1. Get Lots of Pillows & Throws!

There's nothing that helps set the cozy vibe of your fire pit area more than plenty of pillows and throws that make you feel extra warm and snug. Not only do they look visually pleasing, but they also add to the comfort level of everyone, too! Definitely don't be afraid to go crazy with it - the more the merrier!

2. Add Comforting Light

You don't want to get lighting that feels too bright or in-your-face; you're going to want something that creates warmth and helps set the cozy mood. Opt for fairy lights for a nice decorative charm, or use warm bulbs that give just enough of a glow. Remember, the fire pit is going to emit light on its own too, so you're only adding to the atmosphere, not ruining it.

3. Get Comfortable Chairs

You're only going to enjoy your fire pit so long as you're comfy with where you're sitting. Don't get those wooden chairs that are uncomfortable and leave you feeling sore the moment you stand, splurge a bit to get the ones that make you feel like you can fall asleep in them right then and there.

4. Add Functional Surfaces

Whether you're roasting marshmallows or drinking hot chocolate, your fire pit will likely benefit from functional surfaces that allow you and your guests to place objects down. Small tables or stools will work perfectly for this, ensuring that everyone has a comfortable experience.

5. Get Natural Decorative Items

Since you're already outdoors, don't be afraid to play into it! Grab adorable flowers and plants to give the area some life, and consider surrounding the pit with some stone or gravel to give it a nice rustic charm. You want to give your fire pit some personality!
