This summer promises to be an excellent one for homeowners looking to do something different with their garden, and with the many trends on the rise, it means homeowners can host entertaining events for their guests in a garden that looks beautiful and stands out from the rest. Oeco has given us the lowdown on some of the trends we can expect to see this year, and if you’re looking to do something different with your garden, take advantage of the below information that will help you make your garden look different from the rest.
Change Your Garden Layout
It’s likely a lot of homeowners will change the layout of their garden this year because they’re currently bored with what their layout offers. If you’re thinking of doing the same without spending a lot of money, you can do so without changing the layout of your garden physically. You can simply change the layout by adding new features such as natural rocks and bushes, and you can even insert hedging to create new areas for guests to explore. This is a great way to change the layout of any garden with little time and effort, and it means the layout can easily be altered throughout the year depending on the events that are hosted.
Introduce Plenty of Brightness
Creating a garden that looks beautiful can be done by using neutral colours, but if you’re looking for a trend to take advantage of this year, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t plant plenty of bright flowers that will bring your garden to life. The introduction of bright yellow and orange flowers such as Gloriosa Daisies will give your garden naturally bright colours, and planting a bed of Peonies will give your garden plenty of shades of pink and purple to create a nice balance.
Decorating Your Garden is Key
You’ll need to give your garden the brightness it needs by taking advantage of naturally bright colours from flowers, but at the same time, there’s nothing wrong with purchasing brightly coloured garden furniture. Colourful structures will give your garden more and it will take away the view of the many boring neutral colours that are on display. A good trick to consider here is to varnish and paint certain structures dark so you’ll have a good mix between bright colours and features that stand out.
Take Advantage of LED Lighting to Give Your Garden that Modern Look
While it’s important to keep your garden looking as natural as ever, you’ll still want to take advantage of popular LED lighting configurations to keep your outdoor living space looking modern. This is the perfect way to brighten up your patio areas and walkways, and it will give your garden the night light it needs to look special when you’re entertaining guests in the evening. LED lighting could be the difference in making your garden look different from the rest, so taking advantage of other trends such as extendable light chains will go a long way in making your garden unique.
