Montreal, QC, March 2024 – In spite of the warmer weather, there’s no better time to chill.
“Outdoor living spaces continue to be one of the biggest home improvement trends, boosted by Canadians quest for all things wellness-related,” said Lydia Thammavong, Head Design, Styles & Trends at leading home improvement retailer RONA. “Not only does outdoor decor provide an excellent way to relax and enjoy nature, but it also expands your home’s usable area, creating a cozy, fashionable environment to entertain family and friends.”
Thammavong unveiled three outdoor living trends that RONA forecasts will be all the rage in 2024: Boho Dream, Coastal Cool and Cottage Comfort.
“No matter what your budget or taste, RONA has made it easy to create your own personal outdoor oasis with our collection of stylish pieces – from furniture to accessories – specially-curated for each theme,” she explained, adding that some of the items featured in the Boho Dream and Cottage Comfort collections are in tune with Pantone’s 2024 Colour of the Year, Peach Fuzz (13-1023), a poetic, romantic pink orange shade that emits a vintage vibe. “We’ve done all the work for our customers by selecting striking, economical items that can be mixed and matched according to people’s preferences – all they need to add is fresh air.”
