Introduce native flowers and trees into interiors through patterns and palettes inspired by English country gardens
Botanical motifs are a perennially popular choice for interiors and work best when in harmony with the garden using designs featuring native flowers and plants. From springtime bulbs to summer roses and autumn dahlias, as well as leafy patterns and trees, the world outside provides a perfect mood board of inspiration. Take cues from colour palettes to create a curated look – whether the rosy pinks of blushing blooms or taking a cleaner look through stylised blue interpretations, there are many ways to create a biophilic celebration indoors.
Leafy Greens
Greens are a natural choice for botanical designs and can be layered harmoniously for a calming yet fresh feel. Crisper whites can be used for a touch of contrast, and obviously, natural floral colours will sit well in highlights – pinks, yellows, or even a dash of purple can be a pretty addition. Leafy patterns are the natural choice for green hues, and the soothing nature of green allows for some bolder choices of large-scale patterns and mixing and matching motifs. Combine them with small-scale geometrics or trellis patterns and designs featuring organic leaves, trailing vines, or fruit trees. Larger scale, mural-style papers can help create an immersive garden feel, perfect for a sitting room that opens onto the garden.
