2015 Outdoor Living Trends & Color of the Year

Happy New Year! One of the joys of the New Year is dreaming about what we want to accomplish in the year ahead. Many of our clients are considering enhancements to their deck, patio or outdoor living space. If you’re seeking ideas, here are some of the 2015 trends in outdoor living:

2015 Color of the Year - Marsala


1. Earth Tones Are Cool– The 2015 Color of the Year is Marsala, which pairs beautifully with other natural and earthen colors and brings warmth to a room. Pantone notes that Marsala enriches the mind, body and soul, and what better place to incorporate natural colors than the great outdoors. The best part is that Sunbrella weather resistant fabrics are available in colors that incorporate and complement the Marsala hue.

2. Just Add Water – Each year, we see this trend emerge in a new form. Water features are more popular than ever. The soothing sound of water from fountains, waterfalls and bubbling brooks, creates a wonderfully serene outdoor space and reduces background noise.

3. Outdoor Furniture That Looks Like Indoor Furniture –Upholstered outdoor furniture is one of the fast growing trends in outdoor patio furniture. Furniture brands including Lane Venture and Lloyd Flanders have introduced collections that blend outdoor living with indoor designs. By using fade resistant, weather resistant fabrics that are durable and washable, outdoor rooms are as comfortable and stylish as your living room.

4. Outdoor Kitchens Cook- Outdoor kitchens continue as a popular trend throughout the nation. These cooking areas feature all the accessories and niceties of indoor kitchens so you never have to go inside. Refrigerators, grills, smokers, stoves, warming drawers, beer taps, and of course, the kitchen sink ensure outdoor enthusiasts have everything they need to prepare the meal and more. Add a cozy fireplace or fire pit, as well as premium outdoor furniture and create an entire outdoor room.

5. Planting for Privacy – The outside world is hectic so creating a serene and private outdoor space is a growing trend. More and more families are using a living boarder to create privacy and buffer noise. Start with a simple collection of container plants on the deck and build to a solid hedge around the perimeter of your yard.

6. Lighting – Customized outdoor lighting can highlight your garden, pool, walkways, outdoor basketball court, entry way and more. The right lighting not only keeps you safe from tripping on your garden path, it adds a warm, welcoming ambiance and a touch of class.
