Garden party

Three garden inspired looks for your home.

Bali garden

Everybody loves a lush tropical backyard space but can you bring it indoors with the introduction of a green wall. This stunning wallpaper provides all the texture and colour, add a few pieces of your favourite rattan furniture and layer up rich natural textures with the rug and soft furnishings. Keep your green earthy for a more sophisticated feel.

Bali garden: Wall In Resene Family Tree and Wallpaper design No 524901. Accessories: Lodz Sofa and chair, Black and Natural, from Me and My Trend. Waikiki outdoor rug in Basil, and Bean bag footstool in Cactus, from Lujo. Weight Side Table in white, No.3 Building Block Cushion Cover, Panama hat, Glow tumblers in olive, from Citta. White concrete pot, Blanca leather sandle from Moodstore. Milligram basic notebook in Green & Black A5, Set Of 2, Gardenista book, from Father Rabbit.

Morrocan room

For the more tonal lover, keep your colour palette simple. A muted pink alongside the natural tones of wood and jute will always be a winning combo. Bring in the cactus! We painted our pots in the same colour as the wall to really make a feature of the green and keep it clean.

Morrocan garden: Wall and pots painted in Resene Shilo, floor in Resene Sunbaked. Accessories: Apex shelf in Burnt Red, from Tim Webber Design. Biarittz 3 Seater Teak outdoor sofa with off white cushions, and Vienna Teak Chair, from Me and My Trend. Rattan woven screen, Bali round bag woven, Round Jute rug, 240cm, from Moodstore.

English garden

What was once and old fashioned look has been given a modern makeover with soft muted greens and the clean lines of Scandinavian furniture. Start with your wallpaper and pick your paint colours from within the palette of the paper. To keep it modern use the paper in smaller areas to highlight to create interest. With a busy patterned paper, pull back on your accessories so that the space still has a calm feel to it. If flowers are your thing, why have just one type? Mix and match colours and textures to create something unique.
