Weather Inspired Home Decor

Unfortunately we all know the Great British weather all too well! One minute it’s sunny the next it’s pouring with rain and you can even throw in some gale force winds and snow for good measure. While it can be frustrating, why not take inspiration from the changing climates with a weather inspired home interior that celebrates the diverse and varied forecasts of the season. From fun and quirky artwork to functional soft furnishings and furniture items, there is something for every room of the home.

Wallpapers are a great way to showcase this trend in your home interior as they come in a vast range of weather inspired prints that are sure to create a focal point in your chosen room. Raindrop print designs will look great in a children’s bedroom or playroom and give a fun feel to a plain feature wall. For a more atmospheric feel then opt for photographic cloud or storm designs that will look great in a sophisticated monochrome interior. Sun bursts and floral pattern will give a hint of springtime elegance while frosted metallic or glittered designs will create a wintery and snowy ambiance with a hint of luxury glamour.

If you love fun and funky interior decor then why not include one of this year’s biggest trends; the box light, in your chosen room. These eye-catching lights come in a vast range of colours and sizes and are a perfect combination of mood lighting and wall art that are sure to give a wow factor to your home. I love this bold and striking lightning bolt design that will look great against a dark painted feature wall for maximum visual impact. Alternatively for a softer look, select a crisp white cloud shaped light that will look great above a bed or dressing table area. You could also opt for sun, star or raindrop shaped designs that can be showcased individually or in a grouped gallery formation.

If you are looking for a creative storage idea for your hallway area then why not combine function and sculptural art with this cleverly designed umbrella stand (left). This unique and stylish black metal stand has been designed in the shape of a closed, upturned umbrella and is the perfect shape for storing both small and larger brollies. This item is far too pretty to be hidden away so why not place it next to an occasional chair or bench in your hallway space and partner with some umbrella print cushions or upholstery for a complimentary design.

Rugs make a fabulous alternative to a bold feature wall and can be accommodated into your room, no matter what the shape or size. This fabulous rainbow style rug (right) will create a burst of colour in an otherwise plain interior and can be partnered with sunshine colour schemes or raindrop cushions and upholstery to complete the weather inspired design. You could also opt for a large yellow, circular cushion for a sun inspired design, leaf print items for a crisp autumnal feel or cloud shaped rugs that will give a soft and delicate touch to a children’s nursery or bedroom.

If you are not in the mood for a complete interior overhaul then a scattering of cushions can transform the entire look and theme of your chosen room. For a crisp and illuminating interior design then take a selection of white, dove grey and silver cushions with glittered and metallic snowflake and swirled patterns for an elegant snow inspired design. If you prefer a dark and stormy feel then opt for deep blues, navy and grey and choose a selection of cloud, mist and photographic lightening storm cushions that will create a fabulous focal point in a minimal home. For a more bright and cheerful look then select bright sunshine yellow cushions and place alongside feminine floral prints or tropical inspired designs for the perfect summer ambiance.
