Blurred Lines
These days it’s ge ing harder to distinguish out- door living spaces from interior ones, as the assortment of decorative xtures hardy enough
for damp and wet locations has expanded far beyond typical lantern shapes.
At the recent International Builders’ Show, held in Orlando last month, many exterior glass door/window companies showcased nearly oor-to-ceiling frameless doors that visually connect the patio and lanai areas with the living spaces indoors, creating a seamless aesthetic.
According to Garden Media Group’s 2018 Garden Trend Report, carving out a private garden area to relax is high on consumers’ wish lists for their homes. Po- litical turmoil, the threat of nuclear war, and the prevalence of natural disasters such as wild res and hurricanes have caused people’s stress levels to rise. In fact, The World Health Organization predicts that anxiety will become the number one health issue within the next 15 years.
A study from the State University of New York at Oswego stated that people are bringing more plants into their homes because of the health and wellness e ects (i.e. helping adults and children breathe easier indoors). Dovetailing with that inter- est is the growing intrigue with vertical gardening, where homeowners can grow their own le uce, vegetables, and herbs right in their homes without being depen- dent on weather conditions outside.
We hope this issue will give you inspiration when creating your outdoor lighting and living areas in your showroom.
