Garden Party
One of the top home trends for fall is botanically based design inspiration. People are continually looking for new ways to bring the outdoors in. This design theme combines nature with garden variety geometrics. Most classic color combinations are borrowed from nature. One of the freshest color schemes is yellow paired with green, reminiscent of sun and plants. Design experts remind us that "If nature tells us they work together, then they work together." Soft yellow provides a glowing backdrop similar to filtered sunlight while green is crisp and invigorating – think of pears or freshly cut herbs for example. This palette marries nicely with geometric patterns such as trellis and latticework to create chic interiors. These key patterns are showing up in many accents including vases, rugs and pillows.
This timeless interior boasts warm woods complemented by fresh green accents. The Larren Grey upholstered pieces featured in this vignette demonstrate a beautiful balance of nature inspired hues combined with modern style which defines today’s top designs. Note the geometric patterned rug used to ground the entire room while botanical artwork provides a subtle reference to the theme of this room.
