Summer is approaching and with it comes the opportunity to revitalise our outdoor spaces. This season, trends are focused on creating environments that are not only aesthetically appealing, but also functional and connected to nature. Below, we explore the main trends that will set the tone for the outdoors this summer.
The Extension of the Home: Gardens and Terraces as New Multifunctional Spaces
The way we use our outdoor spaces has evolved significantly. They are no longer just places to enjoy after work or on weekends. Now, gardens, terraces, patios and balconies have become extensions of the home that host events, leisure activities, work environments and sanctuaries for relaxation. This summer, the trend is to integrate these outdoor spaces as functional and welcoming areas where we can spend much of our time.
Biophilia: Connecting with Nature
Biophilia, which literally means ‘love of life’, is a concept that emphasises the importance of contact with nature for human well-being. In exterior design, this translates into the incorporation of natural elements that facilitate this connection. Filling spaces with plants, blurring the boundaries between the inside and outside of the house and garden, and creating outdoor areas are some of the ways in which we can integrate biophilia into our designs. This trend not only enhances the aesthetic environment, but also contributes to our emotional and physical well-being.
Organic Shades: The Summer Colour Palette
In terms of colour, this summer will see a predominance of natural and organic tones. Desaturated palettes, with hues that reference earthy elements, will be very popular. Golden colour combinations will be all the rage.
At Baldocer, we offer a wide range of coverings that are ideal for exteriors, combining durability and style. This summer, the choice of materials will be crucial to create spaces that are not only beautiful, but also functional and resistant.
