To give you a bit more variety beyond your home’s walls, consider redesigning your outdoor spaces to create a haven for recreation and relaxation. Best of all, outdoor spaces add value to your home if you plan to sell.

If you need ideas on how to revamp your outdoor spaces, consider these top five outdoor design trends for 2022. Get inspired and create your own outdoor oasis.

1. Functionality

Homeowners are prioritizing day-to-day use of their outdoor spaces instead of entertaining, driving a need for functionality. Practical elements like lighting and audio technology can elevate the outdoor space. Other features like shade structures, privacy walls and screens, built-in barbecue grills and Wi-Fi allow you to use the space for working, relaxing, cooking and more.

2. Defined rooms

Whether it’s an outdoor kitchen, office or living room, homeowners are leaning toward creating more efficient, defined outdoor spaces. Homeowners want to use outdoor living on a day-to-day basis to unwind, connect with nature and take advantage of the health and well-being benefits the outdoors provide.

Do you prefer walking and biking to sitting in traffi c? Love the hustle and bustle of the city but abhor long commutes? Enjoy taking a spontaneous stroll to a nearby restaurant for dinner and music. If this sounds like you, we suggest you forget life in the ‘burbs and go urban.

A growing resurgence in downtown Nashville has brought a wealth of living options to the city’s urban landscape, along with a vibrant community of restaurants, shops and clubs. recently cited Nashville as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. From Tootsie’s to Mercy Lounge to The Station Inn, downtown music venues offer everything from rock and country to bluegrass and rockabilly.

If you’re looking to set up shop, offi ce space downtown is plentiful and growing. Speaking of the offi ce: Did you know that Forbes.com ranks Nashville 10th in the country of “Best Places for Business and Careers”? And sixth among “Best Cities for Jobs”? Plus Business Insider recently took note of Nashville as one of the “13 Hottest American Cities for 2016.” The nod cited Music City as the “new center of the auto and health-care industries,” noting 300- plus health-care companies and more than 30,000 auto industry jobs.

For urban dwellers, The Gulch in downtown Nashville is the place to be. Properties like Velocity, Terrazzo and Davidson Encore offer the ultimate digs for downtown living. And with the tremendous growth this former railroad yard has seen, you can always fi nd something to do here. Of course there’s always music. (It is Music City, after all.) Travel + Leisure

The growth, action and entertainment extend to numerous dining and entertainment options down on Lower Broadway and out on West End. Not to mention the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, The Parthenon, Centennial Park, Hillsboro Village… the list goes on.

These are just a few of the reasons to consider living in the heart of Music City. One more reason: We’re just so darn nice. But don’t take our word for it. Travel + Leisure’s 2015 survey ranked Nashville #1 on its list of America’s Friendliest Cities.

and fresh air. Adding an outdoor kitchen may inspire you to make dishes using herbs and veggies you’ve grown in your garden, and an outdoor living room can help you bring the family together at the end of the school and workday.

3. Monochromatic colors with accents

While lighter, tone-on-tone color palettes remain popular, accent colors and accessories are on the rise. Using cool, monochromatic tones with choice accent colors can create a brighter or contrasting outdoor living space. Jetset, Belgard’s 2022 Color of the Year, is a true blue that is the perfect pop of color to enhance any color palette. “Jetset is a much-needed dose of liveliness and joy,” said Joe Raboine, director of residential hardscapes at Belgard. “It represents the excitement of a new year and the readiness to do more, be more and live more.”

4. Modular design and geometric patterns

Another popular trend is modular, geometric standard patterns composed of clean lines and simple formats. Simple patterns create a modern, uncluttered aesthetic that emphasizes furniture or other focal points in the space. Large format patterns and pavers also lend themselves to this style, allowing for more efficient installation.

5. Entangled design

As people blend their outdoor spaces to serve as extensions of their homes, many are focusing on entangled design, which combines the surrounding landscape with the hardscape design. Fractured edges with no defined break, natural stone transitions and irregular edges blended with boulders, grass and aggregate create a more natural, organic look that enhances design continuity. To increase the depth of greens, grays and other neutral tones associated with entangled, biophilic design, consider using Jetset as the accent color for your outdoor spaces.

Nashville has long been known for its country music scene, but these days the city draws attention for more than its tunes. National publications are tak ing note of everything

Nashville, from food and fashion to music and more.

In 2015, Forbes magazine ranked Nashville on its list of “Boom Towns for College Graduates,” and Forbes.com calls Music City one of the “Best Places for Business and Careers.” Time declared the city as “Red

Hot” for a burgeon ing music business, a diverse and thriving music scene, and our charming ability to live among the stars and leave them alone.

Some may think of Nashville as a meat-and-three kind of town, but Nash ville’s hip food scene is getting noticed. Travel + Leisure lauded the city for offerings as diverse as hot chicken (Prince’s), Mexican popsicles (Las Paletas) and farm-to-table

meals (Margot Cafe & Bar). And with standout restaurants like Adele’s, The Catbird Seat and Husk, the city is drawing attention from publications like USA Today and Southern Living.

Nashville’s vibrant music scene is another trait that earns nods. Travel + Leisure recently cited the city as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. And with venues like The Bluebird Cafe, 3rd and Lindsley, The Station Inn and Ryman Auditorium, it’s no surprise that Orbitz declared Nashville’s music scene as #4 in the country (right behind NYC, LA and Chicago).

Nashville has even been noticed for one of its delightful Southern charms: its accent. While accents are sometimes the source of jokes and ridicule, Travel + Leisure readers seem to think otherwise. On a list of “America’s Most Charming Accents,” readers ranked Nashville #4. Seems folks love the Nashville drawl, y’all, noting that residents here have “added some city” to their Southern accent.

Music City is also a thriving hub for indus try; many companies have a long history here. Bridgestone, HCA, BMI, Thomas Nel son Publishing, Louisiana-Pacifi c and Dollar General all have corporate offi ces here — a testament to strong business foundations and economic growth.
