The new range of garden watering accessories from Nylex blends design and performance
Iconic Aussie brand, Nylex, has launched a new watering accessories range designed to elevate the look of outdoor spaces while offering easy and efficient water usage. With an understanding of current home and landscaping trends, the collection has been created for the style conscious homeowner, transforming necessary watering equipment into a feature they’d want to show.
Architecturally-inspired, the new Nylex range consists of watering essentials including hoses, hose reels and hose carts. Stylish features such as a sophisticated monochromatic palette with contrasting textures and bold streamlined forms, are a significant move away from the bright colours traditionally seen in garden watering accessories.
“For a long time, garden watering products have been purely function-driven, with equipment traditionally hidden away. We’re now seeing a shift towards more visually appealing designs and the new range responds by combining quality performance with a look that homeowners are proud to have on display,” says Paul English, Senior Industrial Designer at Nylex.
“When designing the range, our aim was to approach these products in the way an architect approaches a building,” says English. “We started with simple geometric forms shaped by function, then used colour, texture and material to bring them to life. By stripping back unnecessary details and focusing on the core features, we’ve created a collection that is both elegant and practical.”
Inge Jabara, horticulture and landscaping expert, says this shift reflects how Australians are living and gardening today. “Increasingly, gardens are becoming an extension of the home and we’re seeing more focus on cohesive outdoor spaces, which extends from the landscaping right down to gardening tools and equipment.”
“For spring/summer 2026 it’s all about functional items that will complement rather than detract from the overall garden aesthetic,” she says. Depending on the style of your home and outdoor space, we’re seeing fences and garden features in darker moody colours, as well as fresh lighter hues, so to have a range that blends effortlessly into these tones provides a more cohesive look. The new Nylex Retracting Auto Reel with its organic modern casing in either matte black or alpine grey, looks perfectly at home in the garden, on the fence, or attached to a nearby wall.”
The right equipment also makes it easier to maintain essential watering over the warmer months. According to Inge, “If the hose has a home within the garden space and is in easy reach, watering will be much more practical and enjoyable, especially as we head into spring and summer when watering becomes a priority.” When selecting watering accessories look for well designed ergonomic, quality products, which are comfortable to use and longer lasting. Your hose should last for years, a retractable hose system needs to be well functioning to make cleaning up after gardening easy, and if using a hose cart make sure it can easily be wheeled up and popped behind some greenery ready for the next use.”
