Although popular in spring and summer, botanical interiors need not be seasonal for those who love nature all year round. Our blog today explores the key features of botanical interiors and aims to show you how to incorporate this natural and beautiful aesthetic into your home.

The first step is to establish your colour scheme. For a country chic aesthetic, consider using pastels and subtle hues against cream or white backgrounds, complemented by antiqued golds and wooden tones. For modern interiors, experiment with deep greens and rich wood tones, emphasising clean lines and a neutral palette. If you prefer a bohemian style, embrace more playful textures and colours; incorporating vibrant floral décor can add bright accents throughout your home.

After you have decided on the colour scheme for your home, you can then begin buying key furniture pieces which set the scene. Wooden furniture is a staple for all rooms, and keeping the tones consistent with your theme is a must. Items such as sideboards, sofas, beds etc. do not have to be covered in floral prints, as these can be accented with decorations later to fully encompass your design, however, the colour of these items creates a solid base for your overall décor, and provides the canvas for finishing touches which will fully showcase your botanical interior.

Don’t overlook the smaller furniture pieces, such as dining chairs, stools, and side tables. These accents play a vital role in enhancing your décor and allow you the opportunity to either complement your existing colours or introduce a contrasting shade. Our Contemporary Liner Sage Green Dining Chair is a fun addition to bring to your dining room,  bringing a playful aspect with colour and shape, while the Amour Olive Green Velvet Stoolis a simple addition to any living room or bedroom, and incorporates a vibrant burst of gold as well as bringing added comfort to your home.

After establishing the foundation with beautiful furniture, it’s time for the fun part: decoration! Art prints, like our Set of Two Botanical Prints, can be displayed on your walls or as accents on side tables and sideboards. Decorative cushions, curtains, bedspreads, tablecloths, and tea towels are excellent ways to introduce patterns and colours; for example, our Artisan Print Cotton Green Bedspreadadds a lovely touch. Other decorations, such as candles, vases, and ceramics, make perfect additions to sideboards, countertops, and bedside tables. The striking Siargao Ceramic Vase, for instance, enhances your décor with texture and suits both boho and modern styles. You don’t need to fill every inch of your home with décor; instead, subtle and consistent hints of botanical colours, patterns, and textures will create an inviting atmosphere.

Finally, we cannot forget about houseplants! Indoor plants and flowers are quintessential to a botanical interior. We highly recommend exploring various shapes, textures, and colours available in plants. If you’re short on time or prefer low-maintenance options, dried or artificial flowers can still provide a similar aesthetic without the upkeep.
