LANDSCAPE TREND #3: PERGOLAS A staple of landscape design for years, pergolas constructed of wood or com- posite material are now becoming more sophisticated. In fact, today they come with major upgrades, including rolldown windows, space heaters, lighting and sound systems. When paired with a luxury kitchen, seating area or fire feature, pergolas can become the iconic structure for outdoor sanctuaries.
LANDSCAPE TREND #5: MEZMERIZING METALS Whether homeowners want a bold statement or whimsical touch, in- corporating metals can bring new dimensions to landscape design. Used for decorative art, water features or furniture and accessories, creative uses of metals including steel and iron can make for lovely accents or focal points.
LANDSCAPE TREND #4: PRETTY IN PINK Pops of coral and blush are anticipated to add more feminine touches to land- scapes this year. With Living Coral named the Color of the Year by Pantone, a leading provider of color systems and an influencer on interior and exterior design, landscape professionals predict that this rich shade of pink could bring fresh blooms of roses, petunias, zinnias and hibiscus to flower beds. Experts also anticipate light blush tones to become “the new neutral” and another option for hardscapes and stone selections.
