GARDEN DESIGN
Edible climbing plants scaling trellises , herb walls built into and around outdoor kitchen and dining spaces , planters overflowing with flowers that wash the area with relaxing scents … it ’ s all about creating a space that feels harmonious and natural . A space where firing up the smoker or charcoal barbecue , or grilling over the fire pit delivers an earthy , glamping-style experience that acts as a sensory detachment from daily life .

With such an array of energy-efficient patio heaters , Wi-Fi controlled heaters , in-table fire pits and other products on offer , outdoor living spaces can enable us to indulge our love of being outdoors at any time of the year .” Jo Aird , Co-Designer and Client Liaison , Outdoor Kitchen Expert
Wilding Nature will also come into play in other ways in 2022 when it comes to embracing the best of outdoor living . According to the Outdoor Kitchen Expert team , wilding will be one of the biggest trends of 2022 , as families look to disconnect from indoors but still enjoy the comforts of home . Bird song and ambient lighting , when combined with a mobile phone blocker that filters out external distractions but still allows full control over outdoor smart features , can go a long way towards creating a sanctuary that delivers an escape from modern-day chaos .
Outdoor living spaces can do everything from creating a sense of holidaying at home to adding value to a property . With another year ahead where living and entertaining outside remain a key priority for many families , we ’ re likely to see these trends embraced in homes across the country in 2022 . And not just in homes , according to Outdoor Kitchen Expert ’ s predictions , as commercial spaces jump on the outdoor living bandwagon too .
