Top Trends of 2019

Spring is the best time to freshen and brighten your living space. It’s called spring cleaning for a reason!  Every year there are new hot styles that are perfect for both the home and garden. Check out the 2019 trends and start your spring plans!
FOR THE HOME:
Vertical gardens – If you have a blank wall space and can’t decide what to put on it, look no further than a vertical garden, inside your home! Ideas include mounting pots to the wall, wooden shelves with potted plants, hanging terrariums, or even repurpose an old ladder and stack a selection of gorgeous plants.
Colored cabinets – White cabinets are out and color is in! Splash a bright coat of blue on your kitchen cabinets and breathe life back into your kitchen. After all, so much time is spent in the kitchen, painting it with a happy color is sure to please the eye.
Minimalist décor – Your mom always said, less is more and now she is right! The minimalist movement has cause more and more people to opt for a “less is more” mentality and a clutter free lifestyle. Exercising restraint with space, objects and lighting leaves you to choose the bare essentials so that you have a few certain objects that deliver joy.
Classic furniture – Perhaps you’re in the market for a new headboard, couch or some new chairs. Upholstered headboards are a sophisticated choice for the bedroom. A couch with a low back is a functional and stylish choice for the living area. And no table would be complete without chairs – try an upholstered look for a simple design.
Geometric patterns – Embrace the perfectly imperfect and asymmetrical shapes. Geometric patterns are a popular choice in many aesthetics and decorations. Be it pillows, area rugs, curtains or wall paper, bold patterns are a top notch choice this year.
Wood – Incorporating the natural look of wood in your home has never been more popular. Possibly reminiscent of log cabins or farmhouses, wood is a great way to add warmth and character into a home. With so many varieties and choices, wood is great for a soothing atmosphere. 
Hunter Green – There is something cozy about hunter green and painting your walls or opting for hunter green home accessories. Sure to create a calming look. There’s no such thing as too much green!
FOR THE GARDEN:
Bold plants  – Want to choose a bold plant that is sure to wow once it blooms? Look no further than dahlias. Known for their brightly colored blooms, dahlias are tuberous rooted Mexican plant of the daisy family. Dahlias bloom from mid-summer to the first frost.
Moon gardening – Just like the moon has an effect on the tides, it also impacts soil moisture. Figuring out when to plant fruits and vegetables successfully can be traced to the moon phase. The moon also affects the best time to harvest.
DIY greenhouse – If you have faith in yourself, you can do it yourself. Building a greenhouse in your backyard can be done by assembling your own kit. Adding your personal customizations ensures you get exactly what you want.  This way you can incorporate greenhouse additions such as an irrigation system, weatherproof flooring and shelves, if you so desire.
Planting with a purpose – Whether you’re trying to find a new hobby, keep up with an old one or help the environment, there can always be a reason behind gardening. It is a great way to get outside and get fresh air and be kind to Mother Nature. 
Insects in the garden– Certain insects, especially bees, are at risk to die off due to the changing of the ecosystem. Just as they are at risk, invasive pests are coming in droves due to lack of natural predators. Gardening defensively is the best way to combat these issues. Arborists can help with assessing damage and planting for the changing climate, ultimately helping with the solution to both problems.
Composting – Food waste takes up a large amount of space in landfills. By composting at home, you can reduce the amount of waste entering in landfills, thus lowering the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the air. Composting is like recycling but with food scraps. Use the compost to help grow your garden with organic matter.
Mint – The color and the herb are both very in for 2019. Planting mint is easy and it takes little care. Mint is great for tea, mojitos and deterring insects. Plant mint around your patios and walkways to keep away the biting insects. Mint is also great for chickens’ immunity, if you have chickens wandering your yard.
