Bring cornflowers, cow parsley, daisies and dandelions indoors with fresh decorating schemes inspired by summer meadows
Wild & WHIMSICAL
You can almost hear the bees humming and smell the heady fragrance. Floral fabrics and wallpapers recreate a classic, flower-strewn meadow with sparks of colour scattered amid grassy greens. The hues themselves are childlike in their bright simplicity but can also form intriguing patterns – especially with the occasional butterfly to add contrasting shapes and accents. Blue cornflower starbursts and red poppy roundels (reminiscent of Monet’s painted poppy fields) will make an exuberant lining for a cupboard or alcove, daisies and buttercups are perfect for cottage curtains, while winding stems of bellflower or wild sweet pea are dainty and elegant.
