If the forecasts for 2023 come true, the patios will have elements of japanese, Mediterranean, even tropical influence, and the planters will be filled with purple flowers. The balconies will also be in the spotlight. So here are the top three trends for the upcoming season…
1- Purple everywhere
In terms of colors, purple is definitely the winner. From the pale mauve of lavender in pots to the dark mauve of bougainvillea plant in window boxes, all the variations will be present in the flower pots this year. Even the morning glory should have its moment of triumph! And by the time summer arrives, the most impatient will be happy to have a bouquet of lily or tulips in the house while waiting to go out on their balcony!

2- Railing planters
In terms of space, all will be arranged to make the most of this summer, even the smallest of balconies! To do this, balcony planters – also called railing planters -, hanging planters and small decorative flower pots will be favored.
Privacy screens will also be appreciated to hide heat pumps or when the neighbors are a little too close. In this category, plant trellises are the most popular. In addition to being decorative, green privacy screens will create a natural-looking partition that will be as good as any other option. In this case, however, opt for a trellis design that is treated to resist fading often caused by UV rays.
3- The exoticism of Japanese and Mediterranean gardens
When it comes to style, people will definitely fulfill their need to get away from it all by adopting some aspects of the Japandi and Mediterranean styles. In either case, raw materials such as wood, terracotta, stone and concrete will be used in the choice of furniture, outdoor planters and even decorative Buddha sculptures, why not!
Grasses, herbs and dracaenas, as well as shrubs such as cedars and boxwood topiaries will be popular. Even agaves and yuccas will charm those who dream of a warm getaway! When it comes to flowers, white will definitely dominate in these types of landscaping for the terrace. For its classic look, the geranium is still a favorite.
Finally, in terms of decorative accessories, solar lights in the form of lanterns will be our best allies for those long evenings.
And the palm trees in all this?
Outdoor palms, whether artificial or natural, are consistently among the best sellers despite not being a part of the season’s new trends for 2023. Let’s bet that the Phoenix and Areca palms will still be widely popular this summer and that it won’t be an exception!
