Outdoor Design Trends for 2023

With the holidays behind us, it’s time to look forward to the upcoming year. Perhaps this means doing a few projects around the house, specifically in your outdoor living area. If that’s the case, then you’re in luck because our team is excited to share the hottest outdoor design trends for 2023. Here’s what you can expect:

Outdoor Design Trend: Black Accents

What may have once been seen as too modern or bold, it’s now confirmed that black is here to stay. The most popular way to incorporate this trend is in accent pieces, perhaps a border on your paver patio or a backsplash for your outdoor kitchen. You can also incorporate black in a more subtle way, like with your outdoor pots.

Outdoor Design Trend: Indoor/Outdoor Living

Seamlessly merging your indoor and outdoor spaces while being mindful of the unpredictable Nebraska weather will continue to be a popular client request. If you’re considering a patio, include a covered area to allow for outdoor heaters and fans. Ready to add an outdoor kitchen? Make sure it includes prep, cooking, and dining areas to minimize trips in and out of the house. Or, add a shade structure to your home to make sunrises and sunsets more enjoyable.

Outdoor Design Trend: Lighting

Landscape lights are the icing on the cake, and they’re an easy add-on to your existing outdoor space. The ambiance, curb appeal, and sophistication they add to your home make your space feel welcoming and timeless.

Outdoor Design Trend: Natural and Native

Expect to see landscaping trends continue toward pollinator plants that benefit the environment. Flowering plants that do well in Nebraska include milkweed, coneflower, sunflower, goldenrod, chokecherry, and aster. The bees, butterflies, moths and hummingbirds (and Mother Nature!) will thank you.
