The trend for outdoor spaces for the past few years has been and continues to be a move from living inside to out. People are integrating outdoor living into their daily lives and are creating finished outdoor “rooms”. In the quest to create resort-like exteriors at home, we are seeing more and more products created initially for commercial use being adapted for residential use like misters, well-designed, high-quality outdoor furnishings, high-performance outdoor flat screen TVs and more. Outdoor kitchens are being taken to a whole new level with products like grilling stations, wine refrigerators, ice makers and pizza ovens to create pro-level kitchens outdoors. Lately, I’ve been wondering if we should change our name to “Home Resorts R Us.”
