THE<br />
BOTANIC<br />
TREND<br />
The botanic interior trend emerged in public<br />
spaces around Colombo, especially in<br />
restaurants last year. The concept behind the<br />
trend is to become one with nature, where<br />
indoors and outdoors merge. Use of tropical<br />
foliage in prints in the form of wall paper,<br />
wall art and even fabrics mixed with actual<br />
plants to layer the look is what has been<br />
used. This style of interior surfaced in the<br />
west a few years ago and it looks like it’s<br />
here in Sri Lanka, in 2018. This trend can<br />
be extended to homes as well. Rather than<br />
using this style all over the house it’s best<br />
to display it in areas such as feature walls,<br />
selected pieces of furniture, art, accessory<br />
items, again layered with actual plants. For<br />
instance, a wall behind the bed can be wall<br />
papered in a botanic print and the rest of<br />
the walls can carry a muted tone. To complete<br />
the look, actual plants can be brought<br />
into the space.<br />
