7 Outdoor Living Trends For 2021

Posted on July 2, 2021

For those of you passionate about interior and exterior design, the newest outdoor living trends will exceed your expectations. Not only are they exciting, but they’re also really trendy and interesting, especially if you’ve got a passion for design (like me). Most trends in 2021 focus on nature as you can see in this next guide.

Your outdoor and indoor styles match

You could match your outdoor with your indoor to be in style this year. Not only will it look cool, but it’ll also feel quite luxurious. Some of the other tips include installing an ultimate multi-slide door or creating a lounge on your patio, as Chris from mimy blog states. Along with your outdoor furniture, you could have a nice fireplace and enjoy a tasty wine while poking the ashes in the fire. Try to keep the colors somewhere in the brown-grey palette, somewhat classy. Going for extra bright might only work in Florida or any other tropical places.

Your deck is more than satisfying – and quite vintage

The outdoor deck space is another trend popping up in 2021. While this can come with lots of maintenance indeed, it’s worth a shot. You can always get someone to help with your deck cleaning. Having friends over for a nice barbeque on the deck feels special. Try to give your deck a new look – you could choose colors such as yellow or orange to brighten it up, now that summer is knocking on our doors.

Your outdoor space is relaxing

Make your outdoor space as comfy as possible! This pandemic has been devastating and tiring, so having a nice outdoor living space can be really handy. You could add a jacuzzi and a nice bar here. Plus, you could plant trees all around this area and place speakers around your backyard. Playing some classical music on a Friday night while enjoying a nice hot tub bath doesn’t sound bad now, does it?

Your outdoor kitchen is brand-new

This is something I’ve noticed very recently. Again, with so many restrictions and regulations this past year, people felt the need to spend more outside, even when cooking. You could customize your outdoor kitchen space however you want as long as you keep it safely designed. I would personally go for brown or green for the outside kitchen, but it really depends on your taste. Don’t forget to design a grilling area, a wet bar, and a nice fireplace to go along with it. Using wood as a natural element sticks out and will complement your outdoor surroundings.

Your outdoor becomes an indoor space

For those of you who don’t like to spend that much time outside, here’s another option. You could redesign your outdoor by closing it in. You don’t have to keep it closed the whole year; you could open it during the summer. The bottom line is, enclosed outdoor spaces are cozy and very attractive. Plus, they don’t get too hot or too cold either, making it the best place to hang out.

Your front yard shows color

Spending even more time outside working on your garden is a delight. Start with your front yard and make it a place for socialization. You could utilize this space to read a book or simply enjoy a nice conversation with your loved ones. Yes, drive-by parties are also a thing, so why not give it a shot? Your social front yard could become a party hub this year.

Your garden is one of a kind

The last trend I’ll discuss today is edible gardens! They are the perfect spot to chill and be surrounded by incredible nature. You could plant anything from herbs to veggies or homegrown fruits here. This will add color to your garden and make it stand out. Add some nice chairs, a small table, and maybe a hammock, and enjoy some time outside.

Your outdoor living style doesn’t have to be pretentious – it should define you. Some of the plants you could grow are tomatoes or green onions, not to mention brightly colored flowers or roses. You could also design your own Japanese garden if you like that style.

Wrapping Up

Since this pandemic held us indoors, many people have chosen to redecorate their outdoors this year. I hope checking out the latest 2021 trends in outdoor design helped you map out a plan for your own home. Good luck!
