Interest in Outdoor Design continues to gather momentum. With people spending more time at home these days, keeping up with Outdoor Decor Trends is quickly becoming an essential for the ultimate summertime experience.
To bring life to your outdoor space, let's explore some of the most popular Outdoor Decor Trends of 2022:
Life’s a beach: Coastal inspiration
Now that summer is here, Coastal Style is the go-to decor option for a fresh, laid-back approach to the holiday season. Testament to its popularity, Coastal Style remains a perennially popular choice for outdoor designs; this includes coastal outdoor pillows, coastal outdoor rugs and coastal outdoor chairs.
Along with nautical-inspired designs, coastal colours come with a natural palette of clean and crisp shades of white with touches of ocean-inspired blues and warm yellows.
For something breezy, the Summerhouse collection of printed fabrics and coordinating weaves by Osborne & Little brings the coast home. The fabrics are stain and mildew-resistant and have excellent light fastness, making them suitable for outdoor use.

Go boho chic with your outdoor design
For anyone who loves interior design, we can never forget that the outside is just as important as the inside; the living experience of the space should be enjoyed holistically, as an all-encompassing interpretation of the homeowner's personality.
For those who prefer to express themselves with an eclectic twist, Boho Style is just for you!
“Design is coming to grips with one’s real lifestyle, one’s real place in the world.”
Boho Style is peppered with colourful, ethnic patterns; wicker and rattan being the foundation for the design. Be bold with Boho, if an eccentric wallpaper or printed fabric is used tactfully and with intention, the space can be transformed into another world, a living space, imagined and carefully curated into a real-life outdoor haven.
Botanical and tribal prints are the go-to designs for this trend. The Sunny Day Collection by JAB provides the perfect patterns for that Boho Style outdoor design.
Macramé and brightly coloured pillows and textiles speak the language of Boho Style. A notable fabric collection to use for this outdoor design trend is the Exotic fabric from the collection where the colour range with many fruity and vibrant tones puts you in a summer mood.
Bring the outdoors indoors
Bring the Outdoors Indoors and create a seamless journey between the inside of your home and your outside haven.
“I’ve always liked the idea of having wall to wall doors that opened out to the patio. What a great way to blur the boundaries between the living room and your backyard…”
An easy way to do this is by adding greenery to the entrance of your home and patio, and to really bring things together, a botanical wallpaper will do the trick.
Talking about green, Brahmi Outdoor Leaf from the Palme Botanique Collection by Designers Guild will turn your space into a botanical wonderland.
