Think about convenience and the sort of seating you plan to use (or not) around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Low (12-18 inches)<\/b> &#8211; These tables are best suited for lounging in an informal and relaxed atmosphere. Low-profile sectionals or a corner sofa and well-spaced lounge chairs work well with fire pit tables in this height range. While they&#8217;re easy to gather around and are great for children, they may be a bit uncomfortable for eating and more difficult for some people with back issues to access.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Chat (19-24 inches)<\/b> &#8211; These multi-functional tables are a bit of a hybrid between low and dining heights. They work with lounge seating in smaller spaces. Their mid-range height makes them easier to use to eat than lower versions while maintaining a more relaxed feel than dining styles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Dining (24-32 inches)<\/b> &#8211; These fire tables are appropriate for casual dining and larger gatherings. Combine them with patio dining side and armchairs to create an alfresco dining setting that&#8217;s perfect for sharing a meal and good conversation with family and friends. Since there will likely be a lot of reaching going on, there must be ample tabletop space and appropriate flame guards. You might want to forego using that lacy tablecloth though.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Bar (35-42 inches)<\/b> &#8211; These firepit tables are a bit taller to accommodate barstools or standing access. They don&#8217;t require as much surface area, since they need only manage drinks and small plates or bowls. They&#8217;re ideal for cocktail parties and mingling, or to share an intimate moment for two. Bar height and counter height fire tables are less suited for relaxing and may not be great for shorter adults or children.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fire-pit-table-designs-style.webp\" alt=\"Traditional brown aluminum fire pit table with stone top surrounded by plush outdoor lounge chair on a large patio\" class=\"wp-image-18734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fire-pit-table-designs-style.webp 702w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fire-pit-table-designs-style-333x222.webp 333w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fire-pit-table-designs-style-222x148.webp 222w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fire-pit-table-designs-style-113x75.webp 113w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fire-pit-table-designs-style-444x296.webp 444w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fire-pit-table-designs-style-452x301.webp 452w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fire-pit-table-designs-style-500x333.webp 500w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fire-pit-table-designs-style-670x447.webp 670w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fire-pit-table-designs-style-600x400.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"consider-style\">Consider Style<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Design style is another critical aspect to keep in mind when choosing a fire pit table for your outdoor space. Your choice can seamlessly complement your overall decor, provide a dramatic and appealing focal point or both. It also makes a difference whether it&#8217;s a permanent installation or a freestanding fire table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to hire a mason or contractor to design and build one, then you might want to go with a style that closely matches that of your existing patio or home&#8217;s architecture. Unless you also intend to overhaul your entire backyard area, it&#8217;s safer to stay consistent with a look you&#8217;re familiar with. It may also help you if or when you decide to sell your home &#8211; it has curb appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Portable versions come in many styles and allow you to venture outside of your comfort zone versus the permanence that comes with built-in models. Minimalist designs have clean lines that can work with a variety of decor. The more ornate the design, the greater the chance that a firepit table clashes with your patio furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like art, style is a very personal thing. Despite popular opinion, traditional designs are not always &#8220;timeless classics&#8221; and modern styles are not necessarily &#8220;trendy.&#8221; Find a look that appeals to you and allows you to update furnishings and landscape without the fear that it won&#8217;t go together.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low.jpg\" alt=\"Fire Pit Table Buying Guide - Design - Height - Low\" class=\"wp-image-15253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low-702x468.jpg 702w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low-430x287.jpg 430w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fire-pit-table-buying-guide-design-height-low-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"small-accents\">Small Accents<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>While you want to keep flammable items away from the open flame of your firepit table, non-flammable accents can put a finishing touch on things. Burners of gas-powered or bio-ethanol fire tables are often partially covered or surrounded by decorative fireproof materials, such as <strong>tempered glass beads<\/strong> or faux charcoal. <strong>Volcanic lava rock<\/strong> is another favorite to scatter around the recessed firebox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#32373c;background-color:#008080\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-notice gb-font-size-18 gb-block-notice\" data-id=\"c3a3d3\"><div class=\"gb-notice-title\" style=\"color:#fff\"><p>Helpful Article<\/p><\/div><div class=\"gb-notice-text\" style=\"border-color:#008080\">\n<p>Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/outdoor-fire-pit-buying-guide-features-accessories\/#decorative-media-accenting-your-firepit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outdoor Fire Pit Buying Guide<\/a> for more information on the various decorative media used with fire pit tables.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ready-to-enjoy-your-fire-pit-table\">Ready to enjoy your fire pit table<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Kudos to you for educating yourself on the important factors that impact fire pit table effectiveness.
