Botanical Interiors

Floral interiors have always been popular due to their simple elegance and versatility. From period style ornate carvings to bold abstract print rugs and cushions this interior style has created a visual impact that is striking yet refined. This season BOTANICAL interior design has taken our homes by storm, with distinctive looks that range from English garden femininity to fun and funky tropical glamour.

Tranquil and elegant pastel tones and soft creams and beige will create a delicate botanical ambiance that is simple yet stylish. A simple vine or rose print wallpaper will accentuate the refined beauty of the colour palette as well as soft satin and crisp cotton fabrics that will create a bright and illuminating finish in your chosen room. Opt for cushions that feature simple rose, peony and poppy print patterns and display large floral arrangements on your tables, mantelpieces and windowsills for a classic and traditional design.

If you wish to channel some upbeat summer style this season then a tropical interior design is the perfect choice for your home. The bold patterns and prints and rich botanical colour tones will transform your home into a laid back, holiday inspired setting. This look is all about palm and banana leaf print in lush green colour tones that work well with crisp white for a fresh and bright interior ambiance. Use this staple pattern on your wallpaper, curtains, cushions or bedding and accent with pops of coral, turquoise, yellow and lime for a bold and vibrant visual finish.

If the weather outside has not been favourable then there is no need to miss out on the enjoyment of an elegant garden setting. You can bring the outdoors, indoors by showcasing the beauty and serenity of a quintessential British garden inside your home interior. Select a botanical colour scheme of green, lilac, peach, blue and red and combine with refined floral prints that feature delicate daisies, wildflowers, hydrangea and lavender that will create a visual focal point on your walls, floors and soft furnishings.

Indoor plants are a key way to add to the visual elegance and natural beauty of botanical interior design. Tropical plants are a great choice for this look as they enjoy the warm and humid climates of indoor spaces and their lush greenery will compliment the fresh and floral backdrop of your chosen room. Large palms and banana plants will look great in a large rattan pot in the corner of the room or nestled beside a table, bed or seating area. Umbrella plants also work well in interior spaces as well as orchids, succulents, cacti and anthurium for a splash of uplifting colour.

To provide some variation to the floral patterns of a botanical interior add some wildlife inspired decor that will compliment the chosen style of your room. Birds are a popular partner to nature inspired homes and look wonderful across a wide variety of artwork, accessories and furnishings. Tropical interiors can be accompanied by parrot or flamingo print cushions that are widely available on the high street this summer. Garden inspired homes can be finished with classic imagery of British birds such as blue tits, finch and sparrows for a refined and traditional look that works well on wall art, upholstery and wallpaper.
