Meadow Inspired Interiors

The summer season is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. Whether you enjoy long and leisurely strolls through the countryside, challenging hikes and treks or a simple family picnic in a beautiful park you can bring the beauty of this summer scenery into your interior spaces. Take inspiration from the delicate wild flower meadows and woodland walks and create a fresh and natural home interior that is visually stylish and colourful.

Wallpapers are perfect for creating a meadow inspired visual imagery in your chosen interior and can be used to accentuate a feature wall or alcove space in your home. For a classically elegant and botanical feel then opt for floral wallpapers in soft green, pastel pink, blue and lilac or bold fuchsia, lime and purple for a pop of feminine colour. Choose designs that feature wild flowers such as daisies, poppies and alliums or opt for a large contemporary wall mural that features a photographic meadow scene that will look fabulous in a garden view living room, conservatory or bedroom interior.

For a simple yet striking meadow inspired addition to your home then take a classic cream, beige or sage green sofa, chair or bedding set and accentuate with a selection of wildflower cushions that feature a combination of pastel and bold colour palettes. These floral designs can be partnered with simple plain linen cushions in varying shades of green or photographic woodland or meadow print designs for a more modern and eye-catching twist. If you wish to create even more variety then add cushions that feature small birds, field mice or butterflies for a natural and feminine finish.

Rural and country style interiors work really well alongside this fresh and natural interior design and meadow inspired accessories will create a bright and uplifting ambiance that compliments warm and cosy interior spaces. For a classic cottage look then take some traditional vases, jugs or watering cans in natural ceramic, glazed pottery or painted metal and create a variety of floral arrangements using classic wild flowers, roses and ornamental grasses. These arrangements will look fabulous displayed on a sideboard, windowsill or side table and will make a fabulous centre piece for summer dinner party.

For an alternative to classic floral upholstery then use a variety of green tones across your seating areas that will create a depth of colour that is inspired by the changing tones of summertime fields. Select colours that range from pale mint and sage green to deep olive and forest tones that will create visual depth on a traditional or French carved sofa or occasional chair and can be used to provide a splash of countrified colour to traditional oak dining chairs. If you wish to use this colour palette alongside a floral print then opt for fresh green and white lily of the valley or snowdrop print fabrics that will look fabulous on a dressing table or reading chair and can be co-ordinated with a foot stool or headboard for added style.

Natural oak furniture will compliment the floral and foliage prints and colour schemes of a meadow interior design and will create a cosy and welcoming ambiance that works in any room of the home. Plain white or cream painted furniture also looks great in a meadow inspired space and can be given an elegant visual finish with a selection of floral handles and knobs in co-ordinating pastel colours. If you are feeling artistic then why not update some of your old or tired furniture items with a few coats of chalk paint in sage green or pastel colour tones and decoupage the table tops, drawer fronts or linings with wildflower wallpaper or paper napkins for a elegant shabby chic style design.
