Have you heard of "friluftsliv"? It is a new trend in the field of living, brought to the fore by the coronavirus pandemic and replacing the well-known "hygge".
Friluftsliv is a Danish concept of outdoor living and therefore focuses on outdoor spaces. This year, balconies, terraces and gardens will be more important than ever, because socializing in the past year was limited to the outdoor spaces of our home due to the pandemic. And it seems it will be like this until further notice. To make us feel comfortable there, let's take a look at five trends for decorating the garden and balcony.
1. Wild garden

The trend is moving away from the classic garden towards magical garden. Wild flowers, grasses and trees they are what we need. A garden with insects, roses, hammocks and fairy lights. Colorful flowers andbeautiful bushes they create a harmonious image in such a garden.

For example, for a "beach look" hang plants in macrame hanging baskets. Materials such as bamboo, rattan, jute, as well as glass and wood. Combinations of terracotta, metal, earthenware or ceramics are suitable for Mediterranean design.

Since the evenings can also be cold, they will be fireplaces or fire bowls conjured up warmth and homeliness as well as a feeling of relaxation, harmony and calmness. They are perfect for both gardens and terraces. Under a blanket you can spend a wonderful evening gazing at the stars.
