License to Chill
We may have warm weather all year round, but nothing says summer more than spending a little more time outside. Whether you’re preparing for those sporadic weekend get-togethers or giving yourself more space to relax and soak in some sun, make your outdoor space just as stylish and comfortable as the rest of your home with this year’s top trends.
STRUCTURED OUTDOOR ROOMS

Whether you have a sprawling backyard or a compact patio, you can create well-defi ned rooms that serve as bonus living areas by adding some structure with the right furnishings. Reinforce that room-like feel using modular seating, pergolas, and cabanas to create walls and ceilings for your space.

OUTDOOR KITCHENS
The National Kitchen & Bath Association recently reported that 60% of homeowners are looking to add an outdoor kitchen this year. From fancy cooking systems like outdoor pizza ovens to dining areas for a more restaurant-esque feel, the ability to cook and entertain outside is the mark of a true indoors-out living space.

With the rise of shows like “Barkitecture,” it’s only fitting this animal-first design trend would extend to the great outdoors as well. The whole concept of “petscaping” is creating a garden free of pesticides and creating zones for your pets to play and use the bathroom. This includes removing toxic plants, adding in pet-friendly alternatives, hardscaping, and adding in engaging attractions like water features or agility courses.

OUTDOOR CLIMATE CONTROL
Gone are the days of sweating through a summer barbecue or freezing through a windy evening with the help of outdoor climate control. This can mean warming things with a fi re pit, freestanding tower heaters, or wall-mounted space heaters. It can also mean cooling things down with mounted ceiling or wall fans or a patio misting system.
