So what are the trends for 2009? I'm starting to plan otu my hideous concrete yrad, to transform it into an outdoor terrace area, and all teh web sites I've googled look EXACTLY the same - bare, rendered walls, bamboos EVERYWHERE, and decking. It's boring, and bare. I'm over minimalism, so what are the new trends for 2009? What's the New Bamboo - it's like 1970s pampas grass (which seems to havemade a bit of a style comeback), what's the new trendy replacement?? Grasses?
