The Year’s Top Outdoor Renovation Trends

Homeowners looking to add entertaining space, enhance curb appeal, and increase ambiance often focus on updating their outdoor areas first. These spaces usually get the most use when hosting birthday parties, graduations, and other events.

If you’re looking for ideas to upgrade your outdoors, consider the following ideas:

Outdoor Kitchens

One of the most popular outdoor projects is an open-air kitchen. Each can be tailored to the size and style of the property. Consider adding a bar area for food prep and seating, cooktops and outdoor grills, smokers, or pizza ovens. The kitchen can be enhanced with LED lighting, outdoor heating elements, pergolas, and pavilions.  

Fire Features

There’s nothing better than gathering together around a fire pit or fireplace. It extends outdoor entertaining while keeping bugs and pests away. You can also cook dinner over an open flame. Fire pits can be made of stone, cement, or brick. They can be heated with propane or flame logs.   

A Harmonized Style

Your front entrance is the first thing visitors see when approaching your home. Make sure it’s inviting. The style of your front door, porch, house numbers, and plants should complement each other. Keep the same style and color palette throughout your front, whether it’s modern, classic, or contemporary.

Go High Tech

Landscaping design and installation has evolved with emerging technology. Outfit your outdoor living space with a high-tech sound system or lighting. Smart censors anticipate weather conditions and pivot the louvers in pavilions to protect your furniture from the elements. Most of these systems can be controlled by your phone, giving you peace of mind when you’re not home.

Take these steps to plan, design and create a stunning outdoor space you will enjoy for years to come. You’ll never regret investing in a project that enhances your home, increases your property value, and provides endless hours of enjoyment for your family.
