As we transition into the warmer months of 2024, Lucy Small, the creative mind behind State and Season Home Design and Supply, brings you the latest porch and patio trends set to redefine outdoor living spaces. Say goodbye to the typical screened-in porch and welcome a wave of commercial aesthetics, blending entertainment, and comfort. Here are the top trends Lucy predicts will dominate this spring:
- Commercial Chic: Move over traditional designs; commercial aesthetics are taking the lead. Think big TVs, entertainment areas, pergolas, and bistro lights for a stylish and modern outdoor space.
- Expanded Outdoor Kitchens: Outdoor kitchens are evolving with more features, such as built-in fireplaces and pizza ovens. Enhance your culinary experience and entertain guests with these luxurious additions.
- Entertainment Zones: Larger sectionals and seating areas are making a comeback, turning your outdoor space into the ultimate entertainment zone. Embrace the comfort of your living room in the midst of nature.
Lucy Small’s Small Patio Ideas:
- Maximizing Small Spaces: Lucy believes that space is not a limitation but an opportunity. Define your small patio with elements like firepits, dining tables, or game areas to create a unique and enjoyable experience.
- Essential Pieces for Every Patio: Tailor your patio furniture to your specific needs. Whether it’s pool chairs for a poolside retreat, a dining table for al fresco meals, or a firepit for cozy evenings, choose pieces that suit your lifestyle.
- Designing for Small Patios: Consider your lifestyle and maintenance preferences when designing your small patio. Focus on the primary use of the space to avoid overcrowding and ensure a functional and aesthetically pleasing outdoor area.
Lucy Small’s expertise extends beyond just design tips. Nestled in the charming Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, Lucy has established State and Season Home Design and Supply.
