Our Top Trends for 2022 in the UK
1. A focus on socialising
It’s been a tough couple of years for everyone and the sense of isolation that many of us have felt will almost certainly be something to avoid in 2022.
More time spent with friends and family will be the focus and making sure we all make up for lost time.
Having a nice cosy outdoor space to gather will play a key feature and fire pits that offer additional seating or that is perfect for gathering the family around will be on-trend.
The EcoSmart Fire Gin 90 Dinning is a perfect example of a fire pit built to socialise around. A table with bioethanol fuelled fire burning in the centre it’s the perfect spot for a bit of al fresco dining.
The Hartman Apollo Fire Pit Lounge Set is the perfect addition to any outdoor space complete with comfortable seating for up to 8 people and a gas fire burning fire pit table.
2. A focus on our environmental impact
A clear focus on fighting climate change and being mindful of our own environmental impact will only grow over the coming years, bioethanol fire pits will start to emerge as fire pit leaders in 2022.
Bioethanol is a renewable and sustainable fuel source. It’s a by-product from the agricultural industry and is made through natural fermentation. This makes it by far the most eco-friendly fire pit fuel available.
In addition to that, bioethanol also is a clean-burning fuel, meaning it only gives off heat, water, and the smallest amount of CO2. You get no dangerous toxins, smoke, or any other off-putting fumes. You also don’t have the risk of carbon monoxide. This makes them ideal for both outdoor and indoor use.
There are many benefits to using bioethanol fire pits, and these benefits are definitely pushing them to the top of the trend list for 2022.

3. More time spent outside
The pandemic is unfortunately still going strong, and it doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon.
While we’re fortunate enough to have restrictions eased there are still many that will be taking those extra precautions and hosting outside. This will in turn naturally lead to paying closer attention to your outdoor space, and they want to make it as comfortable and aesthetic as possible.
Fire pits will likely be one of the key focuses for this as they are the perfect spot to gather friends and family around to make memories long into the night.
The great thing is that there are so many aesthetic variations and styles when it comes to your fire pit you will almost certainly be able to find something to suit your needs.
For us the key fire pit aesthetic trends for 2022 will be:
Corten Steel
Corten steel has been popular for a few years, and this popularity shows no signs of slowing down.
It is the ideal material for fire pits, particularly traditional wood burning fire pits, as it is incredibly durable, lightweight, and absolutely stunning to look at.
The natural controlled rusting that occurs on the surface acts as a protective layer for the metal. This not only adds to its durability but also means that it needs little to no maintenance and can be left out in the elements.
GrillSymbol Chiaro Fire Pit Corten Steel – is the perfect example of style and functionality. Its shape and design make it the perfect fire pit for gathering around and socialising a little distance.

Fire Pit Tables
As mentioned above, gathering friends and family is likely to be a strong focus for many in 2022 and there’s no better place to do this than around a free-standing fire pit table.
The Hartman range of fire pits tables offer so much. You can choose between a wood burning table, which also converts into a BBQ grill or an ice bucket. If burning wood isn't your thing, then the ultra conveneinet and luxurious Hartman Aurora or Apollo ranges will please all.
4. Multifunction fire pits
Outdoor kitchens are also becoming more and more popular, and this trend will continue into 2022. Fire pit’s that offer multifunction that include being able to cook food are ideal for this very thing.
There’s nothing better than cooking outdoors! The smells, the flavours, everything about it says summer, holidays, and good times.
