In Botanical Style, popular stylist and bestselling author Selina
Lake shows how to tap into the current trend for bringing nature,
plants, and florals into the heart of the home.
The first chapter, Botanical Inspirations, sets out the ingredients of
the look--antique botanical prints and artworks, flower stalls, potting
sheds, and houseplants--as sources of fresh ideas to transform your
home. Moving on, Selina explores five different facets of the style.
Vintage Botanicals celebrates the gentle palette of floral watercolors
and pressed flowers, while Boho Botanicals has a free-spirited 1970s
vibe, with jungly potted plants and flower garlands. The varied textures
and contemporary appeal of Industrial Botanicals give it a modern edge,
combining polished concrete, rusted metal, and laboratory glass with
peeling paint and vintage science posters. Next, Natural Botanicals is
based around antique prints and museum specimen cases for a nostalgic
feel while Tropical Botanicals features bold leafy motifs, cacti, and
palm trees for a glamorous retro flavor. Throughout the book, Selina's
DIY Makes and Style Tips provide a wealth of suggestions for how to
recreate the textures, tones, and ambience of botanical style at home.
