After we all spent a lot of time last year in our yards, don't expect that trend to slow down. Whether you're cooking, exercising, or just hanging out, plan to spend more time outside this year as backyards, decks, and patios evolve into comfortable, well-equipped extensions of the home. Those trends include:
Outdoor kitchens
Edible gardens
Multipurpose furniture
Structures that provide privacy and protection
Social front yards
Outdoor technology
Products that extend outdoor living season like fire pits and heat lamps to misting systems and fans.
