Lookbook: Garden & Outdoor Living By Abby McGarry

Creating an outdoor oasis remains a top priority for consumers.

The past three years have seen a huge demand for garden and outdoor living products, and this trend is not slowing down. Americans are averaging nine hours per week at home outdoors this year versus seven hours per week last year, and they want their yards to be a retreat.

This is according to research conducted by the International Casual Furnishings Association and the American Home Furnishing Alliance in which 80% of people also said their outdoor living space is more valuable to them than ever before.

The research found their top priorities included: lighting; shade; fire pit or feature; throw pillows; cushions and rugs; seating; and outdoor kitchen or bar. The following products will help your customers create their outdoor oasis, no matter how large or small.
