Like any kind of home furnishing, garden styles have their own revolving door of fashion trends, ranging from crazy paving and water features to parasols and trampolines.
2019 is no different, with a number of exterior design choices expected to crop up with increasing regularity over the next year and beyond.
To keep you in the loop and ahead of the curve, we’ve laid out a few of the most popular garden trends we expect to see over the coming years and how you can implement them in your home.
Inside Out
Bringing your interior design to your outside space is a growing trend in outdoor living and it’s easy to see why. Creating a stylish external space with the aesthetic allure of your interior is a fantastic way to bring your garden to life and make it the place to be for social gatherings and solo relaxation.
While gardening culture may be more associated with older generations, this new trend of interior designs outdoors is something that is particularly popular amongst younger generations. This could be due, in part, to the fast-paced lifestyles of the modern day.
However, that’s not to say it’s a trend that is exclusive to Millennials and Generation Z. Extending your indoor space into your garden is a design choice that can be enjoyed by all ages. This can be done using our indoor/outdoor tiling range, creating a seamless transition that effortlessly flows from your interior to the outside.
Eco-Friendly
Climate change, deforestation and a general sense of increased awareness has seen the world take a far more responsible approach to daily life in recent years, from weekly recycling and energy saving lightbulbs to wind farms and electric cars.
The garden is no different and eco-friendly garden design has become increasingly popular. This is something we take particularly seriously at AlfrescoPlus, which is reflected in our products and our production methods.
All of our porcelain tiles and composite decking is designed to meet and exceed the environmental standards of the European Ecolab, while our sourcing methods are meticulously refined to ensure our carbon footprint is kept to a minimum. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly garden, you can rest easy if you opt for AlfrescoPlus.

Zoning Out
Building a garden that suits you and your family can be a difficult juggling, particularly when your home has numerous ages and personalities all under one roof. As such, garden zoning has become increasingly popular and looks to continue this trend through 2019 and beyond.
The best way to describe this is to picture a long rectangular garden. Imagine a patio area directly outside the back door, leading into a green patch of lawn, before ending with a raised area of decking. Each zone can be used for a completely different purpose, with the patio for relaxing, the garden for play and the decking for socialising and barbeques.
Obviously, that is purely an example; the true extent of garden zoning is limited only to your imagination. If you want to throw a path, a pond or even a hot tub into the mix, you won’t hear any objections from us!
By breaking up your garden into sections, you not only effectively create designated areas for different activities, you also make your garden seem bigger as a result.
Show Time
Despite the general consensus that British weather is dull, depressing and decidedly damp year-round, that doesn’t stop us from venturing outdoors in the pursuit of a good time. In fact, outdoor entertaining has become its own garden trend, with sales of garden furniture reportedly on a steady incline.
British weather can be surprisingly hot at times, making the garden the perfect venue to entertain guests or entertain yourself. Whether it’s dining under the sun or socialising under the stars, holding court in your garden is a great way to make the most of your outdoor space and make the most of the good weather at the same time.
Turn your garden into the place to be when the weather allows by creating a stylish paved patio, complete with comfy furniture like garden sofa, or an inviting deck area that’s perfect for those barbeques that last long after sundown.
There you have it, a peak behind the turf at some of the main garden trends you can expect to see this year and beyond. Keep your garden in vogue with AlfrescoPlus!
