Outdoor Living 2020
Bringing the INDOORS out.
Curtis Burchett, REALTOR Long gone are the days of the folding chair and a few lawn darts out in the backyard near the charcoal grill. Today’s outdoor living spaces are evolving into extensions of the home with confortable confortable,but butdurable durable furniture, plush seating and decorative accents. If you want to expand your outdoor living space into a retreat you love, love -here hereare arethe thehottest hottesttrends trendswe’re we’re seeing for 2020. One project that is trending on Pinterest is garden rooms. These rooms are created by outdoor structures that are built or arranged to feel like an actual room. If you don’t want to construct a space of this type, you can accomplish a similar feeling by adding plants of varying heights to fill the space, or surround a path by different sized plants leading to
a destination with a bench or soft seating - that feels like a room - without the build. One of the biggest trends for this year is an outdoor kitchen bar - complete with refrigerator, lighting and a grill. If you want to go high-end, you can build out the area into your existing hardscaping. If you’re on a budget, you can get a similar feel with a moveable bar cart or kitchen cart. Pergolas are seeing a resurgance in popularity. Wooden pergolas have been around for years, but today’s modern pergolas can include vinyl, aluminum and fiberglass alternatives which are easier to maintain, are stronger and can last longer than traditional wood options.
