Your garden should be the sanctuary of your home – peaceful, beautiful and well-maintained. One way to maintain the tranquillity of your outdoor space is by staying ahead of the curve when it comes to garden trends. Implement the most stylish furniture or the most luminous lighting of the year, and enjoy your landscape for the first time all over again! Read on for Skyline’s expert take on the upcoming garden trends for 2024.
Luxury Rattan Furniture
Luxury rattan furniture is an upcoming garden trend this 2024 that you can’t miss. Rattan is a gorgeous material with rustic charm, and a wealth of functionality – which makes it no surprise that outdoor rattan furniture is on the New Year’s wishlist for countless homeowners. It is durable, weather-resistant and can withstand direct sunlight, rain and snow. Yet, despite all of this sturdiness, luxury rattan furniture is actually quite lightweight – easy to rearrange as you please, with a natural aesthetic that enhances the cosiness of your outdoor space. Perfect for relaxing on a late evening, or hosting friends during the day.
As a timeless classic, we highly recommend Skyline’s Legna Collection. The chaise lounge is a stand-out piece, which brings a natural and flowing elegance to your garden.
Appealing Edimentals
For most, a garden is only as good as the plants that flourish within. Though, in the garden trends for 2024, many gardeners are choosing plants that have as much beautiful form as they do function. By this, we mean they’re planting appealing Edimentals in the dozens! Essentially, Edimentals are plants that look great in the vegetable garden, and indeed, they’re also very edible. These plants are easy to maintain – often drought-tolerant, low maintenance and sustainable to grow. A little water and sunlight can go a long way.
And, there’s really no limit to what Edimentals are; they could be herbs, like thyme or rosemary, fruiting shrubs like a blackberry or apricot, and even edible flowers. The choice of what to plant is yours, though you can look at some of the UK’s top garden designers favourites.
Deep and Moody Colours
Dark and moody colours are also distinguishing this 2024’s garden colour palette. Ranging from bushy, dark and red-coloured shrubs like smoke bushes, dark-leaved elder and purple basil to the delicate black peony poppies and plum sunflowers, gardens are set to look impressively gothic. If you’re a light-hearted gardener who prefers a sweeter-coloured bloom, consider incorporating deep and moody colours into your garden through outdoor mood lighting that can be adjusted as and when you’d like.
LED Planters
LED planters are last on our list for garden trends this 2024. Nowadays, the world favours ultra-modern architecture and design styles, and outdoor spaces are no different. LED planters are so distinctive and high-tech, they almost look alien! Nevertheless, they have a whole range of fun benefits that make their purchase worthwhile. They can be illuminated in most colours, at different intensities, and can create inspiring outdoor lighting effects. Because they have to protect the LED lights within, these planters are extremely durable, lightweight and weather-resistant. Customise your garden to its fullest extent with a Skyline LED planter, available in multiple shapes, too!
If you want to make the best out of your garden, we recommend starting to revamp your space in the winter. This might seem controversial, and certainly is if you grow and tend to seasonal plants, but we have good reason. By landscaping, selecting plants, purchasing and rearranging furniture in the colder months, by the time the sunlight returns and spring is in full swing, you’ll have the perfect outdoor space to enjoy as much as you and your loved ones would like.
Of course, the second best time is now. Don’t hesitate to browse through our extensive range of luxury rattan furniture to enhance your garden, and consider purchasing your LED planters as soon as possible to get started on your delicious Edimentals!
