Outdoor Spaces Are Just As Important As Indoor Spaces

Homeowners’ expectations for life at home have completely transformed since the early 2020s. And for Coloradans, that applies as much to our outdoor spaces as it does to our interiors. We treasure our summer evenings on the patio and in the yard. So here are the design trends: homeowners are allocating more time and higher budgets toward enjoying their great outdoors year-round.

Luxurious + High-Performing Fabrics
Outdoor upholstery technology has grown leaps and bounds in the last few years. Fabrics that feel like linen or cashmere are now just as efficient as the canvas stuff of the past. Your new comfy outdoor couch can handle the sun, pets, and even kids!

Outdoor Tech Gets An Upgrade
No surprise, outdoor home tech has really leveled up over the last few years as demand skyrocketed. You can bring the great indoors outside: large unfolding TVs that pop up from the ground, waterproof screens for movie nights, stylish speakers for surround sound, and more. 

Ultimate Party Hosting
Homeowners are elevating their hospitality game with overhead fans, cabanas, wine fridges, and smart drapers. Amenities like lighting, heaters, mosquito-deterrent, and even irrigation systems are considered a worthy investment.

Cold Plunge Pools Are Hot
For a more private spa lifestyle, cold plunge pools are trending. It may be a fad, but the health benefits (mental health, sports recovery, metabolism, immune system, even skin) are pretty tried-and-true. But it’s no surprise we’re seeing an uptick in pools and hot tubs along the Front Range.

Sustainable Landscaping
Of course, what is outdoor living without gorgeous landscaping? Designing to support the environment and reduce the utility bill is a major priority. So homeowners are making sustainable selections,  planting local and native greenery around their decks and patios. Xeriscaping is one of the hottest services for landscapers along the Front Range.

Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance
While maximizing their outdoor square footage is exciting, homeowners want it to be as easy to manage as possible. Selecting practical, easy-to-clean, low-maintenance upgrades makes the spaces more enjoyable and usable.
