Sunken Fire Pits Combine The '70s Trend With Summer Hangouts

Who here enjoys a good bonfire? I do, I do. In fact, we have a fire pit in our backyard that has gotten a lot of use already.

But there's nothing better than sitting by the fire roasting marshmallows and watching the night sky in the summer. However, now you can do it in style, and I'm going to tell you how.

So what is this idea I'm talking about here?

Well, have you heard of a sunken fire pit before? I have to admit I have not. But now that I found out about it, I'm rethinking our entire backyard setup. Oh, yeah!

It's actually a simple concept, but it will require some work and ingenuity to set up.

If you have seen a sunken living room before, it's basically a similar idea. Only this time, you are obviously creating it outside.

I mean, what a cool idea, huh?

I absolutely love it. There are so many different ways you can make it happen. It all depends on your backyard setup. Here's one that somebody created on their deck. How sweet is that?

And check out this amazing idea here.

Oh my goodness, wow. I'm so impressed by this. I think we have enough room in our backyard to create something like this. I just don't know who's going to do it, ha, ha!

Here's a more simple solution suitable for a backyard.

If you know how to make a raised bed garden, this concept shouldn't be too hard for you to figure out. I really like this idea, too. Doesn't it look totally doable?

I like how it fits so nicely with the rest of the decor here. I could get used to hanging out in a space like this, that's for sure.

Now, if the ultimate comfort is what you're after, this might be more up your alley.

I would love to create a cozy outdoor space like this one day. I'm totally saving this idea for future inspiration. Do you love it, too?

Last but definitely not least is this unbelievable idea.

I mean, why not create a sunken fire pit inside of your pool, huh? Okay, this takes the cake for the most outrageous of the designs. Am I right? Ha, ha!

So are you sold on this sunken fire pit idea or not?

I have to admit I absolutely love it. There's nothing more I want than to create something like this once we buy a house. Oh my goodness, I can't wait for that.
