Bali Garden

Everybody loves a lush tropical backyard space but you can 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 greens earthy for a more sophisticated feel.

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.

What was once an old fashioned look has been given a modern makeover with soft muted greens and the clean lines of scandanavian 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. •
