We're all eager to spend more time outside when the weather warms up in the southern hemisphere. Now is a good opportunity to look at some major themes that will be big in 2022, with longer days and warm evenings coming. Let’s know the different ways to style your outdoor furniture.

Mediterranean-style White Wash Gardens

If you're drooling over travel pics of Greece and the tropics, or another bucket list destination, you can take those inspiring images from your social media feeds and use them as inspiration for your outdoor room this summer. Picturesque outdoor areas featuring white adobe, white Hampton's porches and white themed gardens are just the thing for this year's trends. Rattan and natural tones and textures won't be far away from any outdoor room mood board either. With these clean and natural elements its easy to produce a tranquil haven. Sprucing up your garden, veranda or under cover sunroom is an absolute must. Creating nooks to enjoy the natural environment is what its all about. White furniture, eating and entertaining outside, décorating your outside walls and surfaces, and flowering plants are major garden trends in the upcoming year. A single monochrome colour is the main concept behind this style. So rest assured that you will still be fashionable if you favour a garden in shades of grey or black.

Living in a fluid indoor/outdoor environment

Use a low-maintenance patio area to keep things simple. The goal is to keep it simple so you can relax on your patio more often and spend less time caring for plants and moving furniture. Whether you prefer the clean lines of modern décor or the luxe-boho vibes, all you need is a place to sit or lounge comfortably and some hardy, low-maintenance plants to finish the look with outdoor balcony furniture.

Maintaining Season

You're not the only one who wants to attract wildlife to your garden. It's becoming more popular to design gardens that draw birds and other local wildlife. Lots of native plants should be used, and ideally, there should be a water feature or bird bath, to create a haven for wildlife. Your plant selections can be advised by your neighbourhood nursery.

Supportive Garden Beds

For horticultural enthusiasts, raised garden beds are great, and appear to be gaining popularity more widely in 2022. They create an attractive yet useful addition to your outdoor area. If you also have a small garden, it's a solid choice. To achieve a similar effect, switch out the planters and add some pots to break up the design. 

Outdoor seating and Decks

Create an exquisite outdoor space that seamlessly transitions from your home to blur the distinction between indoor and outdoor living. Add sofas, carpets, pillows, and, of course, more plants to luxuriate the area. The same as with any other place, the secret to a successful outdoor area is to consider how you want the room to function for you and allow that to inform your décor choices. Even outdoor bar furniture would be great for this.

Maximising Every Available Space

If you live in a city, your outside area probably isn't that large. You don't need to worry because, in 2022, little gardens will get their day in the spotlight. Making your area appear bigger is the key. To make the most of your area, embrace vertical gardens and/or mirrors and designate zones with obvious walkways. You can create a magical space in the most urbane area with a little imagination. Don't forget to utilise outdoor cushions and rugs to create a sense of comfort and add to the colour palette you have chosen. 

Use bold flower choices

It's not surprising that vivid, colourful flowers will make headlines in 2022. The desire for cottage gardens and untamed gardens is directly related to the movement toward colourful blooms. Combine and contrast your planters, and make sure you have a cosy bench seat to enjoy the display from.

The Garden to the Table

Edible gardens are quite popular, whether created in a backyard or on a balcony. Edible gardens constructed as formal gardens are prevalent, and there are some amazing examples online. Or, begin with a few pots on your windowsill and work your way up. If you don't have much experience with gardening, herbs and leafy greens are an excellent place to start.

Beautiful Wild Gardens

Use a cottage garden or wild garden to keep things romantic. Mass grass and flower plantings result in a tranquil and enjoyable garden. This garden design is also well known for its romantic accents, which add a touch of fairytale charm. In addition to adding a dreamy touch, wrought iron benches are indestructible in all weather conditions.

Emerging as major themes include sustainability, making a tranquil, low-maintenance retreat, edible gardening, and small spaces. Now all you require is a quiet place to sit and take in the wonder of nature up close.
