Working with a small deck space? Here's one way to safely add a fireplace to a compact outdoor space – perhaps you are looking for warming balcony ideas. The freestanding Le Feu Ground Low Bio Ethanol Fireplace, which is built with a wooden tripod base, will keep your outdoors super cozy no matter the time or month and it can do so without releasing damaging emissions into the atmosphere. 

That's because the outdoor fireplace uses eco-friendly bio-ethanol fuel meaning you can turn up the temperature with smokeless flames. This makes it perfect for those living in close proximity to neighbors. 

If you a considering a fireplace at the outset of designing your outdoor space, try a built-in option. This stone design in the Wildwood Spa holiday let curated with help from Wayfair was constructed as part of a covered area, blended into the landscape. They used the local stone for an organic look, but limestone marble and granite are all popular choices.

The look is finished with a pair of Wayfair's Aamani garden chairs which come with cushions and footstools, perfect for lounging in front of the flames with a glass of wine.

If you don't have the means to build a fireplace outside, you can still recreate that traditional shape and brick structure. If this is your vibe, look no further than this Sunjoy Gwendolyn Outdoor Patio Heavy Duty Wood Burning Fireplace with Steel Chimney complete off the peg from Amazon.

It comes with a fire poker, mesh spark screen doors and a removable grate. As you can see, it's a lot more substantial and imposing than a patio heater. But just be warned: these things aren't small, so you'll want to position yours in the center of your patio to make the most of it and distribute heat in your space evenly. 

Want a more streamlined, contemporary backyard idea? Look for an electric or gas outdoor fireplace insert, just like this swish example from Amazon. 

This rectangular stainless steel fireplace can be built into your garden wall and along with firing out lots of heat, it looks good too. While you will need professional help fitting this to your outside space, the durable stainless steel construction will be a game-changer in your outdoor space for years (and years) to come. 

And, if you're a fan of stylish outdoor lighting, you'll be pleased to know this fireplace comes with multicolored LED lights. 

Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to have tons of space to have a fireplace in your outdoors. Chimeneas, like this Wayfair number, offer a great compromise for those who don't have much room for a roomy outdoor fireplace. 

The best chimeneas come in a wide variety of designs, but the most recognizable ones are cone or chimney-shaped structures with log stores at the bottom. They will keep you warmer than fire pits as they direct the heat more efficiently, but can still fit onto a tiny patio. It's a win-win. 

Somewhere between a fire pit and a chiminea, this outdoor fireplace is super sturdy and modern in its design. It's a sure-fire way to bring the best of both worlds in terms of style and warmth into any and every outdoor space. All you've got to do is add firewood or kindling and then the cozy vibes can begin. 

You might not have the pool, but that's not to say you can't get a little fancy with an outdoor fireplace. 

This charming outdoor wood-burning wall fireplace makes the perfect visual for an alfresco dining. We adore the visible vertical flue, making this super contemporary and chic. And just think how warm and cozy you'll be while enjoying dinner with friends or family. 

Outdoor fireplaces don't have to be fitted or mounted on a wall. Similar to a fire pit that can be moved around and placed into storage during the snowy months, this gas outdoor fireplace, from Wayfair,  is a brilliant option to welcome into your backyard. 

It's gorgeously freestanding and see-through making it another modern option that would work really well to zone an outdoor lounge area too. Our advice? Grab a glass of your favorite tipple and your evenings are sorted.
