If you are looking to follow a fun trend this summer I have just the thing- think botanicals! They seem to be everywhere this season, from natural & rustic to bold & bright. From the earliest of time, plant forms have been documented through simple sketches and paint. This timeless art saw a brave transition in the 1940′s with the iconic banana leaf wallpapers from designers Don Loper and Dorothy Draper. Whether you are seeking to follow this trend with a full on commitment or one on a smaller scale, I have some fantastic ideas that will get you feeling the green.
What a better way to follow this trend than through pillows. By simply adding a few botanical prints here and there you can be a part of this trend with a very small risk. Layering pillows in with your signature style, will no doubt give a high dollar designer look for less.

Taking the commitment level up a notch, lets talk upholstery. This may seem like a daring proposition, but if you think small then the options are limitless, such as stools, benches, small chairs and yes, even a headboard. What a huge statement this piece makes, it proves that being bold pays off.

Speaking of bold, how about a botanical wallpaper? I know, this is a FULL on commitment but again, what a statement this banana leaf print makes. Like the idea but a little weary, try a self adhesive version.

Although curtains can be an investment, especially if they are custom it is a great way to bring life into your space. I have always been one to fancy a print on a window, such as this vibrant botanical, it brings high style with a moderate risk. Plus if you make them yourself or find some vintage yardage, you will score on this trend for a lot less.

Probably my favorite way to follow any trend is through art. Layering your walls with original, one of a kind vintage finds or reproductions is an easy way to be current and stylish. Whether you choose to go simple or bold, this botanical trend has something for everyone.

I am not sure if it is the time of year or nostalgia kicking in but I am loving this trend! I know what I will be hunting for this summer:).
Have a fantastic week,
