Garden Trend 2026 - Nostalgic Bloom Revival

This garden trend embraces the nostalgic charm of a garden that comes to life in a lush display of flowers. Inspired by the elegance of the cottage style, this trend combines handcrafted details with soft pastels, fresh color accents, and a touch of romance. The result? An atmospheric, enchanting garden where past and present come together.

A touch of nostalgia in the garden

The cottage style is back, but now with a modern twist. Think pastel colors, handmade details, florals, and gingham patterns. This style gives your garden a cheerful, rustic look reminiscent of the simple life of earlier times. 

Flower bulbs: the perfect addition to your garden

Spring-flowering bulbs are a perfect fit for this trend. Think tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and crocuses. But there are so many more delightful spring bulbs that not only add color to your garden but also beautifully complement the nostalgic and romantic atmosphere. 

Materials and patterns

The materials are often handmade and carefully chosen. Think ceramics, antique glass, wood, cotton, and wickerwork. The patterns are often florals, stripes, or checks, reminiscent of grandmother’s kitchen.

Color and form

The colors are mainly pastels, interspersed with a few bright accents. The shapes are often nostalgic and artisanal, such as old bowls, dishes, or jugs. Garden furniture, too, often carries a vintage look.
