We all dream of having that dream garden and becoming the envy of the entire neighbourhood. We want the guy next door to peak over his garden fence and scowl at just how beautiful our garden is all year-round. We want vibrant, unusual plants, stunning furniture and fresh grass, with maybe a water feature or a small sculpture incorporated into the design somewhere. And a huge part of any gorgeous garden is, of course, the patio.
The only problem is that patio trends change year to year, season to season, and so it can be difficult to keep a grasp on what’s fashionable and what will keep your patio looking absolutely stunning. Well, we’re here at Focused Landscapes to give you a brief rundown of some of the biggest patio trends of 2016.
- Colour
When it comes to designing and creating your dream garden, a huge aspect of the whole process is your colour scheme- and the same is true with your patio. In 2016, it seems that bright, vibrant colours are extremely fashionable for an outdoor patio. Shades like aqua and turquoise are proving to be extremely popular, and basically any other colour that helps to create a relaxed mood throughout the patio. People obviously use their patios to have a bit of downtime, and so serious colours are a definite no-no in 2016.
- Furniture
Another big part of anyone’s patio is the furniture it contains. It’s important that the bright colours mentioned above are maintained throughout your different items of furniture, as well as any rugs or other accessories you might own. But the materials and design of the furniture itself can also add to your patio’s desired effect, and this year it looks like hand-crafted furniture is extremely fashionable, as this can give your patio a much more natural look. Alternatively, any pieces of furniture that appear a little rustic are also very popular, as these tend to be excellent conversation starters if combined with those vibrant colours.
- Paving
Let’s not get carried away with talking about the different chairs and colours you could have in your patio, and instead remind ourselves that the paving of a patio is also key to the design. In 2016, repeatable randoms are absolutely all over the place. They’ve proven so popular due to their versatility and, quite simply, because of how modern they look. This will give your patio a fresh, current look that shows off just how fashionable your patio is.
