Natural Fibers and Materials
People are looking towards nature for their inspiration and adding more neutral colors such as taupe, grey, and brown. As the base palette trends towards a more natural look that blends with the environment, we are also seeing pops of color, similar to the flowers in your garden.
Indoor, Outdoor Looks
Your patio has become an extension of your home. Because of this, you’ll notice that many outdoor furniture lines look like they could be at home inside or outside.
They are so comfortable, that you won’t have to choose where to sit based on what feels best. You’ll also notice shapes and styles that can fit any environment.
Minimalism
With this trend, people are choosing white as their main color and adding in brushed aluminum or wood furniture.
You can take the white trend in several ways. Think antique, white-washed, or the new modern-rustic-very comfortable route with all white cushions and frames.
The Outdoor Kitchen
This trend has been growing for the last couple of years! People are taking it outside. Not only does this make your house bigger by adding another room, but it adds ambiance, fun, and practicality to your backyard.
During the summer, you keep the heat outside when you cook. And, with some patio heaters, you can enjoy the space in the fall and winter.
With outdoor kitchens from NatureKast, and grills from Traeger and Big Green Egg, you extend your living and cooking space.
Think function in your outdoor space as it’s a great place to cook, hang out and relax.
