammable surfaces or flames where sparks can ignite combustible materials. Check your local government websites for codes and laws regarding wood burning in your area. You can also check the .gov regulations or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Burn Wise website for updated information on burn laws. Alternative fuels for wood include propane, gas and ethanol.
