The pandemic caused everyone to spend more time in their homes, so homeowners who were looking to go outdoors spent more time in their gardens and on their lawns. This has shifted the view of outdoor spaces and has made people want to personalize and decorate them to be more beautiful and inviting. Here's a list of lawn and garden trends for 2022 to include in your lawn care plans and help you decide how to decorate your outdoor spaces.

What Lawn and Garden Trends Will Inspire You This Year?

1. Colorful Gardens

Minimalist, low-key gardens have become a staple over the past few years, but this year is seeing a shift to brighter, jewel-toned colors. Pantone's Color of the Year for 2022 is a periwinkle called Veri Peri, a shade of purple that offers lots of beauty and brightness for your garden. Including this and other bright colors in your garden gives it a more appealing feel and adds positive energy that can be felt when you're spending time in your yard. When planting as a part of your lawn care routine, consider adding ferns, tropical plants, and species with bold flowers, like lilies and peonies, to give your garden a brighter feel.

2. Greener Gardens

Natural gardening and landscaping are rising, since homeowners are moving toward more environmentally conscious gardens. Incorporating native plants into your lawn care plans will reduce your carbon footprint and water usage while letting you enjoy plants that thrive without much help. They also benefit the birds and bees of your area by giving them access to foliage that will nurture them. To learn which plants are native to your area, refer to the National Wildlife Foundation's Garden for Wildlife collection, which offers a place to shop for native plants by state.

3. Blending the Indoors With the Outdoors

Including indoor items and designs in your outdoor areas extends your living space, letting you spend more time outdoors while being as comfortable as you are indoors. This can be accomplished by creating a "garden room," where you add couches, hammocks, and tables to an area outdoors where you can relax or entertain guests. You can also make the space more comfortable by planting trees, shrubs, and hanging plants to add a feeling of privacy and provide shade, making the area more comfortable. Adding string lights and outdoor lamps adds coziness and lets you spend more time in your garden at night.
