A fire table is a statement-making outdoor feature that creates an inviting ambiance for entertaining or simply relaxing. These tables come in varying heights, shapes, and finishes, which allows for some flexibility when we design an outdoor space for a client who wants to include a fire table. Many tables are available with environmentally friendly bioethanol or natural gas and therefore burn cleanly and produce fewer emissions into the atmosphere. Here are five fire table styles.

Square: This classic cocktail table shape is wonderful to use in a lounge area surrounded by a sectional and/or oversized chairs and helps to enhance an intimate space.

Dining table or bar: We all love gathering around food and drinks. Add in a glowing fire and dining together just got even better. Opt for a modern design like this dining table by Paloform.

Rectangular: Rectangular tables work well in a larger lounge space. You could also place them strategically to create a focal point or delineate different areas. This handcrafted piece by Dekko has a cutout detailing that really elevates the design of the table.

Asymmetrical: This rectangular table (at cocktail height) has the fire pit on one side, which provides more space on the other side for drinks and food. The design is unique and functional.

Round: A versatile round table has the feel of a traditional “fire pit” but still has a clean, contemporary design. The round size (often offered in various diameters) and shape works well in both large and small outdoor spaces.
