Deckorators, a leading brand of UFP Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPI), explores this and other emerging trends in its summer edition curated in
collaboration with professional insights from leading deck, dock, and interior design influencers.
The report, which leverages the leading tastemakers who build award-winning outdoor living environments across the country, explores major shifts in homeowner engagement, the rise of health and wellness features including a re-emergence of hot tubs, decking innovation including retractable decks in lieu of vinyl pool covers, and interest in front porch design that prioritizes comfort and sociability as well as enhances curb appeal.
"As the outdoor living industry adjusts to a new normal, we’re finding that homeowners have taken a more active role in contractor selection as well as their participation in the creative process to build outdoor living spaces that not only are cohesive counterparts to how they live indoors, but also ensure their properties maintain and increase their value,” says Michelle Hendricks, Deckorators Category Marketing Manager.
“The homeowner mindset has shifted,” says Hendricks. “An emphasis is put on finding the right products through carefully considered research. This includes more intentional design solutions and more in-depth dialogue about how outdoor accessories function and work with their family’s lifestyle.”
