Autumn has started again, and that means it's time to get our gardens ready for autumn again. But this autumn is not just about raking leaves and putting away the barbecue; it's about embracing nature, tranquillity and wellness. This year's garden trends bring warmth, comfort and, above all, relaxation, even as the days get shorter and colder. One of the most striking trends? The SunnyTent dome with a hot tub, bringing a luxurious wellness experience to your own backyard.
1. Warm autumn colours: Create a cosy atmosphere
Autumn colours are central to the garden trends of 2024. Warm, deep colours such as rust brown, dark red, and golden yellow create a cosy and inviting atmosphere in the garden. Plants like Japanese maple and ornamental grasses do great during this period and bring beautiful shades to the landscape. Consider adding pots and decorations in earthy colours, such as terracotta and dark wood, to complete the autumn feel.

2. Outdoor lighting: Atmospheric and functional
The days are getting shorter, but that doesn't mean you can't spend your evenings outside. This year, it's all about the right outdoor lighting. Ornate lanterns, light strings and atmospheric fire pits turn your garden into a place you can enjoy even at night.

3. Wellness in the garden: The SunnyTent dome with hot tub
One of the most unusual garden trends of 2024 is the rise of wellness in your own garden. While the SunnyTent dome originally became popular as an enclosure for swimming pools, we now increasingly see people installing a hot tub under the dome. This trend combines the best of both worlds: the protection and warmth of the dome and the ultimate relaxation moment of a spa.
The SunnyTent dome allows you to enjoy your hot tub all year round, even in the cold autumn weather. The dome keeps the heat in and protects against wind and rain, allowing you to relax in peace and privacy. It gives a luxurious, spa-like atmosphere to your garden without having to go to a wellness resort. And the best part? The dome is easy to set up and take down, giving you flexibility to adapt to the seasons.
4. Covered lounge areas: Comfortable outdoor living
Another striking trend is the creation of covered lounge areas, where you can sit outside even in autumn. Think of a cosy corner under a pergola or a small arbour, dressed up with warm blankets and soft cushions. Add a fire basket or patio heater and you have the perfect place to enjoy a hot cup of tea while breathing in the fresh autumn air.

5. Autumn vegetable garden: Vegetables and herbs for the cold months
The vegetable garden remains popular even in the colder months. Many people choose to grow autumn vegetables such as kale, Brussels sprouts and winter leeks. These are not only healthy, but also delicious in stews and soups. In addition, herbs such as thyme, rosemary and sage can still grow well in autumn, so you always have fresh ingredients within reach.
Enjoy your own garden all year round
The autumn 2024 garden trends bring luxury, comfort and nature together in a stylish whole. Whether you opt for warm autumn colours, atmospheric lighting or a relaxing hot tub under a SunnyTent dome, it's all about enjoying your garden - even when temperatures drop. So grab a warm blanket, light the fire pit, and enjoy the serenity and comfort these autumn trends have to offer.
