Summer often seems to come to an end far too quickly for many of us, and with the end of summer, we spend more of our time indoors, and less entertaining and enjoying our yards. At Spark Modern Fires, we believe that entertaining outdoors is possible, if not year-round, then extended well into fall simply by adding an outdoor fireplace to your property. Outdoor fireplaces provide warmth as well as a focal point for outdoor gatherings, and sitting by a fire with friends and family on a cool night is one of life’s great pleasures.

Adding a Spark to your patio or outdoor living area can only serve to add time and improve the ambiance and entertaining possibilities of your home. Installing a modern fireplace, fire cube, or ribbon can be just the start to creating a cozy and welcoming space to enjoy well into autumn. There are a variety of ways that you can use a Spark fireplace as a focal point for creating an atmosphere that reflects who you are. Here are a couple of ways you can enhance your outdoor gas fireplace from Spark to fit your home and personality.

Add String and Path Lights

Frame your fireplace and create an enchanting patio space through the use of smaller lights. You can create a story-book effect by adding lights that surround your fireplace. Enjoy a surreal experience with friends and family as you sit in front of a fire and under starts.

Add Throw Pillows and Blankets

If a cozy camp-like atmosphere is what you’re looking for, blankets and throw pillows, along with couches and lounge chairs are the perfect way to enjoy an outdoor fireplace. Camping is a time-honored tradition, and adding blankets and pillows to your outdoor fireplace is a great way to create the feeling of camping while having all the comforts of home.

It’s not too late to get a Spark fireplace installed in your outdoor space in time for you to enjoy the fall.
