Jpredictions for a brand new year as industry trendsetters look back at the previous 12 months and distil the direction of design into projections for the future. And this year is like no other!
With Covid-led lockdowns fundamentally changing how we use our gardens, the trends for 2021 are bigger and better than ever. Last year, gardens became our fifth room – somewhere we could escape to from an uncertain world and a place where we could still socialise, even if that was simply chatting to neighbours over the fence. And we’ve all loved using our outside spaces more! So this year, the big garden trends are all about stamping your own individual style on your plot, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor to a whole new level and enjoying this glorious space all year round whatever restrictions may or may not happen in the future.
#1 WHEELS
For an ever-changing modern garden, 2021 is going to be wheels a-go-go! With ultra-smooth porcelain paving and composite decking becoming increasingly popular, all sorts of products from planters, tables and loungers to outdoor kitchens are getting lockable castors, enabling you to switch up your outdoor space with hardly any effort at all. Moveability is a buzzword for 2021 that will ensure your outdoor room stays relevant and useable all year round. Universal PlantTaxi in Taupe, £12.40/dia34cm bloomling.uk

#9 BOHO VIBES
This is the big garden style trend for 2021, and we couldn’t love it any more. ‘Boho’ stems from ‘bohemian’ and the word originally described a person with quirky, eclectic tastes who ignores conventional rules of behaviour, along with their style of dressing or decoration. Fast forward to modern gardens, and ‘boho’ means styling up your outdoor space to feel like a cosy little piece of paradise that’s personal to you. Create a comfy and welcoming vibe with furniture you can sink into, squishy soft furnishings and lighting. Add texture with fringing and natural materials, and use lush plants to bring a sense of plenty. But above all, ditch the rules and follow your own whims – if you love it, do it!
