The latest trends for your outdoor space in Mallorca are balm for the soul. After the last year, we appreciate our outdoor areas much more. A well-kept garden, a spacious terrace, the lovingly designed inner courtyard (patio) or the pretty balcony are real oases. Especially now in spring, there is a lot of activity in the garden centres and construction markets. Everyone is keen not only to make the house or flat cosy inside, but also to create an oasis of well-being outside.
Outdoor living is an essential feature of the Mediterranean regions. Here, people already enjoy breakfast on the terrace. Lunch on the balcony. A delicious homemade lemonade or sangria on the pool terrace or barbecuing with friends in the garden.
Love to nature
The focus is on natural gardens with bee-friendly plants. A natural flower meadow, herb beds and fruit trees in the garden, underline the trend towards self-sufficiency and the tendency to create a balance in the ecosystem. On balconies and terraces, too, you can find more and more raised beds for growing your own vegetables.
Classics such as lavender, oleander, bougainvillea and geraniums provide a pleasant fragrance and bring colour to the scene. But palm trees, olive trees, cacti and succulents are also a must in the outdoor area on Mallorca. Whether a water feature on the balcony, a spring stone, a fountain, a garden pond or the natural pool – the melody of fresh, flowing water ensures relaxation and serenity.
Garden fences and trellises with climbing plants turn balconies and patios into green oases. Being in nature releases happiness hormones and creates a good mood and contentment.
Modern sun protection
As an alternative to the usual sunshades and awnings, more and more sun sails are being used, which emphasise the airy atmosphere, provide partial shade and move along in the light summer breeze.
Decoration and textiles for outdoor areas
When it comes to decorative elements or plant pots, attention is paid to a simple and timeless design. Simple but elegant! Textiles such as cosy blankets and cushions create the feel-good factor and set accents. Particularly discreet colours such as beige and earth tones are used, as these can be perfectly combined with the trendy furniture pieces. Colourful cushions in fresh colours such as blue, yellow and green create a cheerful mood. Outdoor carpets also create additional atmosphere.
Comfortable and sustainable
The big trend in sofas and tables is teak wood. As more and more attention is paid to sustainability in furniture as well, plantation teak turns out to be a smart choice. Weather resistance also plays a big role, especially on Mallorca. Rattan continues to be popular. It is versatile, durable and conveys a certain holiday atmosphere.
Statement pieces are coming back into fashion: woven macramé hanging chairs or stylish lounge chairs.
Let there be light
Natural materials can also be found in lamps: woven or even homemade with wooden elements, thick ropes and striking light bulbs. Fairy lights and romantic lanterns are used. Indirect lighting should not be missing either, as well as candles, which provide a cosy and atmospheric ambience.
We hope you have fun designing your individual outdoor areas!
