BOTANICAL PRINTS TO BRIGHTEN YOUR HOME
Fabric designers often use nature as inspiration for their country fabric designs. Botanical prints are right on trend this spring and there are plenty of styles to choose from. Contemporary leaf prints come in vibrant pinks and greens, natural earthy shades and simple, pared-back monochrome. But equally popular are the more traditional designs straight from a botanist's notebook. Whichever country style fabric you choose, it’s sure brighten up your home.
A SINGLE COLOUR PALETTE FOR A COHESIVE SCHEME
For a relaxed look, it’s great to mix different country fabric prints for curtains, cushions and upholstery. Keeping to the same colour palette will ensure your scheme elements work well together.
Botanic country fabric can be used to great effect in any room but is especially successful in bedrooms and living rooms. Create a soft and relaxed look with a pastel print for your curtains with plain green or earthy tones for upholstered furniture. Or, for something more dramatic, add a statement piece with an armchair upholstered in a colourful botanical print.
GIVE YOUR COUNTRY PRINTS A NEUTRAL BACKDROP
To give your stunning country fabric the attention it deserves, walls and floors are best kept to neutral tones. Wood, hemp and jute have a natural feel to add depth and texture to your scheme, while carpet or tiles in a neutral tone would work equally well. If neutral cream and beige is not to your taste, try pairing your country style fabric with a relaxing shade of green, inspired by nature.
ACCESSORISE WITH NATURAL ELEMENTS
To complement your room, accessories should be kept simple. Accessorising with framed botanical prints, vibrant plants, wicker baskets and enamel jugs of fresh flowers will help to bring the outdoors in.
Wherever you live, country fabric combined with nature-inspired accessories will bring a calm and relaxing feel to your home.
