(BPT) – According to leading real estate website Zillow<\/a>, a functional outdoor space is the most sought-after amenity among today’s homebuyers. For homeowners looking to make the most of their outdoor spaces this year, following are six trends expected to shape backyards in 2023:<\/p>\n

1. Light Neutrals<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Light, neutral hues are permeating home design inside and out due to their ability to create a sense of calm and serenity. Providing the perfect foundation for an on-trend outdoor space is Trex Transcend®<\/sup> Lineage™<\/sup><\/a>. This low-maintenance composite decking delivers an elevated aesthetic with heat-mitigating technology to reflect the sun and keep boards cooler underfoot.<\/p>\n

2. Mixed Materials<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Gone are the days of matchy-matchy monotony. Today’s homeowners are embracing eclectic design schemes with lots of visual interest created by juxtaposing materials like concrete and composite<\/a>, wicker and aluminum<\/a>, copper and stone — as well as mixing colors and patterns for added personality and visual intrigue.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/u>3. Sustainable Selections<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Sustainability is no longer a “nice to have” but a meaningful requirement among increasingly eco-conscious consumers. Made from 95% recycled materials<\/a>, Trex®<\/sup> composite decking<\/a> is an eco-friendly choice that outperforms and outlasts natural wood.<\/p>\n

4. Stylish Seclusion<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

More than a quarter of all Zillow<\/a> listings highlight privacy as a selling point. This penchant for stylish seclusion is driving demand for fencing<\/a>, pergolas<\/a>, privacy panels<\/a> and lattice<\/a>, which create a sense of sanctuary with products that are visually appealing, durable and easy to maintain.<\/p>\n

5. Mood Lighting<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Rising inflation will have homeowners looking for small investments that make a big impact. From candles and string lights to fire features<\/a> and deck lighting<\/a>, a little illumination can completely change the look and feel of an outdoor space without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n

6. Added Function and Value<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Make the most of your outdoor space by optimizing the area beneath the deck. With an under-deck drainage system, this space can be used for storage or as a bonus living area. RainEscape®<\/sup><\/a> is an innovative system that accommodates electrical and gas lines to power ceiling fans, lighting<\/a>, appliances and entertainment components, allowing homeowners to achieve the finished look and function of an interior room.<\/p>\n
