An English Summer Garden
Bring the essence of a semi wild English garden inside your home wherever you live.
As well as giving your home a seasonal lift, enhancing your connection to nature is also known for restoring the soul and nurturing your wellbeing. Quiet, but imaginative, with a hint of the wildness of an overgrown garden, these nature inspired designs will add some creativity to pared back interiors.
Ink line drawings of entwined and twisting brambles become luxurious when made into curtains on screen printed Brambleweb fabric, scattered with metallic and hand embroidered silk thorns that glint in the sunshine whilst framing your garden view.
Layer your space to give it depth, either with pattern upon pattern, papering wraparound walls and ceilings and window dressings, or just little hints of pattern dotted throughout on soft furnishings, allowing the empty negative space in-between each design to let it breathe.
Paper your walls with gently climbing vines and branches to create a soothing backdrop. Brambles and ivy climb the garden walls of humble country cottages, city houses and grand stately homes alike, but the organic imagery can bring the wildness and enchantment of an untamed garden inside too, ensuring that even the most clinical or urban interiors become a soothing retreat.
Enliven a plain sofa with patterned cushion covers, this will add a quiet hint of texture and colour, giving your room a layer of interest without crowding the space with visual noise. Finish off with softly draping curtains, capturing the playful meditative summer light glinting through the window and casting shadows on the vine covered walls.
A neglected dining area can also benefit from a nature inspired upgrade with our take on floral cushions. Or, use Brambleweb linen/cotton union to make your own interior furnishings. Upholster a vintage occasional chair to add interest to an empty hallway or make a beautiful panel blind to bring some fairytale depth to your home. The inspiration of a wild English garden can bring elements of wonder to any home, even if you aren’t surrounded by lush gardens.
