"It's pretty common knowledge that getting outside is one of the best things you can do for your mental and physical well-being. But it's not just direct contact with fresh air and sunshine that makes a difference, simply viewing the natural world has a soothing and healing effect - and who wouldn't want to take advantage of some free healthcare if you can get it!"
"According to South View Design, a landscaping architectural company in Minnesota, "One of the biggest 2026 design trends is thinking of outdoor spaces as extensions of the home". Many other design experts agree that outdoor living spaces will see prominent upgrades in 2026. For example, landscaping design company, Fast Class Lawn Care states "Homeowners are no longer settling for a single-purpose patio; they want a dynamic layout that supports dining, lounging, entertainment, and even remote work.""
Nature and views of the natural world provide soothing and healing effects that benefit mental and physical well-being. People are integrating indoor comforts outdoors, placing living room furniture, TVs, and rugs onto porches and decks. Outdoor living is trending as an extension of the home for 2026, with homeowners seeking multifunctional patios that support dining, lounging, entertainment, and remote work. Climate affects year-round usability, and screened porches can be converted into sunrooms by replacing screens with windows. A variety of furniture, accessories, and comfort solutions can make porches usable across seasons.
