Our garden spaces have become perhaps more important to us than ever over the past year, with more time at home due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and our outdoor spaces offering us a much-needed dose of fresh air as we venture further afield.<\/p>\n
Transforming your garden into an outdoor sanctuary couldn’t be easier, and you might as well have fun doing it. Creating the perfect place to relax and unwind over the coming months, while making sure it’s the perfect setting for a small social gathering, we take a look at some of the top gardening trends for this 2021.<\/p>\n
1.- Bringing indoors<\/strong><\/p>\n The trend of taking our homes outdoors has made our living spaces filled with foliage and a fresh, modern feel, but this season, it’s all about turning it around and bringing a sense of comfortable living space to your outdoor world.<\/p>\n When it comes to creating a luxurious feel, it’s all about combining style with comfort, and investing in a three-piece suite for your garden is the quickest way to achieve the desired effect. <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.0.11″][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.0.11″][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/continuum-lifestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-min-9-scaled.jpg\u00bb title_text=\u00bb01-min\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ custom_margin=\u00bb||0px||false|false\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb text_font_size=\u00bb10px\u00bb text_line_height=\u00bb1.5em\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb5px|||5px|false|false\u00bb] Wicker furniture and with a plethora of designs and colors to choose from that offer a thoroughly modern touch, whatever your garden aesthetic, you’ll find something to suit your needs. Opt for gray or neutral tones to mimic the 2021 trend, or be brave and choose white to add lightness and brightness to your garden.<\/em><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ header_4_text_color=\u00bb#000000″ header_4_font_size=\u00bb15px\u00bb header_5_text_color=\u00bb#474747″ header_5_font_size=\u00bb15px\u00bb] 2.- Split Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n Setting your garden on multiple levels can make any outdoor space feel more multidimensional, each serving its purpose and enhancing the overall aesthetic. 3.- Belgian design<\/strong><\/p>\n We’ve long been inspired by the home and garden of Scandinavia, but this year, it’s Belgium’s turn to take center stage, especially when it comes to nature. It’s often the little things that create the most impressive overall effect, and a few extra touches like these can make all the difference. With a few changes here and there, you’ll add a touch of luxury to your garden.<\/em><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ header_4_text_color=\u00bb#000000″ header_4_font_size=\u00bb15px\u00bb header_5_text_color=\u00bb#474747″ header_5_font_size=\u00bb15px\u00bb] 4.- Patterned gardens<\/strong><\/p>\n Pattern and texture will be key elements of our gardens this year, with the minimalist obsession that has dominated for some years now slowly beginning to fade. 5.- Backyard gardening<\/strong><\/p>\n Self-sufficiency is one of the fastest growing garden trends for 2021 and has been popular for some time now, with more people than ever opting to grow their own organic fruit and vegetables, something that has been further accelerated by the pandemic. <\/p>\n There’s never been a better time to love your garden, and with a few simple tweaks, you can make the most of any outdoor living space with a sleek and sophisticated update for 2021. You’ll love it, your friends and family will love it, and the surrounding wildlife will too.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][et_pb_button button_url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/en\/continuum-trends\/\u00bb button_text=\u00bbReturn to\u00bb button_alignment=\u00bbright\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb custom_button=\u00bbon\u00bb button_text_color=\u00bb#000000″ button_icon=\u00bb%%35%%\u00bb hover_enabled=\u00bb0″ sticky_enabled=\u00bb0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00bb2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb2_5″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][et_pb_blurb title=\u00bbFollow us\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb header_font_size=\u00bb30px\u00bb][\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb3_5″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][et_pb_social_media_follow _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=\u00bbfacebook\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ContinuumLifestylePanama\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb background_color=\u00bb#3b5998″ follow_button=\u00bboff\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb]facebook[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=\u00bblinkedin\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/20106625\/admin\/\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb background_color=\u00bb#007bb6″ follow_button=\u00bboff\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb]linkedin[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=\u00bbpinterest\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.pinterest.es\/Conciergecontinuumlifestyle\/_saved\/\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb background_color=\u00bb#cb2027″ follow_button=\u00bboff\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb]pinterest[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=\u00bbinstagram\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/continuum.lifestyle.pa\/\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb background_color=\u00bb#ea2c59″ follow_button=\u00bboff\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb]instagram[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5039,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[129,131],"tags":[133],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5014"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5014"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5014\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5040,"href":"https:\/\/www.continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5014\/revisions\/5040"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.continuum-lifestyle.com.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
This type of design presents an excellent opportunity to play with materials and shapes, with raised flowerbeds, stepping stones, patios and terraces all having a role to play. It is also an excellent way to maximize space in an urban garden, with areas for entertaining, relaxing, planting a vegetable garden or simply letting nature do its thing.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/continuum-lifestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/02-min-7-scaled.jpg\u00bb title_text=\u00bb02-min\u00bb align=\u00bbcenter\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ custom_margin=\u00bb||0px||false|false\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb text_font_size=\u00bb10px\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb|||5px|false|false\u00bb][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ header_4_text_color=\u00bb#000000″ header_4_font_size=\u00bb15px\u00bb header_5_text_color=\u00bb#474747″ header_5_font_size=\u00bb15px\u00bb]
Belgium is quickly making a name for itself among landscape garden designers thanks to its high-quality, high-end garden products.

Today’s gardens are putting wildlife back in the spotlight, with designs based on habitats suitable for them to breed, feed and pollinate. We will begin to see softer transitions between hard landscaped areas and softer planting areas to create a smoother flow throughout the space, and ceramic tiles will return in an attempt to add color and life to your garden.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/continuum-lifestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/04-min-5-scaled.jpg\u00bb title_text=\u00bb04-min\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ custom_margin=\u00bb||0px||false|false\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb text_font_size=\u00bb10px\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb|||5px|false|false\u00bb][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ header_4_text_color=\u00bb#000000″ header_4_font_size=\u00bb15px\u00bb header_5_text_color=\u00bb#474747″ header_5_font_size=\u00bb15px\u00bb]
The number of Brits moving towards a plant-based lifestyle has increased by 360 percent over the last decade, combined with rising food prices and a desire to reduce food miles and carbon footprint, and there’s no time like the present to start. This year, we can expect to see an increase in vegetables, salads and herbs that are easy to grow in small spaces, such as wall pots and patio containers, so if you’ve always loved playing farmer, then it’s a great place to start.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/continuum-lifestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/05-min-5-scaled.jpg\u00bb title_text=\u00bb05-min\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ custom_margin=\u00bb||0px||false|false\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.4″ header_4_text_color=\u00bb#000000″ header_4_font_size=\u00bb15px\u00bb header_5_text_color=\u00bb#474747″ header_5_font_size=\u00bb15px\u00bb]
