Based on the science-backed correlations between nature and one’s mental and physical wellness, biophilic design champions the connectedness between people and the natural world. This trend explores the inherent need that humans have to be connected to nature and weaves those elements into modern, captivating spaces.
Top Trends Of 2025
Whether you’re planning an all-new outdoor space or looking to spruce up an existing area with the latest outdoor styles, explore some of the biggest topics and current trends in outdoor living today.
Maximize Microspaces
With more people looking to craft outdoor areas that rival indoor beauty and functionality, small spaces are being reimagined to pack a punch. From adaptable vertical gardening to modular firepits, microspaces are redefining outdoor living and entertaining.
Embracing Nature
Biophilic design continues to be a trend in both indoor and outdoor design. This design technique helps us to reconnect with nature and is important to both mental and physical well-being.
Beautiful Sustainability
As eco-friendly design remains a priority, materials such as Permeable Pavers that can alleviate the negative effects of stormwater runoff, will be popular choices for completing driveways, patios and walkways.
Colorfully Bold
While minimalism will remain a popular trend, we’re seeing a shift back to a classic style in design. Mixed materials and bold colors will be re-emerging through more traditional aesthetics.
Mixed-Material Design
Outdoor designs will be enhanced by using a mix of materials to complete projects. For example, it will be popular to combine pavers with complementary materials like composite decking, faux turf or decorative stone.
Tranquil Escapes
With a focus on personalized health, wellness retreats are expected to be a hot commodity in 2025. Creating personalized, tranquil environments will be in demand. This can include features like meditation nooks, yoga platforms and outdoor spas.
