We believe home design should be stylish and distinctive. Adding an outdoor fire table or bowl to your garden, patio, or poolside creates the perfect place to gather or unwind—extending your use of the space by making it an inviting evening or night time hangout. At Lulu and Georgia, our thoughtfully curated line of fire pit tables and bowls is perfect for an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, beautifully blending form and function.
Not sure what style fits your home best when shopping for an outdoor fire pit? Don't worry; we have you covered. Check out a few tips below for inspiration when browsing and practical styling advice as you shop our collection.
Finding an Outdoor Fire Table or Fire Pit for Your Space
Firepits and bowls come in all shapes and sizes—so a good place to start is to think in terms of measurements and space. In terms of sizing, an outdoor fire bowl or table is similar to an outdoor coffee table. The main thing you are pairing the firepit or bowl to is seating. A smaller fire pit might be a standalone feature styled simply with a few streamlined outdoor accent chairs—like Adirondacks or sling patio chairs. But if you are using the fire pit as a larger anchor piece, you may want to consider designs that offer dual functionality as an extra surface or to find a size tailored to your layout.
If you are pairing the fire pit with an outdoor sofa, for instance, a long rectangular or oval fire bowl may offer a better spread for heat and light. A smaller round or square fire pit table, on the other hand, may offer a more intimate feel for a sectional or conversational four-chair layout. Remember, a fire table or bowl may be similar to a coffee table, but it is also a working fire pit, and safety is essential— you want to ensure about four to six feet of patio space on each side so that there's room for furniture and people to move around—think cozy, not crowded.
Once you've found a design that fits your space, check out our accessories and essentials like natural gas conversion kits or protective covers—like this Fernanda Fire Bowl Cover tailored to pair with the Fernanda Fire Bowl. If you are working with a limited footprint or want to make your patio space more dynamic, a smaller piece like the Benno Fire Bowl can be topped with the matching Benno Fire Bowl Lid to easily convert the surface into a full tabletop.
Making Your Outdoor Fire Pit a Natural Focal Point
In addition to shape and placement, there are other ways mindful design can transform your fire bowl or table from an added feature to a natural focal point. Think context—how will you use this space? Is it a small fire bowl for an intimate backyard hideout with a view? Is it a patio centerpiece for family and friends to gather on summer evenings? Once you get a feel for the space as a whole, you can start completing the look with new and existing outdoor lounge furniture.
Beyond seating, you want to consider all the little touches that make your space a seamless hangout. One thing that can be easy to overlook with outdoor fire bowls is surface space. Many fire pit tables and fire bowl tables—like this Pasucal Fire Table—have an extended ledge for drinks, but it's always good to style an outdoor side table or two to give yourself and guests an easy place to perch phones or drinks away from the fire. Many of our outdoor fire tables and bowls can be paired with a matching propane tank cover—such as the Pascual Propane Tank Cover—which doubles as an extra surface for a clean and tailored patio feel.
Another evergreen tip for styling outdoors is to think rustic, not spartan. Layering soft touches like outdoor pillows or throws can make an outdoor lounge even cozier and more inviting. A propane or gas fire pit table or fire bowl won't have the same risk of sparking embers as a wood-burning outdoor fire pit, but any time there's open flame, it's always good to be mindful—keeping any furniture, blankets, or cushions at least three feet from the flame and perhaps opting for pieces that you don't mind taking on some wear and tear. Retiring an old throw or two for seasonal outdoor use is the perfect excuse to refresh your indoor collection in the fall.
