This is a statement decor idea, and we love it. The latest botanical trend starts with wallpaper. It’s bright and bold and will create an air of joy in any living space. Style director Louise Hilsz shares how you can create this look or learn to love it over the next few months.
From a papered wall in vibrant hues or frame in this tropical trend, it all begins with statement botanical wallpaper. Style director Louise Hlsz says start with a bold pattern, and then choose colours within the print and bring them to life in any room.
