2022 Art Trend: Zen Garden

With another year of uncertainties ahead of us, we’re constantly craving outlets to help us stay relaxed and calm. So it may not be surprising that we predict garden decor with zen vibes will be sprouting up everywhere. Thanks to its peaceful presence and calming themes, this Asian-inspired style can allow us to feel more emotionally secure and stable. To help you embrace the Zen Garden trend, we curated a collection of art showcasing the many ways you can add this style to your space.

According to Decorilla, the main three characteristics of this tranquil trend are “light wood, clean lines, and floating surfaces”. This weightless minimalism creates a soothing aesthetic that helps us unwind after a long day. Natural and organic features, tied in with a “less-is-more” approach, protect your home from feeling cluttered and overwhelming. Incorporating this in a personal space can help reduce stress, making us feel more mindful and reflective.

Our trend prediction focuses more specifically on the most common elements of a zen garden: rocks, water, plants, lanterns, mountains, and bridges. Each component in this Japanese setting captures “the philosophy of making a peaceful way” and aligns with traditional Buddhist concepts. Art focusing on such simple elements can add meditative vibes to your space, helping to create a more soothing and gentle atmosphere.

Whether you want to embark on a spiritual journey with Buddha, admire the simplicity of stacked stones, or invoke introspective thoughts with surreal landscapes, our Zen Garden art curation offers a variety of ways to add a relaxing dose of nature to your day. From the calming energy of delicate lotus flowers to the inspirational vibes of colorful koi fish, keep scrolling to discover which piece of the garden speaks to you.
