Outdoor living time is just around the corner. Outdoor furniture maker Summer Classics offers these five trends for outdoor living this year.
Comfortable Furniture
Living-room worthy outdoor furnishings is one of the trends. Many of our custom home clients outfit their outdoor living spaces just like any other room in their home.
Outdoor Fireplaces
Another trend is outdoor fireplaces, hearths or fire-pits. These romantic amenities create wonderful gathering spaces for friends and family–especially on chilly nights in spring or fall. Our clients have added all types of outdoor fire features to their luxury homes.
Making a Splash with Outdoor Living
Colorful fabrics, contemporary ceiling fans and beautiful flooring are the other three trends Summer Classics calls out for this coming outdoor season. At Hensley Custom Building Group, we often see another trend: Pools. Swimming at home and soaking in a hot tub are perks that custom home buyers often want. Here are just a few examples of pool areas outside our clients’ homes.
The perfect outdoor living space is different for each one of our buyers. Some people prefer flagstone patios, others like stamped concrete. A sport court could be a priority for families that enjoy playing outside. Outdoor kitchens are also at the top of many of our clients’ “must have” lists. We’d love to hear your ideas for great spaces outside–and inside–a new custom home.
Wow, among these custom home ideas, the outdoor fireplaces seem to speak to me. Even though it looks pleasant and classy, I never considered wanting a fireplace in my home because of how messy cleaning up ashes might be. But if it’s outdoors, I might consider having one in my house after all!
