As spring is here people are looking to give their garden a refresh or maybe even a total makeover. Moda Furnishings has put together their 2022 Garden Trend Report showing all the most popular garden trends!
2022 Garden Trend Report
As warm weather hits the UK people are beginning to plant their flowers for the Spring and Summer seasons. Moda analysed search patterns to discover what flowers people were most interested in as spring approaches. Violets came out on top with over 659,000 searches and tulips were not far behind in second with 558,100 searches. View the full list here:
| Flower | Searches |
| Violets | 659,000 |
| Tulips | 558,100 |
| Ammaryllis | 442,900 |
| Daffodils | 373,100 |
| Hyacinth | 286,600 |

| Forget Me Nots | 194,200 |
| Ranunculus | 186,900 |
| Pansies | 175,800 |

The study analysed Pinterest data and was able to find the number of pins used for each key term to determine which ones people were getting the most excited about. The winner was in fact “Colourful gardens” with almost 1.5 million pins in users’ inspiration boards, showing that people are wanting a splash of colour in their garden as we move closer to the warmer and longer days. Coming in a very close second is “Natural gardens” with 1.3 million pins, which shows that people are taking inspiration from the current climate to create more natural-looking spaces. See the full list below:
| THEME NAME | PINS |
| Colourful Garden | 1,435,672 |
| Natural Garden | 1,340,090 |
| Entertaining Garden | 1,034,231 |

| Wild Garden | 448,540 |
| White Garden | 256,788 |
| Balcony Garden | 132,475 |

Moda also looked at what colours seem to be trending this year when searching for garden furniture, flowers and accents. The most popular colours people were incorporating into their gardens are natural colours like greens, nudes, whites and greys or pastels, blues, purples and surprisingly yellow.
With the warmer weather and longer days on the horizon people might be looking for some furniture to kit out their garden or balcony, but the big question is what type of furniture are people looking at this year? Rattan garden furniture took the top of the list with almost 9.1X as many searches as the second place, wooden furniture. I think it is safe to assume rattan furniture reigns supreme this year. See below for the full list!
| TYPE OF FURNITURE | SEARCHES |
| Rattan | 301,000 |
| Wooden | 33,100 |
| Aluminum | 14,800 |
| Metal | 12,00 |
| Teak | 9,900 |
| Wicker | 6,600 |
| Plastic | 5,400 |
| Iron | 3,600 |
| Bamboo | 2,900 |
| Recycled Materials | 1,100 |
As we all know trends come and go so sometimes the best way to spruce up your garden is with an accent piece.
