Several people have joined the practice that really calms down and is good for the soul and, of course, for the planet. And like everything that is good for us to practice, Eu Sem Fronteiras wants to encourage you to do gardening.
And don't think that, for that, you need to have a large backyard at home, with plenty of green space and space to make fancy arrangements. On the contrary! Of course, the more space you have, the more you can use it to make your home even more beautiful. However, even small spaces can have an extra charm with a little color, don't you think?
Therefore, below, you will find the main gardening trends in 2017. Put them into practice, have a modern garden and a happier life!
Trend #1: Color Block Garden
The color block has already been seen in clothing and accessories. Now, it's time for flowers to live this trend, which, in short, is nothing more than making blocks of strong colors next to each other (or close together). The effect is really beautiful!
You can achieve this effect with whatever flowers you want, the important thing is the volume they have and, consequently, the impression they make: the greater the number of flowers and the smaller the space between them, the better, to create the illusion. of a complete block. It looks beautiful!
Trend #2: Vertical Garden
The vertical garden continues with everything and the cool thing about this trend is that you don't even need to have a space that is actually dedicated to a garden to be able to have this type of composition in your own home.
The vertical garden consists of small vases of flowers or plants hanging on a wall, forming organized lines and columns from one end of the available space to the other.
Trend #3: Vegetable garden at home
Organics are in (thankfully)! The days of buying spices at the market or at the street vendor are numbered. Now, what's hot (both for fashion and for your health) is growing your favorite herbs in your own home.
Mint, oregano, thyme, fennel, bay leaf and whatever else you want. Anything goes! Depending on the size of the space you have made available for this endeavor, you can even have vegetables and fruits, such as lettuce and arugula, tomato and lemon, for example! Have you ever thought how delicious it is to grab everything from scratch, always fresh, for your gastronomic adventures in the kitchen?
Trend #4: Lawn
Grass is in – yes, the simple and beautiful green grass that we already know is what's in vogue. And the best thing about this trend is that it doesn't require much maintenance care! And it looks really beautiful, doesn't it?
Trend #5: Indoor plants
If you don't want to have a garden, how about bringing a little bit of nature to the other environments of your home? Having plants scattered around the house is on the rise and is a charm – not to mention that it is good for your health!
And it's worth any environment, see? Whether in the kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom or entrance hall, the important thing is to have plenty of green and colorful flowers! Just pay attention to the care that each plant needs to choose the best option for each environment.
After all, it's no use choosing a plant that needs a lot of sun to put inside the bathroom, right?
Trend #6: Garden decor
In addition to the trends that involve plants themselves, there are also trends that involve the decoration of these spaces dedicated to gardening. Rustic chic is on the rise, as is minimalism.
Another trend that is part of this group of decoration of outdoor environments is to use pieces that stimulate the commercialization of items made by small producers. After all, the times of crisis are not over yet!
So, you know that friend who messes with clay? How about ordering some very beautiful and original vases with her? Handmade pillows, crochet vase covers, among so many other options!
For a greener, more natural and more organic world!
