Houzz just released the results of a survey of 1,100 homeowners that are involved in an outdoor upgrade, or had recently completed one. There is some great data in there for outdoor living and cooking, with some notable trends.
Homeowners are investing in outdoor renovations with long-term lifestyle goals in mind. We’re seeing a shift away from resale-driven upgrades toward spaces that support everyday routines and blur the lines between indoors and out, from outdoor dining and cooking to reading retreats and lounge areas. As these outdoor spaces become more personalized and multifunctional, homeowners are increasingly turning to professionals to help bring their vision to life.
