Homeowners today are thinking far beyond the basics of a patio and a grill and are investing in outdoor spaces that are as thoughtfully designed and well-appointed as rooms inside the home.
Based on sales and input from contractors, retailers, and consumers of Trex Company, a composite decking brand, five trends are expected to shape backyards in the coming year.
- Seamless segues from the inside out—Homeowners are seeking innovative ways to create seamless transitions that blend the indoors and outdoors. An example would be sleek glass doors gliding open to reveal a deck adorned with plush seating, cozy rugs, and soft accent lighting.
- Climate-friendly features—Outdoor areas are designed to withstand every season and adapt to various conditions.
- Cozy and curated—Homeowners embrace the charm of smaller, purposefully designed outdoor spaces that cater to specific activities such as dining, socializing, or unwinding. Level changes, pergolas, and privacy screens are among the many ways builders incorporate architectural interest into outdoor spaces. Deck railings also play a pivotal role.
- Merging comfort with convenience—High-tech products such as app-controlled outdoor lighting, weatherproof audio and entertainment components, automated irrigation and smart security systems, built-in USB ports, wireless charging stations, and outdoor Wi-Fi hotspots are becoming increasingly popular.
- Sustainable and serenity: From lush gardens to yoga platforms and tranquil water features, decks and patios are turning into serene retreats that provide the perfect escape for relaxation and rejuvenation.
