As we step into the summer of 2024, thoughts are turning to outdoor living spaces—not just what we have, but what we’re dreaming of. Below are a few outdoor living trends for the season ahead that are shaping the way people utilize and enjoy their outdoor spaces.
Backyards in Bucks: What’s trending
1) Multi-Functional Outdoor Spaces: Outdoor areas are being designed to serve multiple purposes, blurring the lines between traditional indoor areas like those for dining, lounging, and recreation. Our customers have been looking to embrace the four seasons with updated hardscaping as well as flexible seating arrangements, convertible furniture, and modular layouts that can allow for seamless transitions between different activities.
2) Sustainable Landscaping: With homeowners growing ever more eco-conscious, we are seeing a rise in demand for sustainable landscaping, an approach that includes the use of native plants, drought-resistant gardens, rainwater harvesting systems, and eco-friendly hardscaping materials to minimize water usage and reduce environmental impact.
3) Landscape Lighting: Clients have been asking us to transform their garden and patio spaces with thoughtfully executed outdoor lighting designs that blend functionality and aesthetics. From illuminating beautiful stonework on the front of a home to creating luminous backyard wonderlands, outdoor lighting upgrades are on-trend for 2024.
4) Wellness-Minded Design: A desire to connect with the outdoors for wellness has long been something humans seek out and appreciate. In recent years, more and more outdoor spaces are being designed to promote health and wellness, with features including meditation gardens, yoga decks, outdoor fitness equipment, and spa-like amenities like hot tubs, saunas, and outdoor showers transforming homes into havens.
5) Al Fresco Dining Spaces: Dining outdoors continues to be a popular trend, with many homeowners looking to create inviting and stylish outdoor dining areas. These can include anything from an expansive dining table to ambient lighting, and outdoor kitchens equipped with grills, pizza ovens, and refrigeration, and more.
6) Biophilic Design: For those who aren’t familiar with the term, biophilic design emphasizes the connection between humans and nature, something many homeowners have been seeking out as of late. If you’re looking to incorporate natural elements like water features, living walls, or a vine-covered pergola, we can help enhance your outdoor space to emphasize well-being and relaxation.
7) Resort-Inspired Amenities: Who doesn’t dream of a resort-style backyard featuring the best of a vacation, but at home? We are seeing more and more homeowners looking to add outdoor amenities such as cabanas, fire pits, outdoor bars, and lounging areas complete with plush seating and tropical landscaping.
By incorporating these outdoor living trends into their spaces, homeowners can create functional, stylish, and inviting outdoor environments that enhance their quality of life and provide a sanctuary for relaxation and enjoyment during the summer of 2024.
