Create a Cozy Retreat: The Perfect Outdoor Lighting and Fire Pit Combo in the Franklin, TN Area
Looking for a special place to relax? If you want to embrace a cozy vibe that will encourage those closest to you to gather outside for some quality time, adding an outdoor lighting and fire pit combination to your Franklin, TN, landscape is a way to do so. Here are some considerations to making this happen.
Fire Pit Locations
When you scope out your backyard and take into account your current landscape design, you can figure out where to put your new fire pit addition. Maybe you want to keep this fire feature close to the house so it’s in a central location or perhaps you want to have the fire pit built alongside your pool patio for summer pool parties during the nighttime hours. Here are some top spots to build your new fire pit:
Backyard patio: When you add a fire pit to your backyard patio, you don’t have far to go from your back door to your warm fire feature. You can gather seating around your new fire pit or add a retaining wall to section off your patio from the rest of the yard and increase your seating options.
Pool patio: If you have a pool in your yard, the addition of a fire pit will bring a party atmosphere to the pool patio. Think pool parties throughout the summer and nighttime soirees in the comfort of your own property.
Side yard: Adding a fire pit to your side yard will help make use of a large area of land. You can ask the landscape contractor to build a paver walkway out to the fire pit area for ease of access for all.
Outdoor Lighting Inspiration
In addition to a fire pit added to your yard, the landscape contractor can also help you out with your outdoor lighting goals. You can add outdoor lighting to many areas around your property to illuminate the location and provide a lovely ambience. Here are some spots to consider adding outdoor lights:
Pergola and pavilion lighting: If you have a pergola or pavilion in your yard near your new fire pit, adding outdoor lighting to the structure can bring the welcoming attributes to the forefront. Elevated lighting on the top and support beams of the pergola or pavilion will provide ambient lighting for you when you sit around the fire pit or underneath the structure.
Outdoor kitchen area: When you have an outdoor kitchen and your new fire pit is built next to this area, add outdoor lights to the space surrounding the outdoor kitchen and fire feature.
Pool patio: Outdoor lighting added to your pool patio area will increase your gathering options and make it easier to use this area at night. You can place outdoor lights around the patio perimeter and highlight the area where your fire pit is located.
Walkway lighting: Make sure your friends and family members can see their way along your property paths by adding walkway lighting to your paver walkways. Maybe you have a long walkway headed out to the fire pit in your side yard. By adding outdoor lights to the sides of the walkway, you can make the journey to this relaxation spot a smooth one.
