Six new trends for 2020
We’ve spied six amazing new looks to watch out for this year. Coming soon to a store near you!
Create a structure of rich foliage with the purple hues of Cotinus ‘Grace’ and Photinia ‘Pink Marble’. For soft highlights, plant Astrantia ‘Roma’, English shrub roses and white hydrangeas, threaded with Calamagrostis ‘Overdam’ for a modern twist. Accessorise with natural wood, basketware and patio containers in pale Tuscan shades.
For those who are wild at heart, this trend is all about bold prints that are accentuated with pinky copper tones. Think animal kingdom meets plant kingdom as you piece together your planting and styling accessories. Feathered ferns and lush tropical leaves will make your space a true oasis.
Lie back and imagine what your patio space could be like with a sunset-pink painted wall and peachy-toned furnishings. Summer evenings would transport you to distant lands. Furniture and accessories have a handcrafted feel with basket weave and pom-poms.
A gentle and calming environment is achieved with soft grey tones, creating a monochromatic palette that is easy on the eye. Paint walls and fences in white and charcoal to open up the space. Pops of foliage are key to the planting scheme, rather than lots of bold florals.
Don’t underestimate the impact of your wall colour. And if you fancy a change from white, black walls are a great choice. Far from giving you a Gothic look, you’ll be creating something with a fresh and nautical feel. Pale wood and wicker materials lighten up the place and potted trees will keep this trend looking compact and organised, with a flair of practicality.
A fresh and vibrant colour palette for that ‘garden party’ feel to uplift the spirits. Feature plants of Cordyline
‘Pink Passion’ and
Phormium ‘Yellow Wave’ contrast beautifully with flower colour from yellow
Rudbeckia ‘Smileyz’ and pink Garvinea
‘Sweet Surprise’. Accessorise with brightly coloured patio containers and painted metal furniture in sunshine shades that all the family will enjoy.
