The growth in fire features seems to simply parallel the growth in water features for pools.<\/p>\n<p>Fire features are also going upscale. No longer is it just a simple fire pit anymore for the <i>outdoor living<\/i> space, they&#8217;ve been taken it up a notch so that they now match any patio furniture and have features such as automated ignition and propane tanks hidden in pull out drawers.\u00a0 Fire features like these create an instant impact with the push of a button for your <u>outdoor living<\/u> space.<\/p>\n<p>Fire pits have even morphed into &#8216;fire furniture.&#8217; There are fire tables, fire bars, and fire banquettes where the flame area is surrounded by porcelain tile, decorative metal, natural stone, or slate.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 600px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/3235\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" \" title=\"outdoor living room with fireplace\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/images\/plans\/DTE\/M7550A4S-0\/Photo\/10-backpatio.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"325\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This large <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/3235\/\">Cape Cod style house plan<\/a>\u00a0delights with a charming outdoor entertainment area.
