Trex Releases 2023 Outdoor Living Forecast

Biophilic Design, Privacy and Sustainability Lead Top Trends

WINCHESTER, Va., March 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to leading real estate website Zillow, a functional outdoor space is the most sought-after amenity among today’s homebuyers. For homeowners looking to make the most of their outdoor spaces this year, Trex Company [NYSE:TREX] has just released its 2023 Outdoor Living Trends Forecast. Based on input from consumers, contractors, retailers and industry insiders, along with its own expertise, this annual report projects backyard and outdoor trends for the year ahead.

“Spending time with friends and family has never been more valued and backyards are often the epicenter for home entertaining,” said Leslie Adkins, vice president of marketing and ESG development for Trex Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of composite decking and railing, a leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products. “Based on what we are seeing and hearing from our consumers, trade and retail partners, the focus on outdoor living shows no signs of slowing. As we head into peak outdoor living season for 2023, we already feel the momentum and demand building as homeowners continue to invest in optimizing their outdoor spaces as functional and stylish extensions of their homes.”

Following are five trends that Trex expects to shape backyards in 2023:

1. Light Neutrals

The biophilic influence of nature on home design – both indoors and out – will be evident in everything from material choices to colors. According to this recent online poll, light neutral hues are expected to permeate home exteriors in 2023 due to their ability to create a sense of calm and serenity. Providing the perfect foundation for an on-trend outdoor space this year is Trex Transcend Lineage decking. Featuring four nature-inspired hues, including a creamy taupe, deep mocha, light coastal brown, and airy mountain grey, this new collection offers an elevated aesthetic with elegant graining that delivers an unmatched natural appearance. As an added bonus, Lineage decking is engineered with heat-mitigating technology in the shell to reflect the sun and keep boards cooler underfoot*. It also resists fading, scratching and mold and never needs sanding, staining or painting so homeowners can spend time enjoying their outdoor space rather than maintaining it.
