Discover the Hottest Outdoor Living Space Trends of the Year
Your backyard isn’t just a yard anymore—it’s an extension of your home. This year’s outdoor living space trends prove that homeowners want comfort, beauty, and function all in one place. From elegant poolside retreats to outdoor kitchens built for entertaining, the possibilities are endless.
At Burleson Master Pools Design Center, we’re here to inspire you with the top trends shaping stylish and functional outdoor spaces in Alabama.
1. Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
One of the biggest trends this year is blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. Large sliding or folding glass doors, extended patios, and covered pool decks create a smooth transition from your home to your backyard.
👉 Tip: Consider pairing your pool area with outdoor lounge seating that mirrors your indoor decor for a cohesive look.
2. Outdoor Kitchens & Dining Spaces
More homeowners are taking cooking outdoors—far beyond the traditional grill. Full outdoor kitchens complete with pizza ovens, prep counters, sinks, and built-in refrigerators are becoming a must-have.
Pair your cooking space with a covered dining area, creating a perfect setting for poolside dinners and weekend gatherings.
3. Resort-Inspired Poolside Lounging
This year, outdoor living is all about relaxation. Think tanning ledges in your inground pool, cozy cabanas, and plush seating. Many homeowners are upgrading pool decks with durable, stylish materials like natural stone, porcelain tile, or textured concrete for a luxury resort vibe.
4. Fire Features for Year-Round Enjoyment
From modern gas fire tables to built-in stone fire pits, fire features are one of the hottest (literally!) trends of the year. They create a cozy focal point, extend your outdoor season, and pair beautifully with pool areas or outdoor seating zones.
5. Smart Outdoor Technology
Outdoor spaces are getting smarter. Lighting, audio systems, and pool features can all be controlled from your phone. Homeowners are installing programmable LED lighting, weather-resistant speakers, and even automated shade structures for ultimate comfort and control.
