Botanical Design

As we navigate contemporary living, there is a strong desire to reconnect with nature in daily life. We are excited to dive into the topic of botanical design as we enter spring! It can be so wonderful to bring the green from the natural world indoors. This is a refreshing and calming trend that seems to be here to stay. Botanical design brings natural elements such as plants, floral motifs, and earthy color palettes into interior spaces. The result is a feeling of aliveness, dynamism and harmony with the natural world.  

Houseplants are a design staple. Cascading ivy is beautiful and simple succulents are low maintenance. You could even make an entire room into a botanical room or ‘garden room.’ Pinterest describes the trend as “nurturing yourself with nature in your very own secret garden.” The aim for a garden room is to feel completely immersed by your plants in an oasis of calm.

While houseplants have many health pluses, botanical design can bring some benefits to you without the living plant maintenance. It can also help create seamless transitions that enhance the overall flow of a home. Large windows, indoor gardens, and the incorporation of natural materials celebrates the beauty of the environment.

Try putting a floral design in a dining room or entryway for a sense of welcome and peace. Make your home feel more alive with seasonal colors. Consider complementary accent pieces to showcase your plants.

Try a botanical wallpaper to really make a statement. Put it in a room you don’t use as often so that you don’t get tired of the pattern, like in a powder room. When selecting a botanical wallpaper, consider your color preferences and how it complements the overall aesthetic of your home.

Biophilic living room design incorporates large windows or skylights that allow sunlight to flood the space. This reduces the need for artificial lighting and provides a psychological boost. Exposure to natural light has been shown to improve sleep patterns, mood, and overall health.

As you can see there are many ways to bring botanical design into your home. Whether you decide on cascading ivy, a cute succulent, or a botanical wallpaper. Nature will work its magic and make your home feel more alive and refreshing.
