Dream Garden, Dream Home
This year, home and garden is all about green! Colour, décor, sustainable choices and planting that
brings calm and comfort. It’s a simple greener and more natural approach that will hopefully bring
greater appreciation of our environment - inside and out!
EMBRACE NATURE AT HOME
During the lockdown home working, people
up and down the country installed every style
of garden office and took to growing their
own. The trend continues and we’re embracing
nature to improve our wellbeing at home and
work. It’s all about finding ways to incorporate
nature as the natural stress reliever that we
know it is into our lives.
TOP TIP
Basil, oregano, chives,
thyme and tarragon
are all easy to grow
herbs.
GREEN IT UP
Designers say begin by blurring the
division between home and garden
by encouraging nature to come
inside and living areas to head out.
Choose subtle chalky green wall
paints like the Dulux Olive Sprig
to create a natural calmness in
rooms. Upgrade your patio doors
to discover the joys of your garden
– more glass will enhance natural
lighting and open doors will
improve ventilation in your home.
Add house plants to maximise the
natural connection gained from
different textures, colours and
shapes of leaves like ferns, cacti and
succulents. Include cut and pot
flowers into the mix for colour and
scent and to improve your mood,
reduce stress and even work better!
HEALTHY FLOORS
Fibre rugs include jute, sisal and seagrass
– they are relatively cheap and yet are
durable. The natural fibres are not usually
treated with harmful chemicals so are
better for your health and as they’re
biodegradable better for the planet too!
