The summer of 2022 will be one to remember. We have assembled a list of eight of the top outdoor living trends that you should consider adding to your yard this summer. 

The Top Eight 2022 Outdoor Living Trends 

Trends tend to be volatile. At Outdoor Experts we hate the idea of needing to update your yard every season. We want fixtures that will look great in your yard for years to come.  

This year’s summer trend list is a bit different than most you will find. Instead of what is hot right now, we have assembled a few tips that will enhance your yard for years to come.  

Below are our top eight outdoor living trends that will look great in 2022 and years beyond.  

Edible Gardens 

Gardening is a great way to spend time outdoors while learning a new skill. A green thumb helps grow your nurturing instincts and adds a splash of lush beauty to your lawn.  

But if you are just growing flowers, then you are not thinking big enough. What could be more satisfying than converting your hard work into something you can eat? From bell peppers to tomatoes to zucchini and more, edible gardens are fun to create and even more fun to chow down on. 

Outdoor Workspace 

The COVID-19 pandemic saw many workers introduce work-from-home into their routine. Want to spice it up a bit more? Create a workspace right in your backyard.  

On nice days you can spend your time working in the bright sunlight rather than being cramped in a dull and uninspiring office. 

Privacy Structures 

Personal space is more important than ever. If you want your yard to be a sanctuary, then you need to invest in privacy structures. Mix landscaping, hardscaping, and even furniture to provide you with extra protection this summer.  

Outdoor Technology 

Seclusion is fine for some, but if you want your yard to be the life of the party then there is no better investment than an infusion of technology. Wi-Fi boosters, outdoor projectors, LED panels, and more can all help add a spark of 21st Century life to your yard. 

Patterned Surfaces 

Most homeowners agree that their floors are one of the most valuable parts of their homes. Patterned surfaces can add the same effect to your yard. Outdoor rugs, patterned concrete, and even outdoor tiles can help add style where there was only grass and dirt before. 

Plenty of Seating  

If you want your yard to be a fun and stylish place to spend time, then you will want ample seating to help your outdoors feel homier. Chairs and benches are the names of the game. Choose your style and run with it, just make sure there are plenty of places to sit.  

Multipurpose Furniture 

Your furniture should not only be used for hosting social events. Make sure your outdoor furniture is comfortable for lounging about on your own time too! Try to find a balance between style and comfort for the best results this summer. 

Don’t forget the Front 

When looking to upgrade their yard, most people focus on the back and neglect the front entirely. Don’t make this mistake! Your front yard is the face of your home. If you want people to feel welcomed, then you must make upgrades to the front. Add stylish furniture, put a fresh coat of paint on your porch, or invite the neighbors over for a front yard movie night. Whatever you choose to do, make sure your front yard is as inviting as the back.  

A Summer to Remember 

No matter what trends you choose to follow this summer, just be sure to make your yard uniquely yours!  

From relaxing by yourself after a long day to hosting social get-togethers and parties, your yard is an extension of your home.
