The pandemic led many homeowners to reassess their living lifestyle based on the quality of the air we breathe, our health, and how impactful our living is to the environment, hence the rise of the following trends.
Spoiler alert, these growing trends are stylish, too, and they add to the beauty of your home and living environment. So, if you’re on the fence about them, it’s time to reconsider.
Here are the top 5:
- A Shift to Native planting as an eco-friendly practice
Invasive species have a lot more harm than good. From soil life, insect population, waterways, and even the native plant life, invasive plants cause a lot of disruptions.
Native plants, on the other hand, thrive and use what is available without taking too much.
Even if you can’t radicalize your entire neighborhood to embrace the shift, you can start home, change your green space, and see the encouragement it would spur on others sooner rather than later.
- Gardening edibles
Vegetable gardens, from growing herbs, fruits, and even edible flowers, is a trend that is quickly thriving among many homeowners during the pandemic and now. This is sweet labor since you get to feed on your effort.
- Simple-low maintenance landscaping
Landscaping doesn’t have to be all green to be beautiful. A little mix of less lawn incorporated with hardscape features is beautiful, and many people are embracing it right now because it is less labor-intensive.
Plus, it gives you the ability to incorporate more features into your yard.
- Outdoor living
More families spent more time at home in 2020 and 2021, which created a shift to outdoor living. And the front and backyards are being turned into additional living spaces by introducing outdoor kitchens, screened-in porches, sunrooms, and more outdoor living structures.
- Privacy
With the creation of outdoor living spaces comes privacy. No one wants a neighbor peeping through when you’re taking your restful evening in your backyard or having family time.
However, you also don’t want to appear tacky. To help with that, you can borrow the concept of vertical gardening, low-maintenance bush fences, or even a gazebo to create that separation and privacy.
You also get to enhance your property’s aesthetic by doing so.
