As the temperature slowly rises and the sun makes more appearances, it is clear that spring is just around the corner. The days will be getting longer with more time to enjoy outside with your loved ones. Many have gotten into the habit of spring cleaning, but another good idea is to get your outdoor space ready for enjoying.

Some 2022 trends we have seen include pergola builds with winding and lush greenery, privacy walls, hanging seating, and more. No matter what your style is there is an option for you.

Privacy walls are becoming more popular as they can be a DIY weekend project. A privacy wall can be personalized to match your backyard style.

You can incorporate a wall garden in several different fashions. You can add planters into the design of the wall. Another option is to install small pot holders to insert plants into. You can even grow climbing vines directly onto a privacy wall or you can always include fake greenery to a privacy wall.

If you are looking to incorporate artificial plants, UpScapers, has very realistic looking options. If you’re looking for a more budget friendly options, Amazon is a great place to start your search!

If you love to spend time outdoors enjoying a good book then you are likely also a fan of comfortable seating too. If you enjoy a hammock, why not have a hammock station where more than one individual can enjoy on a warm sunny day.

If you’re more into sitting than laying down or happen to be a bit on the clumsy side, hanging chairs can be a great alternative.

If you have a bigger family the porch swing size may be best for your backyard oasis.

You can see that hanging seating is hung under arbors and perolas.

Pergolas can provide shade amongst a number of other amenities. Pergolas have a wide range of covering options.

Pergolas can have coverings made from plants such as wisteria, bamboo, hanging lights or lanterns, even clear platic or glass to let in sunlight.

Another on of our mst loved outdoor trends is one that grew in popularity during the pandemic, backyard bars! There is such a large range of backyard bars on the market. Below you see one that has three stools for guests, while the one below it can dimply be folded into a wall and pulled down when in use.

If you are wanting a more simple bar setup and are fortunate to have nextdoor neighbors you would like to crack open a beer with, then a shared fence bar is a wonderful option. The image below was posted by Twitter user @Marts1977 to show how he made his fence a bar during the pandemic to saftely maintain distance while catching up.

If you’re looking for a more family friendly entertainment environment for your backyard, this outdoor cinema built on an arbor-like structure is a fantastic idea. The Horticult has an amazing step by step guide on bringing the movies to your backyard.

Water features, pools, and hot tubs are great ameneties for transforming any backyard into a personal oasis. Below are two add-ons to pools and hot tubs to include guests who may not want to get in, but want to hang out all the same. There is something to be said for having a flat surface to set your drink while enjoying a nice soak.

Trex decking material is a great option for use by pools and hot tubs as it is composite decking and therefore not nearly as susceptible to rot or water damage. Let’s be real, splashing around a bit can be fun, but even more so when you can rest assured it won’t lead to damage. The best part is you can also feel good about installing Trex since it is made of 95% ecycled materials.

Don’t forget to add some extra ambiance to your personal backyard getaway with lights that also make it easier to move about safely in the dark. For more deck inspo, see our Pinterest Board!
