      A fire pit can be a beautiful decorative piece for any patio or deck area. Place the fire pit at an angle in the corner of the porch, so you can decorate with adjacent flower pots and summer garden accents. A fire pit is made out of terra-cotta, it blends right in with your backyard decor.

      A fire pit can be decorated with candles when it is not used for wood burning, during the warmer months. Place candles on the inside the fire pit and lit them at night to create a romantic effect. You can purchase aromatic candles if you like. Your family will comment on how wonderful the patio smells. It makes sense to purchase candles that come in a small glass containers, so the wax does not melt into the fire pit.
