Your swimming pool isn’t a standalone feature of your home. It’s part of your outdoor living space, which may include seating areas, tasteful landscaping features, lighting, integrated speakers, and many other elements to help you and your guests enjoy the outdoors. If you are creating a backyard living design for your Tucson home, you won’t want to overlook the benefits of a fire feature. Whether you choose a fire pit or outdoor fireplace, adding a fire feature to your backyard can add warmth and comfort—along with a unique elegance and eye-catching design—to your outdoor space.
Extend Your Pool Season with a Fire Feature
One of the biggest benefits of an outdoor fire feature is that it can extend your pool season and allow you to enjoy your outdoor space even on chilly fall and winter nights. Although temperatures are still hot now, cooler evening temperatures are just around the corner, and your home may become a hub for entertaining friends and family if you have a warm and inviting outdoor space with a crackling fire.
Choose a Fire Feature that Suits Your Space
When it comes to fire features, the designs are endless. You might opt for a traditional fireplace look, which provides a contained fire and a natural focal point for your backyard design. Alternatively, an open fire pit may be the perfect gathering spot for your family where you can roast marshmallows and enjoy the flames under the stars.
Along with customizable designs, fire features offer convenient functionality with natural gas or propane fuel sources. With either fuel source, you can turn your fire feature on or off with the flip of a switch and enjoy a clean-burning fire with little smoke, allowing you to instantly create the right ambiance in your yard.
Complement the Design of Your Pool
A fire feature can beautifully complement your modern pool design, as the gentle sound of running water can enhance the beauty and peacefulness of the fire. You can even include fire features into your pool itself with combination fire and water features or fire bowls, which will offer the added beauty of flames reflecting on the surface of the water.
On a chilly fall or winter evening, having a fire feature near the pool can give you a comfortable space to wrap yourself in a fluffy towel and dry off after a swim in the heated pool.
Include Plenty of Seating
With any type of fire feature in your backyard, you will want to include plenty of seating surrounding the fire. You might choose built-in seating with hardscaped benches or luxury patio furniture that can be rearranged and stored in the garage or shed when not in use.
