The coronavirus pandemic has impacted every aspect of our lives, but perhaps none more so than home life. With people spending more time indoors in the past year, trends in 2021 have focused on incorporating outdoor environments as much as possible.
Home decor online marketplace Riverbend Home has released its newest edition of the home trends report and the hottest tendencies are geared toward outdoor living.
“The shift to extending our indoor world to our outdoor spaces accelerated in 2020, and this trend will only get bigger in 2021,” Riverbend Home chief home officer and general manager Mark Feldman said in the report. “Upgrades to outdoor living are at the top of most homeowners’ to-do lists, with patios serving as multi-purpose spaces for safe gatherings, work from home moving outside for some fresh air and fresh thinking, summer vacations giving way to staycations, and gardening becoming a natural extension to our newly minted pandemic cooking skills.”
Here are five of the outdoor home trends Riverbend Home has rounded up for spring 2021.
