The weather is warming up, and we can’t wait to spend more time outdoors. With longer days on the horizon, now is a good time to look at some of the key trends for outdoor furniture in 2022. Do you remember last year’s? Well, this year’s trends continue to focus on sustainability, creating a low-maintenance oasis of peace, and gardens or small green spaces as key elements. Let’s take a look.

Mediterranean Style Gardens

Perhaps social media has contributed to the rise of these exceptionally photogenic white gardens: or maybe it stems from the fact that white itself is being rediscovered this year.

In any case, gardens with a strong focus on white furniture and butter-colored decorations are a trend for outdoor furniture in 2022. The key idea behind this trend is a focus on a single monochromatic color; so, if a brown-toned garden is more your style, you’re still on trend.

Open to Nature

If you want to encourage little friends to visit your garden, rest assured: you’re not alone, it’s a desire shared by many. Garden design that attracts swallows or sparrows and other green creatures is on the rise: creating a true protected oasis means using many native plants and, ideally, some water features… also to provide your “guests” with a drink. Now all you need is a place to sit and enjoy the magic of nature up close, very close.

The Outdoor Home

The trend of blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living continues this year. Brighten up your space with sofas, rugs, cushions, and, of course, more plants; as always, the key to a successful outdoor area is to think about how you want the space to function for you and let that guide all your furnishing decisions.

Maximizing Minimal Space

If you live in the city, it’s likely that your outdoor space is small or medium-sized. Don’t worry, even small gardens have their place in the sun in 2022: however, you’ll need to work to make yours look bigger. So, “embrace” vertical gardens and create well-defined zones to get the most out of your balcony, terrace, or garden, truly making them urban oases.

Recycled Materials

With more and more people seeking environmental sustainability when considering outdoor projects, items with a previous life are becoming increasingly popular; recycled items go beyond merely checking the materials used: learning to extend their longevity is also an interesting perspective. Reusing items is a trend that can not only save the planet but also save you money.

For example, you can transform unused wood into chairs, tables, or unique seating. The wood tones will pair well with any other elements you own, creating a natural and comfortable outdoor space you can enjoy for years to come.
