In our previous blog post we introduced Pantone's Colour of the Year for 2017 as greenery 15-0343. It's fresh, natural and epitomises nature. But how can you incorporate nature into your interiors? We've provided 5 ways to do just this!
1. HUES OF GREEN
Bring the outside inside by selecting shades of green for feature walls, whether it is nature-inspired wallpaper or luxurious paint, the shade of green could be light right through to bold.
2. HOUSEPLANTS
This may seem obvious but look at how you display your houseplants. Create an indoor garden space with shelves packed with your favourite plants, find feature pots and planters that make a statement or simply opt for low maintenance succulents. Houseplants will make your living space more comfortable, natural and breathable.
3. NATURAL MATERIALS
Compliment greenery with natural materials; from bamboo blinds to contemporary eco-furniture. Exposed brick walls in their natural state make for great focal points and natural wood can be durable and adaptable to most spaces.
4. LIGHTING
Flood your home with natural light; it's not only an interior statement but also fosters a positive, healthy living environment. Don't obstruct sunlight with cluttered window decorations and utilise skylights where possible.
5. VERTICAL GARDENS
Now this could well be a step too far for some but for others, it's the perfect opportunity to combine your green fingers and your interiors! Create your very own vertical garden with hanging planters, modular planting systems and climbing plants; it doesn't get much greener than this.
