8. Outdoor Social Spaces

This trend has become increasingly popular throughout the course of the pandemic. Because it was unsafe to gather inside, people began to get more creative with how they could interact with people outside. As a result of both people being stuck at home as well as an increased desire to be outside, people saw spaces in their homes that they wanted changed, and backyard renovations spiked during the pandemic.  Because restaurants were unable to host customers in indoor dining rooms, restaurants started to offer more outdoor seating during the pandemic and it still remains to be a popular trend.
