- Multi-function Outdoor Areas:
- Green and Eco-Friendly Intent for Design:
With sustainability as one of the strong or significant themes in outdoor designs today, homeowners are much more sensitive to environmental impacts than before. As such, they reflect these concerns in outdoor choices. Some sustainable design applications can include using environment-friendly materials or native flora needing less water. Decks built from recycled materials or sustainable sources of wood are increasingly popular, while many homeowners also opt for solar lighting to save on energy consumption.
- Outdoor Lighting for Ambience:
- Decks and Elevated Platforms:
- Blurring Indoor-Outdoor Boundaries:
The line between indoors and outdoors is increasingly blurred, with seamless transitions and consistent design elements. Large sliding doors, open floor plans, and matching indoor-outdoor furniture create a cohesive and expansive feel. Outdoor kitchens are also no longer a luxury; they’re a must-have for many homeowners, who love blending indoor-outdoor boundaries. They can be complete with grills, refrigerators, and even pizza ovens!
- Cozy and Inviting Retreats:
Have you ever considered your backyard as more than just a place to unwind with a cup of mulled wine in the evening? Imagine it as your own personal retreat – an outdoor haven where you can recharge after a long day in a welcoming ambiance. Invest in comfortable outdoor furniture such as lounge chairs, hammocks, or swings. Install a sound system to enjoy calming music or nature sounds. You can also add wind chimes or a small fountain for gentle, ambient sounds to complete the tranquil atmosphere.
The use of natural materials and textures in outdoor living spaces creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment. And you don’t have to break the bank to elevate your backyard. Incorporating elements like weathered wood, smooth stones, and woven fibers adds depth and character to your personal retreat.
Wrapping Up…
Of course, these are just a few of the exciting trends shaping the world of outdoor living. With just the right balance of function, sustainability, and aesthetics, you could create an outdoor extension of your home. What trends will you incorporate into your own outdoor haven?
