Many of us now depend on outdoor spaces to provide additional living space.  We want a peaceful escape, and a place to connect with nature. Weather permitting, a wide variety of activities including work, play, cooking, relaxation, and entertaining are all moving outdoors.

 

 

1. Outdoor Workspaces

 

Remote working is here to stay—so why not try setting up an outdoor office space.  It could be as simple as choosing the right outdoor furniture to accommodate your needs or transform a garden shed into a private office.

 

 

2. Structured Outdoor Rooms

 

Patios, decks, and other outdoor areas are increasingly being treated as bonus living rooms, dining rooms, and kitchens.

 

 

3. Stylish Seating

 

Interior design trends are making their way outdoors. In fact, many furniture manufactures have extended their product lines to outdoor, ultimately blurring the lines between the two.  Textiles have also come such a long way allowing many fabrics to be made for outdoor use.

 

 

4. Backyard Escapes

 

As inflation and COVID-19 restrictions continue to make travel tricky, staycations are more appealing than ever. Outfitting your backyard with resort-style features can help you create a relaxing escape without the need for a plane ticket.
