Your Home as Your Outdoor Oasis
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, our homes have taken on expanded roles. Beyond shelter, they now serve as smart offices, learning hubs, recreational retreats, and luxury escapes for the mind, body, and spirit.
At the top of homeowners’ wish lists is the outdoor oasis. According to the 2025 Curb Appeal Report by Thumbtack and Zillow, 71% of homeowners said they would even consider going into debt to create their dream outdoor living space.
“Homeowners aren’t just making minor updates,” says Robert Hession, CEO of Homage Row and a veteran construction management consultant. “They’re willing to borrow money, which is a clear signal that outdoor living is a priority investment.”
Patio Furniture — The Foundation of Outdoor Living
The essence of today’s luxury outdoor oasis begins with finding the right patio furniture that reflects both style and comfort. According to Fixr’s 2025 Outdoor Living Trends Report, 58% of design experts highlight minimalist outdoor furniture as the year’s top trend, showing widespread appeal for sleek, well-designed patio setups.
“Homeowners want quality outdoor furniture that is comfortable but unobtrusive,” says Hession. “Furniture should blend seamlessly with the home—and the outdoors—to create an oasis that is both relaxing and inviting.”
At Homage Row, we proudly feature premium outdoor furniture brands trusted for durability, craftsmanship, and design excellence:
- POLYWOOD® – Sustainable, all-weather furniture made from recycled materials.
- Lloyd Flanders® – Iconic woven furniture with timeless appeal.
- Royal Teak Collection® – Elegant teak furniture built for durability and timeless beauty.
- HIGOLD – Contemporary, design-forward outdoor collections with a modern edge.
- Alfresco Home® – Stylish, versatile pieces that blend European design with everyday comfort.
These collections provide everything from outdoor dining sets and lounge chairs to sectionals, fire pit tables, and umbrellas, ensuring your backyard oasis is both stylish and functional.
Surging Interest in Saunas & Cold Plunge Wellness Features
Alongside furniture, another fast-growing trend is the rise of health-focused home upgrades that support relaxation, recovery, and well-being. The outdoor wellness market is booming in 2025, blending advanced technology with natural design.
- Hybrid saunas combining infrared and traditional steam, enhanced with smart controls.
- Cold plunge tubs featuring integrated chill-heating systems for year-round therapy.
- Outdoor showers, a $45.8 million market in 2025, with homeowner demand up 29%.
- Smart pergolas that adjust shade, airflow, and lighting—often doubling as outdoor yoga studios.
But a successful outdoor wellness retreat is about more than adding equipment. It requires thoughtful design to balance luxury with functionality. Consider:
- Privacy: Greenery, fencing, or pergolas create a serene, secluded feel.
- Landscaping: Use stone pathways, wood accents, and native plants to blend nature with architecture.
- Lighting: Soft, ambient lighting for evening relaxation or entertainment.
- Sensory enhancements: Water features, aromatherapy, and curated soundscapes for a spa-like atmosphere.
By combining these elements, you create a holistic outdoor sanctuary that supports daily routines and long-term wellness habits.
