It’s one thing to customize your outdoor living area through the addition of high-end furniture and meticulous landscaping, but it’s another to captivate your guests through standout features. One of our favorites is the custom fire pit.
Custom fire pits serve as focal points for gatherings while adding a thick warmth and beautiful ambiance to your outdoor living area. The Blue Lizard Services team specializes in crafting high-end outdoor spaces that are tailored to fit your unique style and needs. Today, we’re diving into how custom fire pits can elevate your outdoor living space and a few tips for designing one that complements your home to a tee.
Let’s get started, shall we?
The Allure of Custom Fire Pits
Creating Ambiance and Comfort
Your custom fire pit is going to serve as more than just a mere heat source; it’s also going to perform as the centerpiece that will essentially transform your original backyard into a cozy outdoor oasis. In the cooler evenings of the year, you can bet that the glowing warmth of your fire pit will extend your backyard’s utility. When the crisp winters come, you and your family can sit around the crackling flames and gentle light for a relaxing bonfire.
Tailored Design and Personalization
One of the best parts of installing a fire pit is our clients’ ability to tailor the design to their hearts’ content. Custom fire pits allow the option for your choice in the shapes, sizes, and materials utilized in the design of your property’s firepit.
Whether you’re envisioning something modern and sleek, rustic and industrial, or classic and traditional, the Blue Lizard Services experts have got you covered.
Key Benefits of Custom Fire Pits
Aesthetic Enhancement
Your custom fire pit will add a distinctive visual element to your backyard. Fire pits play beautifully against contemporary looks as well as classic designs. Either way, a well-designed and intentionally placed custom firepit can complement your home, landscaping, and other elements in a way you’ve never seen before.
Versatility and Functionality
Versatility and firepits go hand in hand. These purposeful little pits serve purposes far beyond warmth and even light. Some fire pit designs integrate built-in seating, tables, and cooking elements.
The functionality a fire pit brings will make your backyard more suitable for more activities. Whether you’ve got a patio or garden, or you want your fire pit poolside, the Blue Lizard team will guarantee your custom firepit adapts seamlessly to your outdoor space.
Boosting Property Value
When you invest in a custom fire pit, you’re investing in your property as a whole. Yes, when you have a high-quality, well-designed fire pit, your outdoor dwelling experience is elevated, but it can significantly increase your property’s marketability.
Prospective home buyers are drawn to well-intentioned outdoor spaces like moths to a flame. When you have a backyard that offers both style and functionality, you can’t lose. All you have to do is make sure the design is high-end, tasteful, and integrates seamlessly into your home’s design.
Essential Design Considerations for Custom Fire Pits
Material Choices
- Natural Stone: Natural stone selections deliver a timeless look, all while being able to withstand the New Orleans elements.
- Brick: Looking for a traditional feel? Brick is the way to go. It delivers some highly customizable elements in terms of color and texture.
- Metal: For a more modern and sleek look, metal fire pits may better suit your fancy. Metal is available in different finishes and adds a touch of contemporary to your outdoor space.
While each material has its own set of advantages, your decision should be contingent upon the design you envision and the unique elements that are naturally occurring in your own backyard.
Optimal Location and Placement
Be intentional about your custom fire pit’s placement. Its location plays a huge role in its efficiency and your safety. When you’re considering where to plant your custom fire pit, think about:
- Safety: Is your fire pit safely tucked away from built-in structures, trees, and other flammables? If not, plan for another spot.
- Visibility: You want your fire pit to be seen! Try to position it where it can be easily accessible from different corners of your outdoor space.
- Integration: Does your fire pit complement your already existing landscape? If not, maybe you should go back to the drawing board on pit placement.
