Spring has officially sprung! It’s February already, can you believe it? With only a few short months until summer, it’s about time we start thinking about our gardens. After all, the increases we have seen towards the cost of living could indeed impact our ability to travel abroad this year. This could result in us spending more time at home and in our backyards. This year, it’s up to us to create a holiday-esque vibe on the patio or a beach-resort alternative on the porch. A small balcony could even be the perfect backdrop for your holiday-from-home space. Still, you can’t begin this task without a plan. You will need to ensure that your new project reflects the garden trends of 2023. You will also require comfortable and stylish garden furniture and luckily we can help with both of these. To assist you with this, we have put together an easy-to-follow guide so that you can easily follow the current garden trends and choose the perfect outdoor furniture for your space.
Sticking With Natural Materials
It’s no surprise that we are revisiting natural elements again this year. Biophilic design had a huge year last year and it looks like this trend is set to remain both indoors and outdoors with regard to garden furniture. Natural materials such as wood, rattan, wicker and jute are still extremely relevant and we are continuing to increase our connectivity to the natural world through the use of direct nature, indirect nature, and space. Garden chairs paired with an accompanying garden table could be just what you need to create the perfect outdoor space. Crafted from a beautiful, brown rattan, the Malaga Dining Garden Set above can be used both indoors and outdoors in a conservatory or outdoor patio.
Browns & Taupes For Outdoor Living
Until now, the focus remained firmly on grey garden furniture. This year, you can expect to see warmer colours coming through. Browns, taupes, terracotta, and even soft pastel colours are all set to be on trend for 2023, so outdoor furniture in these particular colours would definitely be a wise investment this summer. Garden tables and chairs, egg chairs, sun loungers, and any other garden piece should reflect this current colour trend if possible.
Indoor-Outdoor Merge
Summer 2023 will see the introduction of the “indoor-outdoor merge”. Until now, our gardens and patios have been just that, gardens and patios completely separated from our homes in terms of decor. Now, we are prioritising the indoor-outdoor look which will focus greatly on the finishing touches. Home accessories such as rugs, vases, cushions, throws, and lanterns can all help to create a cosy, indoor vibe and they’re relatively inexpensive, so it’s a win-win! Remember to stick to warmer tones when choosing accessories for your outdoor space. The main goal here is to make your outdoor space feel like an extension of your interior.
Rounded Shapes
As previously mentioned, biophilic design focuses on our connectivity to nature. In order to exaggerate this feeling we are using natural colours and materials in both our indoor and outdoor decor. Rounded and unusual shapes can also reflect the natural world and should be included where possible. Think of non-symmetrical vases and clay-style plant pots with slight imperfections. A round garden table with curved chairs would also help to include that non-traditional shape in a larger and more overstated way.
Luxurious Materials
It’s not just rattan we are seeing outside anymore. Luxurious materials such as marble and copper are becoming increasingly popular for garden decor. A simple side table coated in beautiful white marble would add a glamorous element to an otherwise bland-looking garden set. This will also provide an additional table for copious amounts of liquids that everyone will inevitably drink on a warm summer’s day.
Fire Pit For Cooler Nights
Unfortunately, we don’t reside in a warm country. It rains often and the temperature never quite reaches the heights we require. Still though, as long as we are fully aware of what we are dealing with, managing it doesn’t seem half as bad. A garden set with a fire pit table would resolve this issue in an instant. Not only is it bang-on-trend to organise a boojie nighttime soiree, but it could be easily enhanced and extended with the addition of a fire pit garden set.
Garden Sofa
Because the emphasis this year is to create a cohesive indoor-outdoor space, comfort is key. For summer 2023, the three most talked-about words will be - oversized, large, and comfortable. An outdoor set with a garden sofa is exactly what is needed to tick all of these boxes without putting too much of a strain on your pocket. If you want to incorporate all of the garden trends into one, don’t forget to invest in a brown-coloured option.
