As most people will be undertaking this makeover to make the space appealing, it is important to understand which materials and looks work, which don’t, and how using the space effectively can create a contemporary wonderland. So, here are five key ways to give your garden a modern vibe in 2025. Enjoy!
Pool Fencing
What better way to add a modern garden theme than sleek frameless pool fence designs?
These are typically made from tempered glass and offer you the ability to choose from an array of different style options. You can choose pool fencing with uniform holes, polka dots, or class fencing that has been tinted, to match a color theme in your garden. Just make sure you have it professionally installed, as this will ensure that it lasts a long time and is fitted correctly.
Wildflower Gardens
Many people associate wildflower gardens with rural spaces, but, oddly enough, they are becoming a feature of many modern gardens. Why? They boast sustainability and are pollinator-friendly plants, both of which are important to many people when it comes to creating an outdoor space. You can opt for uniform wildflowers, such as cornflowers, poppies, borage, or even salvia. Or, why not sprinkle the wildflower seeds in a large planter and see what pops up?
Outdoor Room
Outdoor rooms are looking to be popular in 2025, so if you know a carpenter or a builder, now is the time to book them to start building.
Think of an outhouse, but rather than a small house, it is a large room, usually with a coffee or tea station, a sink, a desk, and a spot for lounging. An outdoor room is ideal for longer, thinner gardens, as it creates a space at the end of the garden, which is away from the main house. They are often wooden framed and, just to prevent overheating come summer it is best to place them under a tree or in a shady spot.
Smooth Hardscaping
Hardscaping is usually composed of hard, unnatural elements in a garden, such as rough stone, brick, and metal. So, smooth hardscaping is items made from stone, brick, and metal but, as the name suggests, they are polished and smooth, usually to create a uniform appearance. This can be used as part of a garden wall, a sculpture, or even as part of the aforementioned outdoor room. This will create a consistent and cohesive look, which will add a touch of the modern to your garden.
Lighting
Last, but not least, you need to brighten up your garden space with lights. You can try fairy lights, or string lights, but, why not opt for solar-powered lighting, which is eco-friendly and comes in multiple different designs and colors? This will make your garden more accessible come evening and will also be a great way to highlight key features in your outdoor space.
