Baby it's hot outside! The 3 hottest terrace trends for 2022
15-04-2022
The sun pierces the clouds as well as the sahara sand and smiles heartily at us. Even King George peeks out from behind his curtain and quietly dares to trade the fireplace for the brazier and the kitchen for the barbecue. But what else awaits him outside? King George’s honor as a trend spotter is upheld with 3 scorching hot terrace trends that will heat up outdoor living this year: nesting in nature, hybrid design and low & high dining.
Trend 1: Nesting in nature
The penchant for nature with its soft colors and organic shapes won’t go away in 2022 either. Garden furniture and accessories like to stay as close as possible to the real thing both in concept and execution. This means lots of wood, such as teak, and natural wicker in rattan or wicker. In terms of color scheme, we mainly see subdued tones such as green, rust, blue and earth colors. Those who like to interpret the trend literally can take shelter in their own little man’s nest against the speed of the (digital) world.
Trend 2: Hybrid design
Hybrid has become the trend, even for patio furniture. Albeit in a slightly different way: the trend of particularly cleverly designed outdoor furniture has developed into garden furniture where the boundary between interior and exterior is almost invisible. We see sleek tables and elegant chairs that seem straight out of glossy interior design reports. Even the bulky lounge feels more refined and sophisticated than ever and is barely distinguishable from the sofa inside.
Trend 3: Low dining/high dining
You can’t start lounging early enough, preferably right from the appetizer. That’s why dining tables sag cozily into comfortable low dining tables that form a perfect whole with the outdoor lounge. The same goes for aperitifs, because there too we prefer to start too early rather than too late. On high legs, we enjoy the summer night at bar-height tables that ensure that the conversations remain level even in 2022.
