New Year’s Resolutions for a Better Outdoor Space

A new year brings with it the chance at a fresh start – new goals, big changes and lofty ambitions. While many people focus on self-improvement, consider concentrating on home improvement in 2022.

Afterall, spending time outside is one of the easiest ways to improve your mental health and reduce stress. Here’s some tips to improve your outdoor environment this year:

Maximize privacy!

We are spending more time inside our homes than ever before, whether working, exercising or playing video games. If your 2022 resolution is to spend more time outdoors, consider adding some privacy to your space with a Decorative Screen Panel Frame Kit.

The frame kits, designed to be used with Barrette Outdoor Living’s ultra-durable Decorative Screen Panels, provide an easy way to create a privacy wall to keep prying eyes off your outdoor activities while presenting a clean and modern look. Frames kits are also customizable based on individual taste and style, as Decorative Screen Panels come in a wide range of patterns and colors.

Add an outdoor shower!

Summer will be here quicker than you can say barbeque! And if all that hot, humid, muggy weather has got you feeling sticky already, consider adding an outdoor shower to your property.

Outdoor shower enclosures create a secluded space for rinsing off after a well-enjoyed summer day – and they add value to your home! Barrette Outdoor Living’s shower enclosure kits are easy to install and are made of durable, low-maintenance vinyl.

Add some cover!

If you are looking to enhance the quality of your outdoor living experience, look no further than installing a pergola! Pergolas add shade to a yard and provide relief from the harsh rays of the sun while allowing light to fill your outdoor space. Plus, they’re a beautiful piece of outdoor décor!

Barrette Outdoor Living’s new matte black 8’ x 8’ aluminum Pergola is a great DIY-friendly alternative to traditional wooden pergolas and can be customized by adding Decorative Screen Panels to the roof and/or optional side walls. A quick assembly means enjoying those sunny days outside in no time!

Available starting in March. Learn more here >>

Let there be light!

Want to really impress your outdoor guests this year? Add some lighting to your outdoor railing for an elegant touch that just screams ‘complete.’ Solar Post Caps and a full LED “plug-and-play” lighting system are available for use with all Barrette Outdoor Living vinyl, aluminum and steel railing products. Under-rail LED lighting strips, which feature adhesive backing and easily connectable via a 50W Bluetooth compatible transformer, can be controlled on your smartphone to easily enhance your railing at night with beautiful illumination.
