Everyone loves an indoor fireplace, but outdoor fireplaces can be just as transformative to a space. If your outdoor space is lacking character, a fireplace could be exactly what it needs to make it the kind of place in which you look forward to hanging out.

A fireplace instantly makes a space more inviting. Not only do they look great, but it’s wonderful to be able to snuggle up beside one on a cold night, roast smores over during the summer, and generally enjoy the ambiance it creates. There is something so relaxing about the glow and crackling of a lit fireplace.

Most spaces can accommodate the addition of a fireplace, even a small space. You can opt to build it into the architecture or purchase a stand-alone. There are plenty of options on the market, some of which can fit right into a small corner. There are also a variety of styles available depending on your tastes and the facade of your home, ranging from modern to rustic and everything in between.

Here are 10 outdoor fireplace ideas to inspire you.
