Warm weather finally here, and this means it\u2019s time to make sure your outdoor space is up to snuff. If you need some inspiration for your deck, backyard, or patio, here is a list of outdoor living trends for 2021, including installing new window shades on your Raleigh, NC<\/a> home.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Outdoor Kitchens<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019ve got the space and the budget, an outdoor kitchen is a must-have for your home. Adding a grill, fridge, prep sink, stove, countertop, and even fun extras like a wood-fired pizza oven can make your outdoor space the blocks biggest party spot.<\/li>\n
  2. Transitional Window Treatments<\/strong> \u2013 Make your indoor and outdoor spaces even more synchronized by installing simple, functional window treatments<\/a> like window shutters. Shades make it easy for you to let natural light and fresh air into your home, mirroring your trendy outdoor space.<\/li>\n
  3. Transitional Patio Doors<\/strong> \u2013 Patio doors are in right now, especially large ones that open wide. The right patio door will not only give you great views of the outdoors, but it will also help you create a seamless, simple transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces.<\/li>\n
  4. Fire Features<\/strong> \u2013 Sure, fire pits are fun, but trendy fire features are even better. Unlike traditional fire pits, these trending pieces are heated with gas so you can turn your fire on or off with the touch of a button. Can\u2019t afford a fire feature? You can\u2019t go wrong with some well-placed tiki torches or even some bistro lights for ambiance.<\/li>\n
  5. Pergolas<\/strong> \u2013 Pergolas are the answer to your yard\u2019s shade, privacy and style needs \u2013 and they are super in style right now. In fact, some might even call 2021 the year of the pergola! What\u2019s more, pergolas are incredibly easy to install so you can start enjoying benefits right away.\"window<\/li>\n
  6. Edible Gardens<\/strong> \u2013 Edible gardens are full of plants that are not only beautiful, but also edible, like if a vegetable patch and a flower garden had a baby. Great for adding greenery and color to your yard and tasty, fresh vegetable and herbs to your kitchen, it makes sense why edible gardens are so popular. Just be wary of treating anything with harmful pesticides or herbicides.<\/li>\n
  7. Outdoor Technology<\/strong> \u2013 There are all kinds of cool gadgets you can get for your space that will take your outdoor living to a whole new level. Look into smart lights, speakers, video projectors and outdoor TVs so you can move all the movie nights, family games, and any other event outside. You can even bring your Wi-Fi outside with an extender.<\/li>\n
  8. Comfortable Furniture<\/strong> \u2013 One of the simplest upgrades you can make for your deck, patio, or yard is adding comfortable furniture. Luckily, outdoor, weather-proof furniture is trending hard right now, making it easy for you to find pieces that match your style and space.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
