5 Unique Outdoor Trends

You may have noticed some ongoing trends in outdoor living spaces. Gone are the days where everyone had the same options for their patio. We now live in a world where you can find nearly every style you’re looking for, and if not, you can do it yourself. With so many opportunities to express your creativity on the canvas that is your backyard, it’s no wonder why some of these ideas are so unique.

Creating an Experience:

01

Many people look at their outdoor living space as a place to gather and lounge. The concept of “Creating an Experience” really relies on providing some form of entertainment or moment by use of decor. Some examples include arranging your yard into a giant chessboard complete with pieces, embellishing your space with interactive elements, or decorating your space with mind boggling puzzles and art. Creating an experience usually results from an extraordinary display, so thinking outside of the box on how to get your guests involved is key.

 

Biophilic Inspirations:

“Biophilia” is all about the love of nature. By incorporating natural elements into your outdoor living space, you create a sense of connectivity with the environment. These particular styles come with a lot of responsibility and maintenance, as much of what makes the space unique is alive and requires attention and care. Conditions for these livings spaces also need to be considered, but the payoff is a lush and living habitat.

 

Indoors Out:

Bringing the indoors outside may seem a little ironic. Surely, the two spaces offer their own collection of benefits, but a current trend is to mirror a living room on the patio or in the yard. The outdoor kitchen is a great example of how people are looking to migrate their indoor routines to the world outside. And with things like loveseats, sofa-beds, coffee tables, rugs, and intricate dining sets, these outdoor spaces never looked so comfortable.

 

Region Imitation:

Sure, you can decorate your outdoor space as a typical yard with a pool, some chairs, and a few lounges. But people are finding ways to get more creative. If you have the funds and interest, you can decorate your space nearly any theme you want. Imitating a region like Tuscany or the tropics might be the refreshing take on outdoor design that you’ve been looking for. You can literally walk into a whole other world.

 

Lit:

Outdoor lighting is a game changer. Not only is it practical, it creates a sense of ambiance. Using floodlights and porch lights as opposed to soft lighting is something most people want to leave in the past when they have guests over for an evening of socializing. Soft lights can be enchanting and really take the decor to a whole new level after dark. And with innovations that alleviate the dangers of electricity and the elements, you can be sure that your set up will be able to withstand inclement weather conditions.
