Introducing leafy greens and fresh florals to your interiors is the perfect way to make your living space feel connected to the outdoors. Not only are plants perfect for adding a colour accent, they actually help to make your home a happier place to live too by cleansing the air of toxins and increasing oxygen.
But if tending to plants isn’t your strong point, creating a botanical feel through your fabric choices is the perfect way to bring the outside in. And, in our 130 different fabrics, we have the perfect shades to allow you to do just that. From gorgeous foliage inspired greens, to pretty petal hues. So, if you want a home that's a fresh as a summer garden, these 8 fabrics will help you achieve it.
Linen Cotton Pistachio
This beautifully soft feeling fabric is perfect for bringing a sense of nature into your home. A blend of manmade and natural fibres, it has cotton like appearance, and lovely texture to the touch that wears well over time too.
