Outdoor design trends for 2025: Pergolas, Comfort and Elegance

In 2025, outdoor design continues to evolve towards a more integrated, functional and personalized vision of everyone’s outdoor space. It’s not just about decorating, but about creating year round outdoor environments that reflect the lifestyles and tastes of those who inhabit them.

What are the outdoor design trends for 2025?

Here are the key points that will guide this year’s most inspiring projects, especially if you’re considering installing a pergola or redesigning your terrace.

1. Year-round outdoor living spaces

One of the major trends in outdoor design for 2025 is the creation of protected, comfortable spaces that can be used whatever the climate. In this context, bioclimatic pergolas are the ideal solution: thanks to their motorized adjustable louvers and wind resistant screens, they can control light, air and rain, adapting the environment as required. What’s more, during winter, the slats remain open, so there’s no problem with snow.

At Ombrasole, our pergolas are designed in Quebec with Italian engineering and manufactured to offer protection, durability and elegance at all times.

2. Minimalist design and hard-wearing materials

Modern style is always in the spotlight. Solid structures, high end finishes and colors such as light gray or matte black are all the rage. In addition to aesthetics, materials such as aluminum guarantee durability and resistance without requiring a lot of maintenance.

3. Integrated technology discreetly

The integration of intelligent automation is another key trend in exterior design for 2025. Motorized pergolas, rainwater evacuation systems, LED lighting and integrated remote-controlled curtains provide a sophisticated experience without complicating life.

Ombrasole offers complete solutions that combine design, technology and comfort, without compromising the aesthetics of the space.

4. Total customization

Customized design is becoming essential. Instead of standard solutions, customers are looking for something that matches their dimensions, architectural style and aesthetic preferences. In 2025, priority is given to customized projects that meet a real need: to create a unique space that reflects the character of the home.

Ombrasole is the only company in North America to offer roof integrated mosquito screening. This unique innovation makes it possible to enjoy the outdoors without insects, without compromising the aesthetics or functionality of the space. It’s a detail that makes all the difference, especially in regions like Quebec, where mosquitoes can limit patio use in summer.

5. Merging indoors and outdoors

The boundary between indoors and outdoors is becoming blurred. Ombrasole products create a harmonious transition between home and garden or terrace. Thanks to them, it’s possible to extend the comfort of the home to the outdoors and create a functional, sophisticated and relaxing space.

Conclusion: outdoor design in 2025 requires vision, innovation and expertise

Outdoor design trends for 2025 point in a clear direction: outdoor spaces must be functional, elegant and adapted to modern lifestyles. It’s no longer just a matter of beautifying, but of creating functional environments, with intelligent technologies, sustainable materials and design thought out down to the smallest detail.

Pergolas and awnings are the perfect answer to this evolution. They offer protection, total environmental control and impeccable visual integration with any architecture.

At Ombrasole, we combine Italian design, local manufacturing in Quebec and over 40 years’ experience to offer top-level outdoor solutions. We’re also the only company in North America to integrate a mosquito net directly into the pergola roof: a unique innovation that completely transforms the outdoor living experience.
