Do you have a stylish wardrobe? Check! A stylish home interior? Check! A stylish garden? Not as likely! Yes, gardens go through trends, just as clothing and interior design do, and if you are itching to transform your outdoor space into something that will have guests oohing and aaahing, then read on. Here, you will be walked through the most popular trends for gardens in 2024. Enjoy!
Combine Indoor with Outdoor
In 2024, the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces are set to become a bit more blurred.
More people are opting to cover their indoor space with green plants, whereas, when it comes to gardens and front porches, more people are aiming to move furniture and even smart devices outside. If you want a simple-looking garden where the interior and exterior look similar, then look on websites like RightScapes for ideas or to book a consultation to get those spaces merged, and looking great at the same time!
Wildlife Spots
In the last few years, the emphasis on having a part of any outdoor space dedicated to wildlife has become more popular.
So, if you want to have some buzzing in your outdoor space or see the bright colours of a butterfly, it can be worth adding some wildlife spots to your outdoor space. This could be as simple as planting pollinating plants, investing in some bird feeders, or even adding a small pond. Just remember that if you opt to put in pollinating plants, they are prone to self-seeding, which means they can spread.
Water!
Water features will seemingly never go out of fashion when it comes to designing an outdoor space.
Water features, ponds, and even built-in pools will always be an eye-catcher in any garden space, and, of course, they can add value to your home. If you want to have a garden pool dug in, your best bet is to hire professionals to ensure it is done correctly. If you want a water feature fitted in your back garden, then it can be worth looking at solar-powered options, as these can add the luxurious sound of running water to your relaxation zone without you needing to spend a fortune on an electrician!
Solar Lighting
It should come as no surprise that many people want to add light to their garden space. However, the days of running electrics from the house to the outdoor space are long gone! In 2024, whether you want string lights or a streetlight in your garden, you have just got to opt for solar lighting! This option is cheaper, can be just as bright as traditional lights, and, best of all; these lights come in tonnes of different colors and designs.
Mushrooms!
Are mushrooms trending in garden design? Well, yes! There has been a shift in garden design in recent years, with more people opting for a more natural looking space which includes growing mushrooms!
Of course, if you have a tree and you spot fungal growth on it, that’s not ideal but, if you are able to release spores into a set part of the garden, and you can grow them in a controlled way, this can add an interesting focal point to the outdoor space. Best of all, they can double up as food! Aim to grow shitake, oyster and button mushrooms if you are a fan of fungus that both looks good, and tastes good!
