Outdoor Living
The outdoor living boom has moved from being 'just a trend' to a lifestyle. Many people are transforming their backyards into "specialty" rooms with kitchens, bars, and entertainment centers. An interesting twist on garden design; many homeowners are developing garden areas to reflect their favorite vacation destination!  The demand for earth-friendly products is expected to quadruple in the next few years. Some are referring to this as the ‘eco-chic' movement.

A recent Better Homes and Gardens survey confirms this trend. The survey says that building a major garden or landscaping project is the second most popular home improvement choice. Flowers, shrubs and trees are being used as accents, room dividers, carpets and curtains. Homeowner's can find outdoor end tables, all-weather floor lamps, weatherproof artwork and even affordable entertainment sets. Along with big and bold flowers and plants; Island colors are still strong for garden palettes.

 
 
 
 

The fashionable gardens will present sleek, contemporary looks, with bold lines, well-defined angles and an emphasis on colorful, exotic foliage, and flowers. Super-sized plants, including extra-large tropical plants such as Elephant Ears and gigantic containers spilling over with exotic jewel-toned blooms are in. Native, sustainable plants remain popular, too. Integrating ornamental and edible plants will also be huge this season. People don't want to just work in their gardens, they want their gardens to work for them!
