A firepit is a great way to bring some extra heating to your outdoor area, especially when the nights start to get a little bit more chilly but you still want to make the most of your garden.
Investing in a firepit is the first step to making the most of your garden, but you can’t enjoy its cosiness without somewhere to sit, so it’s important to have a think about the best seating or chairs that can complement your firepit. This guide will help you take advantage of the benefits of firepits with the right kind of seating for you.
Reclining chairs
To secure top relaxation in your garden, reclining chairs are perfect as you can put your feet up, enjoy your garden and feel the warmth from your firepit while you recline.
Outback reclining chairs are good around a firepit because you can move them to suit your needs, adjusting your position to best feel the effects of the firepit. Guests will also love the chance to relax in your back garden with you on reclining chairs as they’ll feel right at home.
Lounging sets
Like reclining chairs, sun lounger sets are great around a firepit because they give you somewhere to completely relax. You can even imagine you’re on holiday.
Corner sets
Corner sofa sets are great for setting back in the crooks of your garden, creating an open space for your firepit to nestle right in too. Imagine the cosy image that a comfy, L-shaped corner set with a firepit glowing in front of it will create – you’ll never want to go back inside!
Corner sets are good around a firepit too because they also provide plenty of space for guests.
Rattan garden chairs
If you’re going for the complete outdoor look, rattan chairs around a firepit are perfect for this image. They’re durable and lightweight, but they provide the perfect comfy addition to toasting marshmallows around a firepit and imagining you’re in the open mountains.
Outdoor sofas
Popular in many gardens this year is the ability to bring your indoor comfort outside, and nothing says comfy like a sofa. Outdoor sofas are great around a firepit as you can enjoy the warmth while being as relaxed and cosy as you would be in your living room.
Mix and match
If you can’t decide what type of seating to go around your firepit, decide which ones you do like best and mix and match them. There’s no harm in having a couple of recliners next to your corner sofa, that way when you have guests, they can choose where’s most comfy for them.
Whichever chair you pick, make the most of your garden this year by sitting around your firepit.
