The leading composite decking brand shares
trends and industry forecast set to influence outdoor living in
2025
Deckorators®, part of the UFP Industries family, today released
its 2025 Outdoor Living Report as these unique conditions take
hold.
Deckorators' annual report consulted with an exclusive network
of talented contractors from around the country. The report
contains the key insights of: A year's worth of conversations,
feedback, and panel discussions providing an authentic
industry outlook alongside business and innovation updates from the
brand.
A refreshed look for the report— focused on project photography,
an elevated design, and a special Industry Forecast section—makes
it more user friendly for customers and designers alike.
"Each year, our mission in producing the Outdoor Living Report
is to provide an informative overview of trends and industry
shifts, as well as a source of outdoor design inspiration," says
Michelle Hendricks, Deckorators
Category Marketig Manager. "This year's Report is packed with
expert knowledge and stunning project features that represent
top-notch craftsmanship. We're excited to continue to help pros and
homeowners imagine the full potential of their own outdoor
spaces."
Standout trends outlined in the 2025 Report include:
- WELLNESS DECKS: "Today's homeowners are fully embracing–and
prioritizing–wellness experiences in their own backyards," says
Hendricks. "As requests for hot tubs, outdoor showers, cold
plunges, and saunas increase, homeowners are demonstrating an
inclination to center wellness in their outdoor living designs,
ultimately revealing an investment in long-term health and
well-being."
- MULTI-LEVEL DECKS: "Space maximization and functionality have
long remained priorities for most homeowners' outdoor living
designs," says Hendricks. "Multi-level decks have recently spiked
in popularity, allowing homeowners to optimize usage of their space
and enjoy their outdoor living spaces in different ways throughout
the year."
- BIOPHILIC DESIGN: "Our contractors have noted that their
clients are starting to prefer deck designs that emulate nature,"
says Hendricks. "Homeowners are gravitating toward more organic
design elements like greenery, natural lighting, and curved deck
shapes as they look to foster deeper connections with the world
around them."
- LIGHTING: "Lighting is essential for ensuring both safety and
ambience in the outdoor living space. We've seen quite a few
innovative design solutions this year that really take things to
the next level," says Hendricks.
"The 2025 Report is launching at a time when the outdoor living
market is primed for significant growth," adds Hendricks. "With
that in mind, we've added a new Industry Forecast section to
highlight and explain the variables driving that growth to help
readers stay ahead of the curve."
