When homeowners get to work on their backyard living spaces in 2023, they’ll be thinking more in terms of functionality and beauty than symbolism and flair. Doodlebuggers Fireplace, Grill & Outdoor Store of Pensacola, FL, and Destin, FL, would like to share some trendy ideas for your outdoor living areas that will thrill you throughout 2023 and beyond.
Make it more sustainableSustainability is a strong trend this year, and when it comes to backyards, that means drought-resistant landscaping like ornamental grasses, sedums, succulents and other foliage that doesn’t have to be watered heavily by an irrigation system.
Consider foregoing the “standard” manufactured furniture and going instead with upcycled chairs, stools and tables. (More on outdoor seating below.) For your deck, use minimally treated wood for a natural, realistic look.
Well-designed outdoor living areas are big on natural growth, but they can be enhanced by adding some eye-catching sculptures and statuettes. Simulations of cute animals, fountains, mini-waterfalls and the like can be placed throughout your landscape to crank up the visual appeal.
Take a look at the colors of the plants and trees in your backyard. Consider using those naturally occurring colors or contrasting colors in all the items you add. One walk outside, and you’ll feel like you’re in a well-thought-out landscape that encourages serenity and stability.
With outdoor designs, having less can feel like having more. Tasteful additions are great, but consider allowing nature to take center stage. You can design sections in your yard that promote space and simplicity rather than clutter and complexity. A few simple design touches often stand out more than a whole yard full of them.
One of the biggest outdoor living space trends for 2023 is the outdoor kitchen and entertaining area. Historically, people have had a nice grill and a few chairs in their backyard. But why stop there? Modern outdoor kitchens can contain all the features you need to give your inner chef room to shine and amaze. Consider some of the options:
Whatever you dream about for your outdoor kitchen can become a reality in 2023.
As to entertaining, you have plenty of choices for lovely and highly functional seating. What would look best in your gathering spaces?
As you consider seating arrangements, imagine how stunning a vibrant fire pit would look in the middle of it all. Fire pits grow in popularity every year because of their beauty and functionality, especially on chilly evenings.
