5 Outdoor Living Trends For 2021

WINCHESTER, Va., Jan. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Now, more than ever, outdoor living is in! While homeowners have increasingly invested time and money into their yards in recent years, 2020 saw interest in outdoor living spike to unprecedented levels as homeowners everywhere adjusted to a new normal by reimagining how to use and enjoy their exterior spaces. As a result, the outdoor living design trends for 2021 have never been more inventive.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has prioritized how we view and use our homes,” said Leslie Adkins, vice president of marketing for Trex Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing and a leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products. “With people spending more time at home, outdoor space has never been more important. It’s where we start our days with a morning cup of coffee, where we enjoy some much-needed fresh air over an al fresco lunch break, where we relish a change of scenery after a day of screen fatigue, and where we can visit safely with friends and family.”Each year, Trex captures input from consumers, contractors, retailers and industry insiders to compile its annual Outdoor Living Forecast. For 2021, the brand teamed with celebrity designer Alison Victoria, star of HGTV’s “Windy City Rehab,” “Rock the Block” and “Ty Breakers,” to identify five trends expected to shape the outdoor living landscape in 2021.1. Outdoor Offices“When it comes to backyard design, pergolas remain on-trend due to their limitless design possibilities,” notes Victoria. “They are great for adding definition – and drama – to any deck.”2. Expanded Elbow Room3. Take the Plunge“Trex is my go-to material for outdoor projects,” says Victoria. “It delivers the beauty of wood without the environmental impact, the labor-intensive upkeep or the natural deterioration over time. I also love that it’s made from 95% recycled materials and only needs an occasional cleaning with soap and water to maintain its beautiful appearance for decades.”4. Luxury Staycation“Homeowners are finding inspiration in commercial settings like upscale hotels and restaurants,” Victoria comments. “Outdoors, this trend is seen in modern railing styles, such as Trex Signature® Railing. The durable, low-maintenance aluminum railing collection delivers sleek sophistication in a range of designs, including horizontal rods, mesh panels and glass inserts.”5. Give It a Try with DIY“If you can use a hammer and a saw, you can upgrade your backyard with composite decking,” states Victoria. “Building or resurfacing a deck with Trex is a doable DIY project that can be completed over the course of a weekend or two with just a little know-how and the help of a few friends.”For more outdoor living ideas and inspiration, go to Trex.com.SourcesHouzz: 36 Home Design Trends Ready for Takeoff in 2021Reuters: Pool sales skyrocket as consumers splash out on coronavirus cocoonsCNBC: Urban flight means home improvement and DIY trends are more than a pandemic bounce.
