The rise in popularity of Outdoor Fireplaces & Fire Pits

During the pandemic, home renovations experienced a surge in popularity. In fact, a survey by Houzz found that around three out of five of us have started a home renovation or re-design project over the course of the pandemic.

One area of the home in which this peak is most obvious is in the garden.

Even now that lockdown has lifted, we’ve all gotten used to spending more time at home and in the garden. We’ve learned to love our outdoor spaces, and see the fun in playing host.

As a result, we’ve seen how garden design trends have experienced a new wave of innovation.

And after all, now that we’re using our gardens so much more often, these renovations are certainly worth the investment.

5 reasons why outdoor fireplaces and firepits are so on-trend

In recent months, our range of outdoor fireplaces and firepits have proven to be hugely popular.

The sector has experienced significant growth during the pandemic, and outdoor fireplaces and firepits in particular have rapidly become one of the most sought-after garden additions out there. They’ve quickly become one of the new hottest garden trends, both for the summer and the winter months.

There are a wide range of reasons behind their popularity. Not only do firepits improve the usability of your garden throughout the entire year, but they also provide a chic design feature, and a natural focal point which people can congregate around during a gathering.

The benefits of outdoor fireplaces and firepits include:

1. Styles to suit every garden

At Rotherham Fireplace Centre, we provide our customers with a vast range of different outdoor fireplaces. These include sizes, styles, designs and materials to suit every budget, while giving you plenty of scope to find a product that seamlessly blends into your existing garden aesthetic.

2. A central point to shape your garden landscaping

From this point, you can then bring in cosy seating, an outdoor dining area, fairy lights, cooking spots, or any other useful features that you want to include in your garden – you’ve got full flexibility to create a cosy, usable space which perfectly fits your specific requirements.

3. Entertain late into the evenings

We can hardly count on the Great British sunshine to keep us warm. Normally, even in the summers, garden parties need to be disbanded by 8. Or, you need to provide enough blankets for all your guests.

With a fire pit, you can keep everyone lovely and warm late into the evening. Plus, it brings a lovely, chilled vibe to the occasion.

4. Add home value

Outdoor fire pits are a great investment option.

Since they are so desirable and usable, (not to mention their being very much in-fashion) they can actually increase the value of your property.

5. They’re safe and easy to use

Outdoor fire pits are infinitely safer, easier and cleaner than setting up a bonfire in your back garden.

They are remarkably easy to use, and can be conveniently turned on and off, when needed. What’s more, they are odourless and completely smoke-free.

At Rotherham Fireplace Centre, we supply and install a wide range of outdoor fireplaces. Our range is filled with state of the art models, delivering a chic, elegant finish which is bang-on-trend.

With the help of our fireplace specialists, you can find the perfect model to fit your garden. Simply give us a call to find out more.
