4 Hot Trends for Outdoor Spaces<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regardless of its size, a home’s outdoor space should be a showpiece in a listing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year it\u2019s really about making your outdoor space function like an interior space for all things fun, lounging, and entertaining,\u201d Gretchen Kennelly, a San Diego interior designer, told realtor.com\u00ae.<\/p>\n

Designers offered up some of their trend insights to realtor.com\u00ae for homeowners or sellers trying to maximize\u00a0a home\u2019s outdoor potential, including:<\/p>\n

Alternative flooring options<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outdoor rugs have been common in recent years, but more flooring options are emerging, such as porcelain. Porcelain is known as being durable and simple to install, which is adding to its popularity. \u201cPorcelain pavers can create this beautiful transition without creating a huge divide between the two living spaces,\u201d says Joe Raboine, national design and training specialist with Belgard. Ikea\u2019s beechwood deck tiles are another way to enhance a patio or balcony\u2019s flooring without spending a fortune, says designer Christina Harmon.<\/p>\n

Vertical gardens<\/strong><\/p>\n

A garden can fit in any space outside; just go up instead of out. Vertical gardens maximize the available space by growing herbs and veggies upwards. Arbors, arches, pergolas, and gazebos can help enhance a vertical garden. \u201cThey\u2019ll create the ambience of an outdoor garden \u2018room\u2019 and give a sense of height and depth to an otherwise small space,\u201d Raboine says.

Attention-getting lighting<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis year is the time to brighten up the exterior of your home in unexpected ways,\u201d Michael Amato, creative director at the Urban Electric Co., told realtor.com\u00ae. \u201cIf you have an all-white painted brick or stucco home, adding lighting in a fun color like blue with gold hardware creates interest. If your house is already painted a fun color, lighting presents a great opportunity to work in a contrasting color for a striking statement.\u201d Hanging stringed Edison-styled bulbs along an outdoor space can create a festive flair to a backyard too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Blues and greens<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deep blues and greens are on trend this season in outdoor spaces. Fabric cushions and umbrellas are showcasing the color. \u201cThis year, it\u2019s all about outdoor spaces that feel luxurious rather than cheesy,\u201d Harmon says. \u201cThink lots of neutrals coupled with gorgeous jewel-toned greens and furniture and accessories that create a truly indoor-outdoor vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n
