Botanical Interiors: Bringing Nature into your Home.

Your guide to botanical interior design Adding botanical elements to your home is quickly becoming one of this year"s biggest interior design trends. It"s also one of the easiest trends to get involved with! Whether you"re planning on going green entirely, or just want to add a few natural touches to your home, everyone can go botanical with their home decor this season. If you"re dying to go green too, but you"re not sure how to get started, here are a few tips to start you on your way:

1. Green is best.

While flowers can be a beautiful addition to any home, a truly botanical look focuses on leafy greens, rather than vibrant flowers. This creates a calm, peaceful atmosphere in the home, as green is well renowned as being one of the most calming colours you can choose in home decor. So, when you"re picking out the perfect botanical pieces for your home, be sure to opt for leafy and green over colourful and floral.

2. Size doesn"t matter.

From large statement pieces, to small accents, any botanical element placed in the right space can help you seamlessly achieve the look you desire. Analyse the space you have to devote to this look, and work out what kind of pieces would best help you achieve a botanical theme. If you have a lot of space, one large statement piece can be enough to give the room a botanical look. If the space you"re in is small, try placing smaller plants off the ground to give them more prominence in the room, and choose plants that are small in size, but leafy and dense to maximize on their effect. Any home can benefit from botanical accents

3. Think beyond plants.

Once you have added the elements of natural foliage, you can enhance their effect by adding well placed, botanically themed soft furnishing around your home. From curtains, to cushions, throws and rugs, there are countless ways for you to enhance the botanical theme of your home. You can match the shades of green you"re using for a uniform look, or mix and match a few shades to create a more natural and diverse botanical effect. You can also opt for nature based designs - leaf designs are perfect. Why not take a look at our botanical collection for some ideas? Shop the botanical collection with Home focus at Hickeys

4. Use your wall space.

Empty wall space is the perfect canvas for adding a botanical feature to your room. Whether it"s wallpaper that makes a big statement, or some beautiful pieces of art that add a natural element to the room, adding wall art is a great way to complete your botanical masterpiece. Identify the kind of space you have and how you want to use it - whether it"s a wall segment you want to wallpaper, or an empty wall that would suit a botanically themed painting. Be careful in choosing your colours and patterns when it comes to wallpaper, so as not to make the room appear to be too dreary or dark.
