1. Fire-Pit Zone with a gallery-style arrangement

Fire-Pit Zone with a gallery-style arrangement — home · Garden & Outdoor

Fire-Pit Zone is best approached with curiosity: try it once, notice what works, and refine from there.

A gallery-style arrangement is what gives this version its identity, so give it a little extra care. Add a layer of warm light to the fire-Pit zone; a lamp or candle changes the mood more than new furniture.

Hang art with its centre at about eye level, roughly 145 cm from the floor. Mixing wood tones is fine if you repeat each tone at least twice in the room.

Save this one for later; fire-Pit zone is the kind of idea that becomes more useful the more you think about it.

Measure twice and tape the outline on the floor before buying larger furniture. Odd numbers, like three lamps or five frames, look more natural than even sets.
