The latest in outdoor living
Spring is upon us. As the days are inching longer and the chill begins to ease, we’re re-engaging with the outdoors and embracing our gardens.
It’s the perfect time to reinvigorate your balcony, patio, and garden into an enticing outdoor living space for the summer days ahead. Read on to discover the latest trends in outdoor living.
Colour confidence
Colour confidence
No longer relegated to the background, full spectrum colour confidence has well and truly arrived.
Vivid shades sing in the outdoor space where bright sunlight amplifies tones and vibrates with energy. Strong tones pop next to each other and it seems outdated ‘rules’ around what colours can be mixed are out the window as colour combinations become playful and bold.
Biophilic prints
Biophilic prints
Brights also prove to be an excellent setting in which to layer tropical and botanical designs.
Biophilic design continues to grow as a trend, cementing itself as a design staple. Densely and broadly patterned tropical prints which celebrate foliage over florals will continue to enhance both indoor and outdoor spaces for some time to come, and outdoors they truly shine.
Classic sophistication
Classic sophistication
Although we’re easily tantalised by adventurous design and vivid colour, there is something to be said for a classic and sophisticated grey palette can be just that.
Luxurious and elegant, it’s a palette that our designers continue to invest in, so the choices available are varied. By curating this palette with interesting weaves – from pale silver to inky navy – and mixing shades will give spark to the senses, creating a high-end look and feel that is also relaxing.
Bold dimension
Bold dimension
Vivid, poppy and bold, geometrics offer dimensional patterns which bring strength and balance to your scheme.
Geometric designs can help to define the character of your outdoor living space by offering a counterpoint to views of cities, the ocean, or garden spaces. Injecting contemporary edge into a scheme, geometrics are always fun ensemble as mixing the scales of motifs together creates interest.
