1. Indoor Plants: Adding Greenery for a Natural Touch
Incorporating indoor plants into your interior design aesthetic is the obvious way to add a touch of nature to your home.
Not only do indoor plants provide aesthetic value, but they can also help purify the air and add a sense of calm and relaxation to your home.
You can choose plants based on their size and shape to complement your furniture and decor. Create a statement piece with a large plant, our top plants for this look are monstera, link and picture below from Happy Houseplants, or cheese plants. We love this in a living room with a window, and it beautifully connects the outside with the interior of your home.
Alternatively, you can add a cluster of smaller plants to create a lush and inviting atmosphere. We love this in a bathroom. Just get a shelf that suits your room and style it with plants and some trinkets.
With so many benefits, it's hard to go wrong with adding some greenery to your interior space. Don’t worry, though, if you don’t want to have to take care of plants and worry you'll kill them. We have 5 other tips for creating a botanical oasis in your home below.
2. Botanical Art Prints: The Beauty of Nature on Your Walls
Botanical art prints are a great way to bring the beauty of nature into your home. Whether you choose vintage floral prints or fern prints, incorporating botanical art into your interior decor can transform your mood and well-being.
They also don’t need watering, like plants, so if you aren’t green fingered they’re perfect for you.
These prints can create a sense of nostalgia and romance, and they pair beautifully with traditional or modern interiors.
The soft, muted colours and intricate details of vintage floral prints can also calm your mood, making them a perfect addition to a bedroom or a cosy living room.
On the other hand, fern prints are a popular choice for creating a more modern, minimalist look. The clean lines and geometric shapes of fern leaves lend themselves well to a contemporary aesthetic and can add freshness and energy to any room. The greens and lushness of the leaves add instant impact to your space and bring the outside indoors.
