Having difficulty heading back indoors as sunny spring days turn cold? Outdoor fire attributes are a great way to expand the livability of your outdoor area into the evening. While fire pits and fire as art are all the anger, the conventional fireplace provides so much more than bodily heat. Consider adding a hearth into an outdoor room if you need any of the following.

3. Light and heat. In addition to bodily heat, fireplaces add a dramatic light and a welcoming invitation into a space. In this garden, the visual warmth of the fireplace is improved by implementing tactical lighting to the fiery leaves of the trees that flank its chimney. I would happily put on a sweater to enjoy the cozy warmth of the patio.
