The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the flowers are blooming… it must (finally) be springtime in Seattle! This can mean one thing: it’s time to start entertaining outdoors. A key piece in a successful backyard hang sesh is our fire pit. When we renovated the patio last summer for One Room Challenge, I treated our fire pit as the centerpiece. It’s the best place to gather round and hang out! So many people ask about our fire pit, so it felt right to do a round up of my fave sources for modern fire pits!

15+ Modern Fire Pits To Complete Your Backyard Oasis
When it comes to shopping for modern fire pits, I always look for clean lines and cool materials. I prefer fire pits with architectural details like metal mesh, sturdy legs, and even wood storage! As for finishes, matte black is the classic finish you’ll find. I’ve also found some really cool patina-ed rust or copper options. Personally, I like iron fire pits because they age beautifully over time. And lastly, I love fire pits that come with accessories like a spark screen, log turner, fire poker, or covers for winter months.
