Botanical decoration for summer walls
In these sunny days when the green floods us after a rainy spring, today we pay a small tribute to nature with botanical decoration, an original way to renew the walls in this warm season that will surprise all those who wish to achieve a serene atmosphere with a bohemian touch.
Due to its natural origin, botanical decoration brings a refreshing touch to any home, whether it is an apartment or a country house. Although this decorative style can be achieved by combining elements related to the study and conservation of flora, such as the use of exotic plants, glass bells or lanterns and demijohns, this time we will opt for the simplest option, flexible to changes and less bulky for day to day: the walls.
We found three possible ways to use the botanical theme to decorate the walls of our home. Let's see which ones:
1. Botany sheets
Old botanical plates are a decorative alternative that, due to their didactic style and antiquity, bring a vintage air to any space. You can frame them or leave them natural and paste them with washitape to give them a more casual style.
Pressed flowers
Lovers of collecting can choose to decorate with pressed flowers and plants. It is an interesting way to preserve natural souvenirs and to create beautiful compositions for the walls.
It is common to choose double glass frames on the front and back, enhancing the transparency of the support and highlighting the natural element inside, ideal for providing a tropical style when using the most exotic species or a more country style when it comes to flowers and plants taken directly from the field.
3. Nature illustrations
If we have a good hand with drawing or painting we can dare to reproduce some plant-themed watercolors, since watercolor is a very subtle and delicate technique that fits perfectly with the natural concept of botanical decoration.
If not, we can always acquire them easily in the market and arrange them grouped on the headboard, the back wall of the sofa or on a dresser or sideboard.
As you can see, botanical decoration is a very accessible, fresh and spring-like option to decorate without great luxury, letting your imagination fly and bringing out the talent we have inside to preserve, paint and frame plants and flowers. We leave you with some samples for inspiration.
