In the last couple of years, outdoor spaces are more important than ever to homeowners. These are some of the biggest trends in features that enhance a home’s outdoors.
Lounging and dining
Homeowners are requesting that designers create outdoor living and dining spaces specifically for entertaining and hanging out. This includes dining areas with some shade protection and linked to outdoor kitchens. Also, rather than traditional outdoor furniture, homeowners are looking for comfortable chairs with quality upholstery and additional living options like having a TV outdoors
Permanent shade
Functionality is what’s driving requests for covered living rooms and eating areas, as homeowners want to create comfortable, lounge-worthy spaces. Going custom is particularly popular rather than installing a prefabricated piece.
Outdoor activities
Just as homeowners want their yards to serve as extensions of their living spaces, they’re also asking pros to create dedicated spaces for working out and playing. This trend is based on the idea of creating a staycation in the backyard. “Resort-like” is the buzzword for many homeowners seeking to upgrade their outdoor spaces.
Pools
Homeowners are more than ready to take the plunge when it comes to constructing pools. People are having fun with their spaces, choosing a funky pool tile and backsplashes.
Privacy
Aside from a fun and inviting outdoor space, homeowners want to have more privacy, eliminate extraneous variables and have a healing, nurturing and a regenerative area. This means adding layers of plants, creating intimate spaces and designing garden rooms with smooth transitions.
