This inspiration board shows you a house decorating idea inspired by nature.

The whole tone and feel of this interior design trend is cool, calm and sophisticated.

Walls and Color

• You can see the inspiration of nature mainly in the wallpapers. Use wallpapers decorated in any flora, fauna or foliage - especially birds, butterflies, plants, leaves and flowers. The patterns themselves should be large scale - but the feel is not bold. The pictures on the wallpaper have a delicate, drawn feel. They all remind me very much of old-fashioned botanical drawings.


• The colors used to get this look are very subtle too. Think neutrals - whites, off-whites, creams, pale beiges/stones, and greys.


• You can use a lot of black and white too, for this trend - but only if it is very delicately and graphically drawn - think of an intricate, pen and ink, line drawing.


• Other colors you can use to get this look, and which will tone in well with the neutral base, are golds, greens (for the 'nature' element), and greeny-blues and turquoises.


• For a small splash of an accent color, try a little red or pink - use a flower or rose motif to add the color, and it will fit in perfectly well with this trend.


• Use your chosen natural, botanical pattern on wallpaper or fabrics. If you use wallpaper, you will probably find that, as your pattern is not too bold, you can use it on 3, or even 4, walls.

Furniture

• Consider covering your sofas and chairs in a similar fabric too. The patterns are quite delicate and subtle, so you will be able to mix a few different patterns in together - keep to similar colorways, or pattern 'themes' though.

• This latest house decorating idea would fit equally well in a traditional, or very contemporary home. The style is very modern, but classic, at the same time. It should stand the test of time well.


• Mix this look with traditional or modern furniture as you wish. But, to make sure this trend looks at it's best, try and stick to old or new quality furniture items, and design classics. A natural, wood look, or painted wood, is good for both old and new furniture, as is all white.


• Choose furniture with a really nice shape - smooth, simple and classic, or full of beautiful curves.


• You can go traditional or modern with accessories, depending on your taste. I think it is always nice to mix a bit of both in. In that way, you get a really genuine mixture of classic and contemporary.

Accessories

• Add lots of accessories that bring nature to mind - especially bird and butterfly motifs, roses, and (if you can get it) a white painted bird cage (...bird optional!).
  
  I think you will find this house decorating idea sophisticated, beautiful, and really easy to live with. It is perfect for young or old, and suits period or contemporary homes equally.
