Hot tub trends for 2022
In the last few years, there’s been a noticeable shift towards a work-life balance in favour of spending more time at home, so it’s no surprise that garden hot tubs have surged in popularity. Hot tubs offer a sanctuary – a place to unwind, whether you’re alone or you’re entertaining friends and family. In this blog, we look at 2022’s trending hot tubs and accessories, and take a look at where to find the best hot tub deals.
Trending hot tubs – updated for 2022
This year expect to see more cohesive living spaces as homeowners attempt to blur the lines between inside and out. Here we count down the top three design trends.
- Natural materials
Wood, brick, stone, and other natural materials are all set to be big in garden renovation, this year. Hot tubs are expected to follow this design trend, and we predict that wooden cabinets and soft surrounds in neutral colours will be popular in 2022.
If you’re looking for something that blends seamlessly with its environment, then stick to colours like tan, beige, brown, taupe, cream, and grey.
At Hot Tubs & Living, we stock a range of innovative portable hot tubs, known as ‘Softubs’, that come with a choice of Leathertex (or Syntex) surrounds. From almond to Caribbean green and metallic blue, there is a colour to suit every garden.
- Garden ‘zoning’
You’re probably used to creating zones in open-plan spaces indoors, and this trend is increasingly becoming a part of designing outdoor living areas too. It’s popular now to have garden zones dedicated to eating, entertaining, and play equipment for the kids.
Installing a hot tub canopy is a great way of sectioning off an area of the garden dedicated to relaxation – away from the waft of the BBQ and the kids’ trampoline!
Hot tub gazebos are a practical way of keeping you dry when it’s raining and protecting you from the sun’s rays at the height of summer. With the right design you can create your own private sanctuary complete with lights, heaters, and even your own bar.
The Stillington is our top-selling gazebo, popular for its versatility. Made from western red cedar, this hexagonal gazebo comes with a raft of optional extras, including:
- solid wall in-fills or screens for privacy
- heating
- LED lights
- weather-proof fabric window blinds
- side bar with stools
- skylight
All our hot tub gazebos are made-to-order to suit your exact requirements.
- Bringing the inside out
Making your outdoor space feel like an extension of your indoor living area is key to nailing this year’s garden trends. When it comes to your hot tub, it’s all about having the right accessories that make your outdoor space a regularly used part of the house.
Just some of the hot tub accessories popular with our customers, include:
- drinks trays
- floating games board
- aromatherapy elixirs and crystals
- LED lights
- inflatable spa bar
These hot tub accessories are designed to make using your spa fun, but others have a more practical side to them – a lid stand, a cover lift, steps and a handrail, for example.

Hot tub trends – the key takeaway
More people than ever are choosing to spend time outdoors by extending their living space outside and creating an inside-out feel that matches their interior design. Natural materials, neutral colours, and outdoor accessories are set to be big this year, and when it comes to hot tubs that means making sure it blends seamlessly with its environment.
The key takeaway in garden design for 2022 is ‘zoning’, and we expect hot tub gazebos to rocket in popularity this year as more people look to create their own private sanctuary – a great place to relax and unwind after a hard day’s work.
