What is modern garden style?
Modern or contemporary garden design is characterized by a sleek appearance, strong clean lines, and minimalist plantings, achieving a harmonic balance between natural and manmade elements. To make your garden look posh, focus on planting – adding as many plants as possible in layered schemes for a lush, expensive look.
What are the garden trends for 2026?
Trends in colour come and go, but 2026 brings a gentle return to natural, moody tones inspired by the British landscape itself. Expect soft creams and greens, dusky mauves, coppery oranges and deep plums, with pops of brighter colour from tulips or dahlias for contrast. The colour trends for 2026 combine calmness and energy, a connection to nature and innovation. According to predictions by Pantone and WGSN/Coloro, earthy, natural tones such as Sage Green, Angora and Cocoa Powder will dominate, as will fresh, clear green tones that convey balance and authenticity.
