2024 Outdoor Trends

An Inside Peek at Outdoor Trends for 2024

Committing to Outdoor Vibrancy

Bringing life outside of the home commands more than just people to populate the space. It requires a space to lounge in the warm sun, a place to cook a meal in the fresh air, and a way to express the creativity that the yard makes possible.

With a blank canvas, all outdoor living design is possible and can add to the value of the home. Approximately 92 percent of realtors have suggested that sellers improve their curb appeal before listing their home, according to the National Association of Realtors’ 2023 Remodeling Impact Report: Outdoor Features.

For homeowners, the drive to increase value and exterior appeal is exceeded by the ability to establish  a similar level of indoor comfort in an outdoor environment. The desire to create a gourmet meal in an outdoor kitchen or walk along the pavers that lead visitors from the fenced gate to the patio is one of creating the idyllic version of home.

Blending the Outdoors Inward

With brick pavers creating the path toward the home, there comes a patio design that continues the trend of creating a seamlessness between the indoors and outdoors.

In 2024, this concept is elevated through the use of colors, patterns, materials, and products like large pavers, that help foster the same creativity as one would see within the home. Areas like the patio, outdoor kitchen, or three-seasons room pull from the same stylistic strings drawn from when considering design in a bathroom or indoor kitchen.

Homeowners are seeing the blank canvas of the outdoors and bringing the bold and vibrant hues that they typically would use inside and breaking conventionality by sharing them with the outside world.

This level of exterior design is intentional and helps drive personality and passion into an outdoor living environment.

Enhancing the Outdoor Kitchen

The popularity of outdoor kitchens continues to rise, and 2024 is no exception. The potential of building an outdoor kitchen island with cabinets enables the perfect fusion of cooking and cozy in the summertime sunshine.

As an ever-expanding entertainment space, hanging by the outdoor kitchen counter is a perfect spot for friends to catch up, and they can be designed with a variety of accessories that enhance the experience. This includes pizza ovens, built-in refrigerators, sinks, trade drawers, ice makers, and side burners.

With all of these accessories being possible in the outdoor kitchen plans, 2024 has seen a movement toward additional seating with outdoor dining rooms and living rooms, making a fun evening with family and friends all the more possible.

Dining Under the Sun and Moon

After making all of these gourmet meals in the comforts of the outdoor kitchen area, taking the food inside is not an option.

Enjoy this precious moment in an outdoor dining space on the patio. Create the perfect party atmosphere, or enjoy an intimate dinner with friends, while still embracing the ambiance of a clear evening.

Wood and metal-styled furniture, sitting on stylish tile or stone underneath,  can create a faux-rustic feeling that blends the color pallet of the outdoor kitchen with the dining area.

Outdoor Cabinets That Pop

While timeless wood cabinets are hot right now in the indoor kitchen, their allure is stopping at the door. Colors are splashing across the doors of outdoor kitchen cabinets, and homeowners are designing the space around those vibrant tones.

Homeowners do not have to sacrifice fashion for functionality with outdoor cabinetry. With a variety of styles and aesthetics to choose from, they are not being pigeon holden by simply choosing one or two cabinet paint colors.

Adding that element of individuality to the exterior design of the outdoor kitchen promotes a passion and commitment to enjoying the great outdoors.

Bold Backsplashes and Countertops

Complementing the colorful nature of the outdoor cabinets, countertops, and backsplashes are shining in 2024, adding a vivaciousness to the exterior design.

With a variety of materials, colors, and finishes that can withstand the harsh elements, backsplash tiles and countertop options are virtually endless. No longer are tiles solely defined by a solid color.

Patterns and textures are allowing these tiles the opportunity to pop, complementing the colorful cabinets and countertops.

Stone brick pavers on a patio

Follow the Brick Pavers

Durability is the name of the game in 2024, as many are utilizing pavers for walkways in an effort to instill a timeless touch to their outdoor design. Brick patio pavers are stain-resistant and strong against the rough elements, and with applied sealants, fading can be prevented.

If the brick pavers are laid with thin gaps between one another, water has the ability to drain through to the sub-base, preventing any type of flooding.

Paver ideas are endless, providing a canvas to what the home patio can look like. Whether the design calls for brick pavers in muted hues or bright red, they are a staple in outdoor living fashion in 2024.

Stone pavers with texture and color

Hues and Patterns in Pavers

Outdoor design often includes a lot of stereotypical earthy tones that play it safe and do not draw the eye. In 2024, those are hitting the curb, as unique and colorful options are all the rage in pavers.

The drive to infuse creativity into walkways and patios alike have inspired countless patio paver ideas that highlight the versatility and potential of such a durable product.

For example, the striking use of chevron patterns with multi-colored pavers can create an unparalleled visual within an outdoor living environment. Pavers offer a nearly limitless amount of stylish concepts for the backyard and patio.

Unique and Durable Materials

Similar to the trend with mixing cabinet hardware metals, outdoor products made of unique metals and other materials are standing tall in 2024.

With exposure to the weather and fluctuating temperatures, outdoor cabinets, cabinet hardware, kitchen staples, pavers, dining area, and more have to be able to withstand the wear and tear of their circumstances.

Whether these elements are in a small outdoor kitchen or aligning a pool with a vibrant pattern, all of them associated with the design and function of the space need to be durable, so they can be enjoyed for countless years to come.
