(ARA) -Here are some of the top designer trends today’s homeowners are clamoring to implement:
* Bolder, Vivid Color
After years of blending earth tones with the outdoors, designers are incorporating color into the exterior. Colored glass is being used as an alternative mulch, and colored concrete is being applied in benches, pavers, fencing and related products. Bigger, bolder flowers are making a statement in today’s back yard.
* Pretty Potted Plants
Homeowners are looking for new ways to showcase their flowers and plants, and as a result, potted plants have a newfound popularity. Flowerpots are being offered in a variety of shapes and sizes, from small, subtle circular pots to large, art-inspired pieces. Lighted urns are turning heads as an innovative way to showcase flowers and add light to the exterior.
* Environmentally Friendly Accents
Green living is more than a trend – it’s a way of life. As they spend more
time outdoors, homeowners are applying environmentally friendly practices here too.
“Many homeowners find themselves outdoors at night, as they settle in after work and entertain through the evening,” says Jeff Dross. “Since they’re outside past dusk, they’re leaving their landscape lighting on for extended periods. To help with energy savings, new LED accent lights, deck lights and step lights all offer long life and energy savings.”
* Butterfly Inspirations
America’s love of butterflies has grown to new heights with butterfly-themed products across a variety of fashion and decor lines.
* Trendy Teak
Teak has found widespread popularity in outdoor furniture applications, as the wood is known for its durability and natural oils. Suitable for outdoor use, teak continues to emerge in complementary products, and accessories to the yard.
* Complementary Pieces
Homeowners combine complementary accessories outdoors as well. Patterns from outdoor furniture cushions are being carried over to complementary outdoor table placements, candles and other accents.
These latest trends and influences are bringing homeowners more enjoyment in the outdoors, adding timeless appeal and may very well make their yard the talk of the town. Courtesy of ARA content
