The 2016 Pool & Spa Show

Trends in Outdoor Design (Room 318)

25 Jan 16
12:30 PM - 2:00 PM

Trends come and go, and by their nature, they are always changing, so why pay attention to them? By understanding design trends, we are looking at what matters to our clients at a particular time. The goal, as a designer, is to create spaces that aren't just beautiful, but are deeply satisfying to our customers, thereby guaranteeing a glowing referral. We will discuss the types of improvements that homeowners are willing to invest more in, where the details matter and the budgets are larger. We will look at examples of trends in outdoor living, hardscape, softscape, pools and water features.  *This class is recognized as 1.30 hrs/0.2 IACET CEUS (GENESIS)
