As the seasons turn and Spokane finally thaws out, local homeowners are turning their attention to the great outdoors—specifically, how to make it livable. Outdoor living spaces have become more than patios and porches; they’re full-on extensions of the home.
Whether you're working with a small backyard in Browne’s Addition or an acre out in Mead, Spokane homeowners are embracing bold new trends to bring comfort, functionality, and year-round usability to their outdoor spaces.
Say goodbye to the constant sanding and staining. Composite decking is durable, low-maintenance, and built to handle Spokane’s snow, rain, and sizzling summers. Brands like Trex and TimberTech are especially popular with homeowners who want long-lasting curb appeal.
With unpredictable spring and fall weather, covered patios are the MVP. Add overhead heaters, built-in lighting, and even retractable shades for a space that’s cozy from March to November.
Spokane homeowners are cooking up more than burgers these days. Full outdoor kitchens with built-in grills, prep space, mini-fridges, and even pizza ovens are taking center stage.
Classic concrete is out—colorful pavers in herringbone, basketweave, and custom mosaics are in. These patio styles not only add design flair but hold up beautifully through freeze/thaw cycles.
From Edison string lights to built-in step lighting and lantern sconces, lighting sets the mood. Smart lighting systems with app control are becoming increasingly popular in Spokane neighborhoods.
Whether it's a built-in fire pit or a dramatic fire table, Spokane homeowners want warmth and ambiance. Bonus: it extends your outdoor season by months.
Built-in benches and multi-level decks or patios help divide space and add visual interest. It's perfect for entertaining groups—or creating separate zones for dining, relaxing, and hot tubbing.
