Outdoor Living Trends 2022

As we roll into June, getting out into the garden will be a top priority. But what happens if like me you haven’t done anything to this space since winter? Here are some ideas to update your outdoor living area with the trends for 2022.

With many of us working from home now, being able to work outside and enjoy the weather as well as get the work done. There are a few different options available from office sheds to summerhouses to makeshift solutions for temporary working outside.

Garden sheds and Summerhouses

You can tidy out an existing shed and deck it out with a desk, add lighting and electrics or buy a custom made shed or summerhouse.

If you do buy a custom-built structure, you can make sure you have it built exactly how you want it, and make it a proper office that you can use all year round.

Outdoor Structured Rooms

This includes summerhouses and covered patios, decking, and other outdoor spaces. Seating and shade structures provide a ‘ceiling’ overhead allowing you to use your outdoor area throughout the year, not just in the warmer months.

Bold Patterns

Have you seen the new trend where people are using stencils to paint patterns onto patio slabs and decking? This is a great and inexpensive way to brighten up your garden, add some detail and create an area outdoors that allows you to express your creative side.

You can then tie the pattern into the accessories you use to create your outdoor living area from cushions to rugs and dinner wear.

Escape to the Yard

With everything rising in price, getting away for some is just too expensive. So why not create a getaway space in your yard?

From simple updates like a water feature and a fire pit to more extravagant additions such as a hot tub, these can help create that resort-feel to your garden.

To add to the resort feel in your outdoor living space, buying new seating or even re-vamping your current furniture will help to create a space outside you want to spend time in.

Check out the deals online to find bargain new furniture or simply repaint and add new cushions and blankets to existing sets.

One thing every yard should have is a swinging chair. These can be simple to make if you really want to stick to your budget.
