Fire Stones and Fiber Balls For a Rustic Flair

Our Fire Stones and Ceramic Fiber Balls are another great option when selecting the base for your fire pit makeover. They give your fire pit and more natural look that harkens back to a campfire. This aesthetic can be further enhanced by adding our log and twig sets.

Choose your aesthetic:

  • Muted Grays for a river stone look

  • Vibrant Reds for a warm western look

  • Cobalt Blue Fiber Balls for a bold, designer pop

Layer 1.5–2 inches of fire stones over the burner area for optimal flame performance and visual impact.

Our Beach-Inspired Mixed Media Kits Offer a Unique Designer Look

Our Beach-Inspired Mixed Media kits have everything you need to recreate the feel of a bonfire on the beach in your own backyard. The curated kits are a mix of fire glass, fire stones, twigs, and ceramic sea creatures. They contain everything you need to create the perfect beach bonfire

Step 2: Add Texture with Enhance A Fire Ceramic Media for Fire Pits

Whatever you select for your base material, you can add other Enhance A Fire Products to create more texture and interest. For example, if you selected one of our Fire Glass products as your base, you can add our fiber balls or firestones to create a more dramatic look. On the other hand, if you select our Fire Stones as your base, a little Iridescent Fire Glass can add a pop of sparkle to any fire pit. Our Log and Twigs sets are also a great way to add visual interest to your fire pit. The only limit to the combinations you can create is your imagination, so don’t be afraid to mix and match to your heart’s content.

Step 3: Design in Layers for a Designer Finish

Use layering to create a balanced, modern layout:

  • Core zone (center flame): Keep this area primarily fire glass for visibility and safety

  • Accent ring: Place ceramic media in a loose ring around the flame for definition and texture

  • Perimeter: Use darker glass or a few stacked pieces to “frame” your fire pit visually

This creates visual depth and a professionally styled result, without any design degree required.

Step 4: Pick a Signature Color Palette for Your Fire Pit

Design your fire pit like you would a room. Choose a color palette that reflects your outdoor decor and personal style.

Modern palette ideas:

  • Monochrome Luxe: Gunmetal + Matte Gray Pebbles + Charcoal Accents

  • Desert Warmth: Bronze Glass + Rust Ceramic

  • Ocean Modern: Caribbean Blue Glass + Driftwood Accents

Every item in these combinations can be found right here at Enhance A Fire

Step 5: Style the Surround

Complete the look by pairing your fire pit with complementary outdoor pieces:

  • Soft outdoor seating with neutral tones

  • Modern planters or modular benches

  • Low-profile lighting to enhance the nighttime glow

And of course, your fire media is doing the heavy lifting visually—so let it shine.
