Next Year’s Stylish Backyard Essentials Every Trendsetter Needs

Your backyard is anything but just a backyard. It’s an escape from the world, a space that allows you the freedom to combine style with ease. As a host throwing the soiree of the summer or taking some time for yourself, essential stylish backyard retreat items have evolved to keep up with the needs of today.

Hot Tubs: The Ultimate Relaxation Station

What’s a stylish retreat without a hot tub? Once a rendition is reserved for spas exclusively, hot tubs are no longer reserved for spas. Lovers of relaxation and wellness get-togethers and rendezvous can’t find a better product for entertaining than a hot tub. Talk with friends over drinks and stories or host a fun date night with the tone set just right. There are so many sleek, modern designs to bring into your backyard space. Best yet, hot tubs are now energy efficient and won’t put too much of a dent in your wallet.

Fire Pits: Warmth and Ambiance in Every Season

Stylish and efficient, a fire pit adds flair to your backyard. During those cool summer nights, sit down with the family with a few marshmallows s’mores by the fire.  Make the evening even more interesting with drinks and a few tales. Choose from so many styles available in the market—sharp lines, or go for a more rustic finish.

Outdoor Lighting: The Magic Touch

The right lighting can change everything. Your backyard does not have to look and feel ordinary any longer once you have strung lanterns, string lights, and LED path lights to create a brand-new oasis. Let your backyard charisma shine with string lights draped across the pergola or go for a more modern, sleek look with outdoor, geometric lanterns. Quite the trendsetter? Choose solar lighting. You can make a difference in your environmental footprint without ever having to lift a finger.

Multifunctional Furniture: Beauty Meets Utility

Backyard furniture is a trend in which more than one purpose can be achieved. Stylish and functional furniture only adds to your backyard. Comfortable, stylish outdoor sectionals are something a style maven like you just can’t pass up. Whether it’s a summer barbecue or reading a book with the most perfect seat, you want those sectionals made of long-lasting, weatherproof material. This includes teak, rattan wicker, and powder-coated metal. Weatherproof is your friend.

Lush Greenery and Vertical Gardens

The quickest fix for your backyard? Foliage. More foliage. And if space is limited, you can still benefit from all of that backyard appeal—install a wall-mounted vertical garden or a framed garden you can hang on the deck, patio, or fence. Plant care? Stick with something simple, like an herb garden. Throw in a couple of flowering vines or sweet-smelling jasmine. By placing plants in your backyard, you are literally replacing the ugly (concrete and worn-down deck) with the beautiful. And others will steal your space because it’s so plush.

Outdoor Kitchens: Take Dining Al Fresco

The most current backyard outdoor kitchen—is over the top. Countless grills (built-in), smoker machines, pizza ovens, stovetops, outdoor countertop areas, outdoor sinks, mini-fridges (wine fridges are fine, too), and custom outdoor kitchens that vary in price. Put comfortable bar stools anywhere. If you have a picnic table, even better. The more chic your additions the better.

Your backyard already is your VIP retreat. If singing with the entire neighborhood, entertaining friends, or unwinding from a long, hard day is on the agenda, add these backyard staples and soak up every moment.
