Screened porches have become a popular outdoor living space addition because people can enjoy outdoor views minus the bugs.
Outdoor living spaces will always remain high in demand. When homeowners are on the market for a new or first-time home, most look for a few things. Open layouts are popular, as well as kitchen islands. People also look for a beautiful backyard and home exterior that has a lot of curb appeal. Outdoor living spaces are hot commodities, and this trend, in general, will most likely never change. However, here are three specific outdoor living space trends that you may want to add to your yard before summer ends.
Places to Socialize and Bond With Friends and Family in Your Outdoor Living Space
The most common use that people have for an outdoor living space is using it as a place to socialize and bond with family and friends. During the pandemic, people lost the freedom of going out in large crowds to socialize. People have instead decided to use their homes creatively to host small and intimate gatherings. Look at your backyard as more than space for a beautiful garden. Consider all how you can enhance it to make spending time with family and friends that much better. For example, when it becomes colder, you may think of investing in a fireplace or fire pit so that the enjoyable times don’t have to stop because there is a bit of chill in the air.
Porches And Patios Combined
Many homeowners love the thought of having a custom porch and patio. You don’t have to limit yourself to merely one or the other. A paver patio combined with a screened porch can enhance your home and add value to it like never before. On a summer morning when the sun has yet to peak, you can have brunch out on the patio. When it becomes hot, you can step into your screened porch to find shade.
Outdoor Kitchens Are a Hot Commodity
Outdoor kitchens are a hot commodity because they are aesthetically pleasing but practical. They come with various features that can suit the needs of any homeowner. You can entertain guests, of course. However, what homeowners genuinely appreciate is the easy cleanup. An outdoor kitchen allows you to keep all of the smells and trash outdoors. Plus, cooking on the grill is a healthier option than frying food. When aesthetics and practicality meet, you can’t go wrong.
