I would argue that the ultimate hosting home essential, the one thing that elevates your home to the next level, is the humble fire pit. There's just something cool about having one in your garden. Big or small, sunken or standing, they aren't just about keeping you warm; they're about building atmosphere. And I've just found the most effortlessly elegant style — the Solene Fire Pit from Ferm Living, which is available from Westwing.
Most fire pits leave something to be desired when it comes to their design — too bulky, too boring, and too basic — but not this one. From one of my favorite Scandi brands, its design-forward style is every bit as elevated and chic as I could hope for, with a cool, oxidised finish that makes for a laid-back, sophisticated look.
