Midnight Garden

With the dark night’s drawing in, it's time to create a cosy and elegant interior space where you can kick back and relax. This season a MIDNIGHT GARDEN inspired interior brings together rich and deep colour tones with botanical elements and garden inspired blooms that will create a perfect balance of masculine and feminine interior elements. This interior design is set to be popular for both high-end designers and high street stores during the autumn/winter season, so it is easy to recreate in your own homes.

Opt for deep and dark colour tones that reflect the beauty and fascination of a midnight sky. Deep and dark navy, midnight blue and royal blue look great together on a main feature wall or scattered around the room on different levels. These can be teamed with a bold patterned floral wallpaper for a feminine twist on this rich colour palette. Alternatively opt for a selection of grey hues ranging from pewter and charcoal to deep black that can be used to create a modern masculine feel in your interior space. Partner with a contemporary tree print wallpaper in coordinating colour schemes that will create a focal point on a main feature wall, chimney breast or alcove area. For an added botanical tone why not include some deep forest and fern green colour tones that will compliment a leaf print wallpaper or floral design to create a garden inspired feel that is rich and decadent.

Choose some upholstery that coordinates with your chosen colour scheme. Deep and dark grey sofas are hot on trend this season and work well within a grey and black colour scheme. For a more opulent feel then why not select some dark navy or midnight blue velvet upholstery that will look wonderful on sofas, armchairs, a chaise lounge or even on a headboard for a striking interior feature. Emerald satin curtains will look wonderful against a deep grey wall and can be coordinated with some velvet and satin cushions, a rich shag pile rug and a selection of grey fur throws that can be placed on a seating area or draped along the base of the bed for a classic visual feature.

Accessorise your room with a selection of indoor plants that can be positioned in small pots on windowsill or sideboard area or large planters that can be situated in the corner of the room or nestled beside a sofa or bed to create a focal point within the room. Choose rich green coloured plants such as palms, yuccas and umbrella plants that will add a pop of botanical colour to your room. Floral crockery and ornaments will look wonderful on a classic dining room table or displayed in a dresser or display cabinet for added print and pattern. Elect dark grey painted furniture that will look wonderful against the midnight colour palettes of your room or select some light and bright white furniture that will create a visual contrast against the dark backdrop and is perfect for creating a sense of space and light in smaller rooms of the home.
