2022 GARDEN TRENDS
1 . What type of trends are we likely to see in gardens this year ?
Gardens have become even more central to the way we live and relax . 2022 is set to see our passion for outdoor living continuing to develop . This year ’ s key trends are driven by our desire to spend more time socialising and unwinding in our outdoor spaces ; creating opportunities to make these places our own .
The nation ’ s renewed passion for growing and sustainable living is seen on one of the most important trends - Rustic Resilience . Reconnecting with the natural world , reducing our impact on the world and waste are key themes , seen in vibrant gardens packed with raised beds , vertical planters and pots of seedlings . Recycling and reusing natural materials is important , and products like Ronseal ’ s Garden Paint can be used to transform and up-cycle everything from furniture to sheds .
The joy of travel and escape is reflected in what ’ s set to be another popular trend - Exotic Escape . As we turn to our gardens to provide a blast of bright colour and joy when we want to get away from it all . Think Moroccan-inspired shades , patterns and furnishing , decorated with vibrant fabrics , stunning plants and gorgeous outdoor lighting .
2 . Are there any particular styles / colours you ’ re expecting to become popular ?
As we head in to 2022 , colour schemes are wide and varied and at the heart of key trends . With the Rustic Resilience trend , there ’ s a new love for muted , natural tones – dark greens , earth colours and deep shades of intense red .
For those embracing Exotic Escape , colour is everything - the brighter the better . Think clashing yellow and orange , hot reds , and pinks and , of course , plenty of vivid greens . If you ’ re looking to give discoloured wooden furniture , decking or fences a new lease of life , a great way to do so is through applying some stain as this will have a long-lasting effect and really bring out the shine in your wood .
