Improve Lighting

Enhance your outdoor living space by adding various types of lighting to create a stylish and accessible area throughout the year. Leslie Adkins, vice president of marketing and ESG development for Trex.

Install Fire Features

Introducing a fire pit or other fire feature, whether electric, gas, or wood-burning, can add warmth and become the centerpiece of your yard. Amanda Cimaglia, vice president of ESG and corporate affairs at the AZEK.

Upgrade a Deck

Adding or expanding a deck is a practical way to increase the usability of your outdoor area throughout the year. Leslie Adkins from Trex highlights that composite materials for decking are a smart choice.

Lay Down a Rug

Adding an outdoor rug is a simple yet effective way to provide an insulating layer, preventing heat loss from the ground and making outdoor areas like balconies, pergolas, and patios warmer and cozier.

Select Weatherproof Furniture

Choosing weatherproof outdoor furniture is crucial for year-round comfort. Materials like all-weather wicker or aluminum are ideal as they can withstand rain, snow, and sunlight. Pair these with plush outdoor.

Plan for Privacy

Creating privacy and shade in your outdoor space can be achieved with umbrellas, pergolas, and natural elements. Large umbrellas with adjustable stands offer sun protection and privacy.

Create an Outdoor Kitchen

Enhancing your outdoor area with a kitchen setup can significantly increase your quality of life. Leslie Adkins from Trex notes that homeowners are investing more in their kitchens, both indoors and out.
