Top Trends For 2020
(BPT) – The appeal of all things al fresco has never been higher with homeowners across the country investing more time and money than ever before into their outdoor spaces. Based on insights from decking contractors, retailers, and home design experts, industry leader Trex Company has compiled its annual outdoor living forecast, predicting the top design trends for 2020 and beyond.
“It’s always fascinating to compare the trends reported by our customers with those projected by the industry at large,” said Leslie Adkins, vice president of marketing for Trex. “This year, we also engaged celebrity designer Alison Victoria to take our forecast to a whole new level.” Schedule your home inspectors Fayetteville AR today!
According to the latest report, the following five top trends will influence outdoor living in the new decade:
1. Mixed Materials
2020 is the year to mix it up. Add visual interest to an outdoor space by juxtaposing materials such as concrete and composite, wicker and aluminum, copper, and stone. Integrate nature-inspired materials that maintain cohesion with the natural surroundings and infuse color and pattern with pillows, cushions, furnishings, and decorative accents.
2. Sizzling Kitchens
As the foodie phenomenon continues to thrive, outdoor kitchens will continue to evolve. Picture fully appointed culinary centers complete with specialty appliances such as smokers, pizza ovens, and integrated refrigerated storage — all housed in stylish all-weather cabinetry. Capturing this trend is the new collection, featuring stainless steel cabinetry solutions in color and style options that allow homeowners to create functional spaces that rival interior spaces.
“A good kitchen is essential — whether indoors or out,” emphasized Victoria, host of HGTV’s “Windy City Rehab” and DIY’s “Kitchen Crashers.” “A well-designed and well-appointed kitchen becomes the heart of any space. It’s where people gather. It’s where memories are made. So, make it memorable!”
3. Industrial Inspiration
There is a growing shift toward sleek, contemporary designs and materials for interior and exterior spaces as homeowners are increasingly finding inspiration in commercial settings like hotels and restaurants. Outdoors, this trend is manifesting in more industrial aluminum railing styles with sleek profiles and contemporary rod, mesh, or glass inserts designed to optimize sightlines and deliver a modern flair.
4. Fire And Water
“Fire and water are all the rage right now for outdoor spaces,” Victoria noted. “These elements not only take a space to the next level; they connect it to the natural surroundings. Even in an urban setting, these elements add a sense of tranquility that can make you feel like you’re a million miles away.”
Fire pots, such as those in the new collection, can be positioned almost anywhere to create a cozy gathering spot — or combined in a series to provide an ambient boundary for larger outdoor areas. For even greater visual impact, a fire table can serve as a focal point and elevate the luxury and comfort of outdoor space. Likewise, the soothing sound of trickling water from integrated spillways, bowls, or other features can instantly conjure calm and set a relaxed tone and atmosphere.
5.Bonus Space
If you have a raised deck, there is undoubtedly some open space underneath. While, historically, this space has been used for storage, the design trend for 2020 is to turn it into a bonus living space by installing a deck drainage system. Designed to divert water away from a deck, systems like create a dry space that can be outfitted with everything from furniture and accessories to lighting fixtures, ceiling fans, and entertainment components.
