Botanical trend: all you need to know!
The botanical trend is one that doesn’t appear to be disappearing any time soon, so if you’re looking to modernise your interior, this is a great one to pick. Whether you’re looking to completely redecorate or simply give your home a little bit of an update, this is a fun, vibrant and fresh way to add some new touches to your home. But where do you start? With so much out there to purchase it can be a bit overwhelming, so we’ve come up with the ultimate guide regarding what you need to know about the botanical trend and how to add it to your home:
Subtle touches
If you’re a bit overwhelmed by the idea of redecorating, why not add a few smaller touches to your home to start with? You can buy some small potted plants to add to your coffee table and shelves or fruit and plant-inspired ornaments. If you feel that’s a bit too subtle for you, why not buy a large potted plant for the corner of your hall or living room or a hanging plant for the bedroom? The accessory options for this trend are endless!
Bold patterns
To add more of an impact, you could opt to cover larger spaces with bold botanical prints. That way, you can keep the rest of your living space neutral and pick out key focal points. Cover one wall with bright, bold floral wallpaper or add some jungle print cushions to your sofa and chairs. You could also add a leaf print throw to the sofa and even match your curtains to break up the bold patterns within an otherwise neutral room. If the room you’re looking to decorate needs completely updating, opt for off-white walls and grey carpet to ensure whatever patterns you choose go together.
Shop around
Your budget doesn’t have to stop you, as there are so many places to shop for interior decor and accessories in today’s modern world. Be sure to browse the high street and the web to see what’s out there and if you find something you like, see if you can get it cheaper elsewhere should you be watching the pennies.
No gardening experience needed
Don’t worry if you’re not the green-fingered type or dislike the idea of having to look after various plants around your house. Even in budget shops, the fake plants on offer are brilliant quality for their money. If you wanted to update your living space with minimal money and effort, you could invest in a few various flowers and plants, give your walls a lick of neutral coloured paint and add a few floral framed prints to the walls. You will be amazed how a few small changes can make a big impact.
Textures
Compliment this trend by accessorising with different textures: crisp linear marble side tables, wicker baskets for your magazines, 3D wallpaper, cushions with different tones, colours and materials or a faux fur rug. The combination will complete this look perfectly.
