There’s nothing quite like gathering around a fire pit on a cool Bay Area evening. Whether you’re in Redwood City, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Los Altos, San Francisco, San Mateo, Burlingame, or Hillsborough, adding a fire feature to your backyard brings warmth, style, and a cozy spot for entertaining year-round. But which fire pit style is right for your outdoor space? Here are five stunning fire pit design options to inspire your next backyard makeover:
1. Modern Concrete Fire Pits
For a sleek, contemporary look, modern concrete fire pits offer clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic. They pair perfectly with modern outdoor furniture and fit seamlessly into updated patios in cities like Palo Alto and San Francisco. Choose a square or rectangular shape for a bold statement that complements a modern landscape design.
2. Rustic Stone Fire Pits
Nothing says classic backyard comfort like a circular stone fire pit. Rustic stone designs bring a natural, timeless vibe that blends beautifully with traditional homes in Menlo Park or Los Altos. Pair with Adirondack chairs or built-in stone seating for the ultimate gathering spot.
3. Fire Tables
Fire tables combine the function of a table with the ambiance of a fire feature, making them perfect for outdoor dining areas in Redwood City, San Mateo, or Burlingame. With a wide variety of styles—from rustic wood finishes to modern metal designs—fire tables are versatile and ideal for spaces where entertaining is a priority.
4. Fire Bowls
Compact yet striking, fire bowls are a stylish solution for small backyards, patios, or courtyards. Fire bowls filled with glass rocks or lava stones add a chic, modern touch without taking up too much space—perfect for homeowners in urban neighborhoods like San Francisco or cozy properties in Hillsborough.
5. Linear Fire Features
For a luxurious and dramatic look, linear fire features make a stunning addition to contemporary outdoor living areas. Set into seating walls or along the edge of a patio, these long, rectangular flames create a modern focal point that’s both functional and beautiful—ideal for high-end homes throughout the Bay Area.
