After more than a year of staycations and spending time at home, there is no better time to revamp your outdoor living space. Backyard renovations aren’t something homeowners do often so we wanted to walk you through the hottest 2021 outdoor trends that are sure to stay in style for years to come!
- Outdoor Entertaining
Having fewer options for indoor gatherings has forced homeowners to create beautiful outdoor seating and entertainment areas. Fire pits, outdoor couches and carpets are all increasing in popularity. If you want to make your outdoors as welcoming as the indoors, consider decorating and furnishing your space similar to the way you would your family room. - Outdoor Kitchens
If you thought a barbecue and propane tank were all you needed, think again. Higher end appliances are now being incorporated into backyard spaces. Although having a large area to work with is an asset, an outdoor kitchen can be made to fit any sized backyard with elements such as a pizza oven, grill, fridge and counter space. - Increased Privacy
Increased backyard privacy is becoming a priority to homeowners. Whether you’re moving your work-from-home space outside, exercising, meditating or tanning, more privacy is required. Covered patios, large fences or strategic landscaping are all great options to help achieve this. - Backyard Resorts
It is time to turn your yearly Mexican vacation into your own Porta-Backyarda retreat. Homeowners have been building in-ground pools, waterfalls, and large deck spaces this season. Adding lounge chairs, tiki torches and outdoor lighting are cost-effective ways to give your backyard that escapist feel. - Eat What You Grow
There is nothing better than eating fruit and vegetables that you have grown yourself. Go big with your garden if you have the space; aesthetic edible gardens are a trend that are unlikely to disappear anytime soon. Or, for smaller spaces, consider more compact garden planters arranged in fun and function configurations. Just make sure you have easy access to a water source and ample sunlight.
This year is a great time to focus your renovations on your outdoor spaces. With the short Canadian summers, some of these suggestions can help you create a space that gets you more bang for your buck year-round.
