Natural Connections

Elegant natural interiors are set to be a hot trend as we move into 2019 as they create an air of peace and tranquillity within your interior space. The NATURAL CONNECTION interior trend brings together soft and muted colour palettes with natural accessories and finishes to create a look that is light and open yet cosy. This look works wonderfully in both modern and traditional homes and can be easily achieved with a few select interior options.

Key Colours: Wicker, cream, mocha and pastels

Key Fabrics: Cotton, linen, fur

Key Accessories: Plants, rattan planters, wooden ornaments

As a base colour opt for soft and elegant hues such as wicker, beige and cream tones that will create a cosy yet uplifting ambiance in your chosen room. Elegant clay tones that are set to be a bestseller this year will also look great alongside mocha and taupe hues. To create a natural feature on a large wall then opt for some leaf or branch print wallpaper or create additional texture with a bark effect wallpaper that will look wonderful in a rich mocha or wicker colour palette. If you wish to include a splash of colour in your chosen room then add a selection of muted pastel hues such as mint, blush and blue that will compliment a soft cream backdrop and will look amazing teamed with a watercolour or floral wallpaper on a main feature wall.

Stick to natural and simplistic fabrics when it comes to your soft furnishings and upholstery with simple cotton and linen. These fabrics can be used across your curtains, cushions and rugs to create a light yet cosy ambiance within the room. Opt for simple plain cream and mocha tones that can be teamed with soft beige and brown faux fur rugs, cushions and throws for a cosy space to curl up during the colder months. Alternatively, for a more spring inspired design then include some floral designed cushions, rugs and bedding that will create a fresh and natural feel within your room.

Classic oak furniture is perfect for creating a natural ambiance in your home interior and can be used to create a natural cottage inspired look within your room. Cream painted furniture also makes a great partner to this interior look and is perfect for creating a sense of space and openness in smaller rooms of the home. To complete your look, opt for accessories that tie your interior space to the elegance of nature. Wicker and rattan baskets make great storage options and can be further complimented with rattan style planters that can be adorned with a palm, umbrella plant or banana tree and placed in the corner of the room or nestled next to your seating area. Include a selection of natural hand carved wooden ornaments and branch style ceiling lights and lamps that will create a natural focal point within your chosen room.
