Top Outdoor Living Trends for Colorado in 2025
Covered Patios and Decks
Covered outdoor spaces are becoming increasingly popular, offering protection from unpredictable weather and the intense Colorado sunshine while maintaining an open feel. Adding features like heaters, ceiling fans, and waterproofing systems allows you to enjoy these areas year-round.
Bring Indoor Entertainment Outside
Why be stuck inside watching your favorite show or game indoors when you can bring the fun outside? Installing mounted TVs on covered patios allows you to enjoy movies, the Broncos games, or even host streaming nights under the stars. Picture hosting weekly watch parties surrounded by friends and family. Weatherproof technology keeps your setup protected through snowy winters and hot summers. Complement your outdoor entertainment area with elements like recessed lighting or fire tables to ensure everyone stays comfortable during those crisp Colorado evenings.
Integrating Nature Into Your Outdoor Design
Built-in planters, vertical gardens, and raised garden boxes are popular features that enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of patios, decks, and walkways.
By incorporating native Colorado plants or bright accent flowers, you can elevate your outdoor area into a serene, eco-friendly retreat. These greener touches not only make your space more inviting but also create a healthier and more relaxing environment. Pair built-in planters with versatile herbs or succulents for a mix of beauty and practicality in your outdoor space. Raised garden boxes provide a setting for growing your own vegetables for delicious summer meals.
Outdoor Kitchens
The heart of any home extends to the outdoors with fully functional gourmet kitchens becoming a luxury addition to patios and decks. Imagine enjoying a backyard equipped with a built-in grill, pizza oven, smoker, beverage cooler, and counter space designed by our professional team to entertain with style and efficiency.
Thanks to our mostly mild winters, outdoor kitchens can remain operational year-round. You can incorporate heating elements like fire tables or overhead heaters into your designs, ensuring warmth and comfort through every season. Whether you’re hosting a BBQ or creating a cozy family meal outdoors, your custom kitchen will become the centerpiece of your backyard lifestyle.
Fire Features
Even if a full outdoor kitchen isn’t for you, fire tables and outdoor heaters continue to top the list of outdoor living must-haves. Not only do they add warmth and ambiance, but they also create a cozy gathering spot that can be enjoyed year-round.
Sustainability First
Homeowners in Colorado pride themselves on their eco-conscious lifestyle. There are many sustainable building solutions - such as composite decking made from recycled materials and solar-powered outdoor lighting - that are both durable and low maintenance but also environmentally responsible.
Composite decking is ideal for Colorado’s diverse weather conditions, resisting wear and tear from snow, rain, and sun. We partner with the best in composite decking, sourcing materials from suppliers such as Timbertech, Deckorators, Trex, and more. The versatility of composite materials allows us to craft outdoor spaces that fit any aesthetic, blending modern elegance with timeless charm.
In Colorado, where the beauty of nature surrounds us, outdoor living spaces have become a staple for homeowners looking to enhance both their lifestyle and their property value. Whether it’s a spacious deck for summer barbecues, a cozy patio with a fire table for chilly evenings, or a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, the benefits of these spaces extend far beyond aesthetics.
Not only do these features improve your quality of life, but they’re also a smart investment. A well-designed outdoor space can recoup up to 70% of its cost in added home value. For Colorado, where spending time outdoors is a lifestyle, these spaces can significantly increase not only your personal enjoyment of your home, but also its marketability. Make 2025 the year you transform your outdoor space into a stunning retreat that you, your family, and your friends can enjoy for years to come!
