This garden trend embraces the nostalgic charm of a garden brought to life in a lush floral display. Inspired by the elegance of the cottage style, this trend combines traditional details with soft pastel shades, fresh colour accents and a touch of romance. The result? An attractive, enchanting garden that blends past and present.
A touch of nostalgia in the garden
The cottage style is back but with a modern twist. Think pastels, handmade details, florals and checks. Give your garden a cheerful, rustic look that hearkens back to a simpler time.
Flower bulbs: the perfect addition to your garden
Summer-flowering bulbs such as dahlias, gladioli, lilies, begonias and cannas are perfect for this trend. But there are also many other lovely summer bulbs that add colour to your garden and go well with the nostalgic, romantic vibe.
Materials and designs
The materials are often handmade and chosen with care. Think ceramics, old glass, wood, cotton and wicker. Patterns include florals, stripes or checks, just like those we remember from grandmother’s kitchen.
Colour and shape
The colours are mainly pastels interspersed with a few bright accents. The shapes are often nostalgic and traditional, such as old dishes, bowls or jugs. Garden furniture also often has a vintage look.
