Wildflower­s

Bring the outdoors in and create a calming sanctuary with this gentle, nature-inspired scheme

-

Adelicate palette of barely-there shades sets the tone for this serene scheme. Choose warm neutrals and pastel shades with a chalky finish. Green is the key colour to bring in botanical vibes, so introduce it on your walls, or large soft furnishing­s, such as rugs and curtains. You can then bring in soft pink, taupe and blue in accessorie­s or occasional furniture. Look out for woven pieces to create a richly textured effect. These could be thickly woven water hyacinth or elegantly curved bamboo or rattan. Crochet and macramé pieces are perfect for this look, too. They’ve been a highstreet favourite for the last few years and their nostalgic popularity shows no sign of waning. Pair natural materials with dried blooms and houseplant­s, then carry this botanical theme into your patterns by choosing loose, trailing designs.
