5 Best Garden Inspired Home Accessories

With all the fabulous sun we have been enjoying these past few weeks its no surprise that we have all headed outside to enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful floral surroundings of the garden. However knowing the good old British weather, it wont be long before we all have to head back inside to avoid the rain.

If you are missing the outdoors on those unpleasant stormy days then why not bring some of your garden indoors with a selection of botanical home accessories that will create a fresh and summery feel at any time of the year.

 

Cushions

Cushions are a great way of introducing a new colour or print into your existing home interior as well as providing a cosy and warm area of relaxation. For a garden theme opt for green and neutral colours, or choose relevant prints such as trees, ferns, grass or florals for a nod to nature and the outdoors. Floral prints can be bold and contemporary as well as traditional and vintage in style (Kath Kidston). Palm tree prints are huge this season and will provide a tropical, holiday atmosphere that will transform even the plainest of rooms into a relaxing and tranquil setting.

 

Wall Art

You can create a focal point against a plain feature wall using a bold garden inspired artwork that can be co-ordinated with the rest of your interior decor. Colourful and abstract floral designs look fabulous in a minimal interior setting or why not select a landscape garden image for a more intricate and detailed backdrop. If your feeling artistic then try your hand at leaf printing or dry flower pressing for a unique and customised piece of art that is tied to your own garden space.

 

Bedding

Floral bedding is bang on trend this year and comes in a vast range of colour schemes and prints to suit both modern and traditional bedroom interiors. Opt for bright and colourful patterns for an injection of colour into neutral rooms or choose a range of rich green leaf designs for a more classic botanical feel. Your chosen bed set can be co-ordinated to match your wallpaper, lampshade and rug to create a fresh and airy feel that will bring your bright outdoor space into your fresh and new interior design.

Plants

It seems like an obvious choice but a selection of indoor plants can create a fresh and colourful focal point within an interior and will tie the indoor space to the outdoor space without the need for a complete redecoration. Yucca plants, umbrella plants, cacti and orchids are great indoor plants that will provide colour and textural appeal into your home. Terrariums are a fabulous and low maintenance way to introduce plants into your home interior and make a great alternative to traditional vases and flowers. If your not particularly green fingered then opt for artificial plants and flowers that are ideal for those with  busy lifestyles.

 

Crockery

Our kitchens and dining rooms are often neglected when it comes to interior trends and designs. But a beautiful set of botanical crockery can transform a dining table and will create a fresh ‘outdoor’ setting in which to enjoy a meal. Alternatively why not display your crockery in a fabulous dresser that will create a colourful and detailed focal point within your chosen room. Bold abstract prints look great in contemporary homes and provide a pop of colour that can be tied into the rest of the home. Classic floral designs will provide a traditional addition to your kitchen area and create a cosy country cottage feel that is warm and welcoming.
