PINTEREST’S HEAD OF HOME MATT SIBERRY SHARES THE TOP FIVE TRENDS DOMINATING THE JOY OF LIVING OUTSIDE THIS SEASON
TREND TALK

" Extend your home into the great outdoors"

Being inside my home is a sanctuary, but there's something special about the outdoors, especially if it's your own space. Family and friends all gathered round, trays of drinks, delicious food, bees, flowers... I can easily get carried away. I think the reason we, the British public, love the idea of outdoor living so much, is because we've traditionally done so little of it! However, I think the last few years have pushed us to embrace being outside more often.

Pinners (Pinterest users) are continuing to get creative, saving ideas to their Pinterest boards for decking projects, multifunctional fire pits and decorative rain chains (more on these later). So, as we've recently taken to hosting people at home to keep costs down, it's time to continue doing the same out of doors.
