5 Fresh Ideas for Remodeling Your Outdoor Living Space and Patio (June 2022)
Home design trends change over time but one thing that remains on trend for 2022 is showstopping outdoor living. Gorgeous patios with impeccable hardscaping, exotic outdoor lanais, romantic benches, and dreamy outdoor fireplaces are still in for the season.
Is it time to spruce up your backyard and back porch area?
Read on for 5 fresh ideas to plan and design your outdoor remodel.
A Superb Outdoor Fireplace
Outdoor fireplaces and firepits are a must-have for an on-trend home in 2022. Fire features provide warmth and promote togetherness and foster a unique conversation experience. They’re also perfect for enjoying solo while reading a book or enjoying a beverage.
Boost the quality of your outdoor living space by adding a trendy linear fireplace to your outdoor design plans. You can also go classic or modern by adding a custom fire pit. A fire pit table is a great option here too.
Oversized Covered Porches and Retractable Televisions
For 2022, the back porch trend is oversized, entirely covered porches with open-air on three sides. The bigger the porch, the more ways you have to enjoy your outdoor space, from beverage stations and outdoor kitchens to outdoor games like foosball or air hockey.
We are also seeing an increase in requests for retractable bug awnings and retractable features such as tuck-away television screens and projectors for outdoor movie night that provide countless additional entertaining opportunities.
Party Seating and Multi-Level Porches
Your oversized covered porch will need to have plenty of seating for all those summer galas. Popular seating options are outdoor sofas and armchairs, an outdoor chaise lounge, and outdoor pillows. Another great choice would be to add a romantic bench that sits somewhere secluded for private one-on-one conversations and photo opps.
Adding a porch with two or more levels is also a popular option this year. A multi-leveled porch adds an interesting way to section off the porch for multiple experiences and functions. One section could be equipped with a patio table for grilling, picnics, or dining al fresco, while the lower level could be set up with lounge chairs for tanning and poolside conversation.
A Gorgeous Lanai
We have talked about the benefits of a pergola in our companion blog but what about adding a gorgeous Lanai to your outdoor living area?
A pergola is a great option because it allows a bit of sunshine or a cool breeze to come through, plus you can deck them out with breathtaking textiles.
Our customers also love to include a lovely Lanai in their remodeling plans.
The difference is, a lanai is built with a roof and open sides. This could very well become your favorite spot to enjoy a gentle rainstorm. The roof also means that your outdoor furnishings won’t fade and deteriorate in the sun as quickly as they might with a pergola.

A Fabulous Water Feature
A fabulous water feature could be the missing piece to complete the backyard of your dreams. Popular options are multi-level fish ponds, wall fountains, water jar or pottery fountains, or horizontal, trough-style fountains that can double as a sensory play option for young children. Bringing in the element of water can balance out the backyard and will add a tranquil, calming effect to your space.
