The popularity of outdoor living is constantly growing, and since 2020, a great deal of homeowners have taken a conscious look at how they use their spaces. The importance of functionality in the home, and the impact your environment can have on you, has become crystal clear to many families. While adjusting to the new “normal”, we saw a rise in homeowners creating fun, innovative trends for their outdoor spaces. 2 years later, we are still seeing outdoor living becoming an integral part of homes – as a result, we predict that these trends won’t be slowing down at all next year. With 2022 en route, we have compiled a list of the top 3 outdoor living trends coming your way in 2022.
Try Something New By Moving Your Office Outside
The phrase “work from home” has been adopted into the vocabulary of many. This year, we may need to add the phrase “work from nature” to our vocabulary as well. One of our top predictions for outdoor living trends in 2022, is the rise in popularity of working from your backyard. This new year, we encourage you to view your space as an endless opportunity for bringing enjoyment to otherwise mundane tasks.
As humans, it’s important we get at least 30 minutes of fresh air everyday. When working outside, you’re able to combine the benefits of nature with being productive – it’s a win win! If you’re thinking of working from nature this year, remember to invest in protection from the elements. A pergola is the perfect example of an architecturally beautiful element that can provide you with the protection you may need to last outside. Outdoor design companies such as Gas Guys provide high quality options that are equally as stylish as they are functional.
Take Yourself On A Five Star Staycation
With a decline in all travel over the past 2 years, many would say that “staycations” have become the new vacation. Homeowners have found it surprisingly easy to replicate the high class hotel experience in their own homes. Hotels have many inspiration points for design – from relaxing bathroom set ups and plumped pillows, to outdoor design masterpieces with accents like tiki torches and fire tables, the possibilities are endless. Look-up your favourite hotel, and notice the features that stand out to you – is there anything that makes you feel inspired? Adding in some of the amazing elements you would see at your favourite hotel is surprisingly easy! Our suggestion is finding a company who’s excited to make the idea work in your space, and help your dream renovation come true. At Gas Guys we offer consultations no matter your budget or yard size, and we believe in turning our customers’ vision into a reality.
Spend Time Being Creative With A DIY Project
In the last couple years, do it yourself projects have seen a huge rise in popularity and are encouraging adults to roll up their sleeves and take on ambitious tasks. Many homeowners are starting on plans that have been in the works for years, but haven’t had time to be executed until now. We foresee that doing it yourself will become more of a life motto than a trend this year. Platforms such as Youtube and TikTok are huge helpers in spreading ideas across the internet for homeowners almost anywhere in the world to take inspiration from. Doing it yourself is a favourite method of many as it can be a cheaper option, take less time and depending on the project, materials can be easily sourced. These are a few of our favourite DIY’s that we think would be perfect to take on in 2022:
- An edible garden with your favourite herbs and plants!
- A crochet hammock in your favourite colour!
- A garden bench!
In Closing…
Many of us live busy, fast paced lives, but it’s important to not forget the little things that bring us joy too. Taking time to evaluate your space can do wonders for relaxation and lowering stress, especially if it’s a project you’ve already been thinking of taking on. We hope this article inspires you to take action in your home and start your 2022 with a bang. Improve your outdoor living space and make it one of your new year resolutions by giving it some extra love!
