No matter how long your winter has been, there’s nothing like the feeling of renewal that comes with the longer days of spring when the weather warms up, and the flowers start to bloom. For many people, spring is the season to get your outdoor space ready to dine outside and entertain guests. Here are some outdoor patio dining trends to keep in mind this season. 

Outdoor Kitchen

The outdoor kitchen is truly the way to go if you want to combine your love for entertaining while cooking and dining in the fresh air. You can create a fun and functional design from an undercover workstation with a wood-fire pizza oven to a portable cooking station with a gas grill. You may even consider an outdoor fridge to keep those drinks cold when the weather gets hot! Modular outdoor kitchens make cooking and dining alfresco a breeze because they are space-saving in a modern way. They can even come apart and come with you if you move!

Patio Dining Set

For your next BBQ or outdoor gathering, why not spruce up your outdoor space by choosing the perfect dining set and table by making sure it is practical, durable, and comfortable. For 2022,  bistro chairs and woven textures are stylish and trendy. Your dining table can even double as a workspace if you work from home. When it’s after hours and you are entertaining, do you want people to be formally seated at a table for a meal? If so, think about an extendable table with stackable chairs you can put away when your guests leave. Check whether the materials are weatherproof so your furniture doesn’t get ruined during those summer monsoons or dust storms, depending on where you live.

Fire Pit

Fire pits are as popular as ever for 2022. Depending on the design of that particular feature and how it fits into the rest of your landscaping, they can be the main attraction of any outdoor event where you build your space around it. What’s your style? Modern, vintage, mid-century, or rustic? Choose one that works with the rest of your outdoor furniture vibe, so it looks put together like you spent time pinning a Pinterest board. Backyard fire pits also provide a convenient and cozy place to roast marshmallows and make s’mores.  Some fire pits can even double as an outdoor barbecue. Just secure a grill grid over the top of your pit by placing your grill grid directly over the pit while using the sides of your fire pit to support, or you can also buy an integrated grill grid made just for fire pits. Some of these grills can swivel and change height, making it easy to get the perfect char.
