Garden Design Trends to Look Out for in 2023

In recent years, the shift to outdoor living has exploded, and more people in Worcester are looking to create indoor/outdoor spaces they can enjoy year-round. If you’re thinking about renovating your garden, our professional landscapers have rounded up seven garden design trends that will be at the forefront of landscape design in 2023. 

Terracotta Stones

The 2023 Garden Trends Report announced that terracotta is the colour of the year, so this is going to be a major theme in garden design moving forward. Terracotta signifies optimism and is a great way to add warmth and excitement to a design.

If you’re looking to create a classic, inviting garden design, terracotta is a fantastic way to achieve that.  

Greek-Inspired Designs

For a more minimal, modern look, Greek-inspired garden designs are bursting onto the scene. Greek landscape design focuses on light stone, archways, and statues to create a sense of grandeur. 

Nestling statues among planters creates that Greek style, while pops of colour in a predominantly whitewashed garden evoke a feeling of being abroad. Natural materials are also key in this trend and will create a calming space. 

Lit Sculptures

Sculptures are another key trend we are going to see more of throughout 2023. Our clients are showing a growing interest in outdoor works of art, especially lit sculptures that act as a focal point in a garden design.

Not only will lit sculptures help create a stunning design but the lighting scheme will give your landscape an entirely new dimension. 

Wellness Sanctuaries

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, more and more people realise how important it is to have an oasis to retreat into. The popularity of mindfulness has boosted this trend, and now many people are looking to create wellness sanctuaries within their back gardens. 

The latest Chelsea Flower Show had a separate category for sanctuary gardens, and we saw everything from outdoor spas to yoga platforms, as well as immersive planting to create wilderness oases. 

Architectural Lines

For urban spaces and commercial gardens, architectural lines will be a key trend in the coming seasons. Hard landscaping provides a backbone for softer elements and using strong architectural lines with naturalistic planting will be an important element of large-scale garden designs next year. 

Patterned Tiles

This is a wonderful trend that comes from the need to blend the outdoors with the indoors. Whether you opt for large symmetrical tiles or smaller, more intricate designs, patterns help to personalise a garden and help inject interest. 

More and more garden designers are using patterned tiles and you’ll see this at the forefront of modern landscaping next year.

Sustainability

Perhaps the most important landscaping trend of 2023 is sustainability. There is a need for landscapes to withstand increasingly harsher climates without the need for over-watering. As a result, you’ll see more drought-tolerant planting as well as the use of sustainable, local materials that minimise the impact on the planet.
