Whether you have a few acres, a small deck or anything in between, the new year brings new possibilities. It’s an opportunity to have a fresh start for your outdoor space.

1. The Pantone Color of the Year 2025: “Mocha Mousse”

 

Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2025, Mocha Mousse is described as a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the inviting qualities of chocolate and coffee. It’s earthiness has a natural beauty. A muted, tone that is perfect for a garden as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

 

 

 

 

 

• Plant Selection: Consider adding plants with deep hues that complement Mocha Mousse. Rich pinks, burgundy, or soft mauve. Plant varieties like roses, lavender, and clematis. Their gentle blooms, can match the warmth of this shade, while also attracting bees and butterflies, for garden biodiversity.
• Textiles and Accents: Incorporate soft, luxurious fabrics in shades of brown, taupe and deep red into your outdoor furniture. The Solus fire pits and water features come in twelve colours to match any design and the Shiitake, Truffle and Nutmeg options will set off  this scheme perfectly. Cushions, throws, and outdoor rugs in this tone create a cozy atmosphere when paired with natural materials such as wicker or wood.

• Planters & Pots: Add Mocha Mousse accents through outdoor planters, pots, or even painted garden furniture. The gentle warmth of the color will blend well with natural stone or wooden finishes.

2. Dulux Color of the Year 2025: Purple Basil

Purple Basil is a warm, fresh color that brings calming energy to any space. It radiates warmth and is lovely with neutral accessories. It is a great choice for brightening your garden while maintaining an organic, rustic feel.

Here’s how you can introduce this bold shade into your outdoor oasis:

• Outdoor Furniture: Go for garden furniture in neutral tones, complemented by Purple Basil accents. Pieces in light woods or natural stone pair wonderfully with this rich color, creating a harmonious balance between vibrant and muted elements. A modern fire pit in these tones can also create a beautiful focal point in your garden. The Solus Hardwood table top for the Hemi or Halo fire pits would also be an ideal choice. It turns these fire features into a table and will fade over time to a lovely muted tone.

• Garden Walls or Fences: To make a bold statement, consider painting garden walls, fences, or raised beds in Purple Basil. The warm tone will create a striking backdrop for your plants, highlighting the greens and florals in your garden.
• Lighting & Accessories: Pair the cosy ambience of Purple Basil with soft lighting to enhance its blue and red undertones. Adding string lights or lanterns will boost the color’s warmth, especially in the evening, turning your garden into a retreat for gatherings and relaxation. A Solus fire pit, when lit, will also enhance this vibe and become a beautiful focal point in the evening and into the night.

Sustainable Garden Design

Sustainability continues to be a growing priority in new garden design, and 2025 is no exception. Embracing eco-friendly practices not only makes your garden more sustainable but also ensures it thrives for years to come. Here are some simple yet effective ways to make your garden greener and more sustainable this year:

• Rainwater Harvesting: Installing a water butt can help you collect rainwater for use in your garden. This reduces your reliance on mains water.
• Composting: Start a compost heap to recycle kitchen waste and garden clippings. Compost will provide rich, organic matter that your plants will love.
• Native Plants: Incorporating native plants ensures that your garden is low-maintenance and supports local wildlife. These plants are better suited to the local climate and require less water.

Solus Decor’s fire pits and water features are built with sustainability in mind. Many of our fire pits have a bioethanol fuel option, which burns cleaner than traditional wood, creating less smoke. Durable materials used in the designs also ensure longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Bring Your Vision to Life

The new year is the perfect time to bring your new garden design ideas to life. It is a good time to place orders ready for Spring delivery. Take advantage of new year sales and get a garden designer or landscaper on board. Whether you want a retreat, an entertaining space, or an edible garden, there’s no limit to what you can do. With the addition of Solus Decor firepits and water features, you can elevate the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space, all while incorporating the latest color trends.
