Gardens are an important part of people’s daily lives, being so much more than just an extension of your home. With a desire to reconnect with the outdoors, and to express individuality – regardless of your garden’s size or style, we’ve got you covered. From modest balconies to expansive gardens, the future is brimming with landscaping opportunities. Take a look at the key garden trends of 2023.
Warming Neutrals
The connection with nature and a slow lifestyle are the characteristics of this trend.
The warming neutrals trend is all about adding a gentle softness and comfort to garden design whilst using hard landscaping materials. Creating softness within your garden can be achieved by adding curves to your paving design, enabling fluid lines and rounded edges to resemble the lines found in the natural world. Complete your garden design with warm lighting, relaxed planting such as large shrubs and trees and a water feature to add a soothing sound into the environment, providing comfort and a sense of wellbeing.
New Rustic
Nature enters the home conjuring a past full of memories and meanings with the New Rustic garden trend.
It’s a trend that evokes the imperfect charm through the inclusion of simple materials such as wood and stone creating a sense of warmth, belonging and a lived life. But when it comes to hard landscaping, you can add longevity to your garden by using wood-effect porcelain for a natural, authentic feel, accompanied by cobbled paving to create vintage charm. Our Elegante Timber Porcelain is a durable, wooden flooring alternative whilst our Aura Block Paving is the perfect block paving to add character to your garden design, especially for borders and pathways. Complete your garden with terracotta pots brimming with herbs, inherited furniture and copper fire pits for cosy evenings.
Classic Simplicity
The classic simplicity trend consists of minimalism enhanced with contemporary, timeless charm.
To carry out this elegant trend in your garden, you’ll want to stick to a limited colour palette and carry these colours throughout your planting. Whilst roses, tulips and peonies come and go throughout the season, the simplicity of topiaries, sculptural succulents and boxwood hedges can add structure to your design, creating a bold, visual impact. Natural stone is a timeless patio paving choice, whilst porcelain has recently grown in popularity, replicating the natural aesthetics of stone, both are solid choices for creating a classic garden. Our Elegante Quartz Porcelain is a popular choice due to it’s sleek plan size and light aesthetic.
