YEAR OF THE FRONT YARD

Rethink Your Curb Appeal

Step aside, back yard. In 2026, outdoor living is moving to the front. As homeowners increasingly design their outdoor spaces for everyday use, we can't forget about the front of the home. Premier Outdoor Living, founded and led by Deckorators Certified Elite Pro, Sean Collinsgru, is leading the way.

The front porch is where the home truly opens up to the neighborhood. It's connected, welcoming, but still perfectly cozy for everyday life.

Over a five week period, Sean transformed the front of his own New Jersey home into a family-centric space, showing what's possible with Deckorators decking products. Using a zone strategy, Sean created one cohesive space with different features centered around how his entire family would use this new front yard space.

Entertain

Expand your entertainment space out front. Sean created a custom bar and swing area to act as a focal point whenever they are hosting friends and family.

Relax

Sometimes you just want to enjoy the view in peaceful comfort. Sean made sure to include a sitting area on his porch to sip his morning coffee before each day's chaos takes over.

Enjoy

Create a space for everyone to use. By creating a custom storage bench, Sean was able to build a perfect recreation space for his family—right on the front porch.
