Urban jungle
Make time to connect with nature and create your own oasis of calm indoors
Even the stickiest summer days are no match for this green and gorgeous trend. Cooling greens are paired with shade-giving, purifying houseplants and airy, metal furniture to create a fresh-feeling space. Plants make great housemates; they help to clean indoor air and dampen down noise in open-plan spaces. If you’re not very green fingered, don’t worryfl It’s still possible to reap the benefits of a plant-filled home. Try out practically unkillable specimens, such as cast iron plant or parlour palm. These darlings require little maintenance and can handle many different conditions. Use large species to create shade in sunny spots and place them on top of furniture to free floor space. Add drama to the look with monochrome accessories. These will provide areas of sharp contrast that help to create a modern effect.
