New trends and collections are found mainly in the fashion industry. But new lifestyle trends can also be discovered in the garden every year. The 2022 gardening season offers the opportunity for a fresh start. This year, the focus is especially on bringing indoor and outdoor areas together, so that game nights and wellness evenings can also take place in the garden. Indoors, the rule is: the more greenery, the better.
Garden office: Working in the greenery
2021 was the year of the home office. This was often linked to the digitalization of the labor market. Since there is a greater tendency at home to get distracted from work, many people have created a place to work in their garden shed. In addition to the advantage of fewer distractions, a garden office also offers a view of the greenery, as well as breaks in the fresh air. This can benefit performance and health. Anyone who wants to buy a garden shed needs, for the most part, only enough space for the desired size. Various office supplies can also be purchased for the furnishings.
Wellness area with sauna
In addition to work, one's own sense of relaxation is also especially important this year. While everyday life is always full of stress and sweat, free time should be a time of relaxation and well-being. Why not spend this free time in the garden? Among the plants and design, it is the perfect place for peace and quiet. There are special garden installations for this, which can be ordered online. How about, for example, a Sauna?
Anyone looking for an outdoor sauna behind the garden shed has a wide choice of many different models. In addition to classic houses that resemble modern garden sheds in their construction, the barrel sauna is a special trend in 2022.
An outdoor living room for feeling good
In line with summer expectations, the garden can also function as a living room. In 2021, most activities took place indoors, which did not have a positive impact on health. This year offers room for fresh starts. If the weather allows, the garden can be designed with beautiful home accessories. Waterproof rugs, hammocks, and a sofa area with lots of cushions can enhance the feel-good atmosphere in the garden. For enthusiasts, an outdoor kitchen is an option in a larger garden.
Especially popular this year
Everything related to health is especially popular this year. This means that a Natural garden with native herbs is also one of this year's trends. Growing herbs is not difficult and can easily be done in the garden or on the balcony. Well-known and popular varieties include peppermint, lemon balm, calendula, chamomile, St. John's wort, and much more.
Most herbs are excellent for making tea. They can also be hung in bundles to dry, so the tea can be enjoyed in winter as well.
For indoor greenery
The garden trends for 2022 not only offer multifaceted outdoor inspiration; they also bring greenery to indoor spaces. The rule is: it is not overcrowded, it fills the space! Plants should define the room, not the other way around.
Large-leaved, jungle-like plants that bring an “urban jungle” vibe into the living area are popular. This can at least somewhat soothe the longing for faraway places. In addition, many houseplants purify the air. This means indoor greenery also does something for your health.
Popular easy-care houseplants
1. The spider plant
A spider plant is a plant you can't go wrong with. When choosing a location, it doesn't matter where it stands. It grows well both in the shade and in the sun. The same applies to temperature; whether the room is warm or cold makes no difference to it.
2. The snake plant
Snake plant, the botanical name Sansevieria, belongs to the asparagus family and is also often referred to as mother-in-law's tongue. The plant is as easy to care for as a cactus and survives dry periods well. So there is no need to worry that the plant will die if it is not watered for a longer period.
3. The ponytail palm
The ponytail palm is also known as the bottle tree. Its trunk resembles an elephant's foot, hence the name; it is thick at the bottom and tapers toward the top. This plant is also easy to care for and does not need much water.
4. The dragon tree
The dragon tree, which looks like a palm, is one of the most popular houseplants. Not only because it does not care where it is placed, but also because it forgives its owner if they forget to water it. This is the perfect plant for those who do not have a green thumb.
5. The segmented cactus
When people think of cacti, they always think of a plant with spines. There are also cacti that do not have them. These include, for example, the segmented cactus, also called the Christmas or Easter cactus. It blooms in white, pink, red, orange, yellow, or purple. However, it is called a jointed cactus because its fleshy leaves are arranged like the links of a chain.
6. The rubber plant
Rubber plants are popular above all because of their dark green, glossy leaves. They grow in cool and warm places as well as in brighter and darker rooms. Rubber plants also help improve the air quality in the room. In addition, the rubber plant does not require extensive care. However, it is advisable to wipe the leaves with a duster from time to time.
