How to decorate your home with Garden Party inspired interiors
Looking for some fresh interiors inspiration? Our Garden Party trend is here to bring the outside, in. Celebrating an easy connection between inside and out - thanks to a blend of fresh neutrals, zingy greens and elegant florals.
A classic nature inspired colour palette flows through this elegant look, which brings the quintessential English summer garden party inside, with fresh blues, crisp greens, and oak finishes. This is a trend for those who want to enjoy the outdoor vibes, whatever the weather.
“We all love a garden party - the blossoming flowers, the soft breeze, the fresh summer cocktails. But our weather here in the UK doesn’t always play ball! Bringing the garden party vibes inside means we can enjoy that aesthetic, whatever the weather.” - Alessandra Cahill, Trends Content Writer
How to create the Garden Party look
This is a pared back celebration of spring that features plains as a base, with pattern subtly layered on top – think tonal stripes and leopard prints, mixed with botanical motifs and natural foliage.
Pick out the crisp green and blue tones of the natural colour palette with playful details, such as a botanical wallpaper or delicate woodland-stencilled walls. The key is to create a scheme that feels joyful - but unfussy. Balance whimsical pattern and colour with simple window treatments and crisp, chic furniture shapes, or paint woodwork in a tone that chimes with fabrics and finishes for a unifying look.
“Nailing a sleek, fresh trend like this is all about investing in those key quality pieces. Keep the accessories minimalist and put that extra budget towards high quality materials, like real wood and premium fabrics.” - Kellie Wyles
Key materials
For an understated scheme that channels nature’s fresh and calming mood, think pale wood, sculptural stone and a soft, springy colour palette.
Sculptural stone and marble
Wide oak floorboards create a perfect canvas for strong shapes, such as the sculptural stone-effect Agnes dining and occasional range. These statement curved plinths evoke elegant landscaping reminiscent of an English country manor - no old money required!
Pale oaks
Pale and whitewashed oaks are a timeless trend, and are much more practical indoors than out. Simple dining chairs, like the Filip spindle chair in an elegant oak finish, add a relaxed, welcoming element to your formal dining setup.
Relaxed, textured fabrics
Soften the look by selecting soft, textured fabrics that catch the spring sunshine beautifully. Woven chenilles, cord and pastel velvets are all fantastic choices here, but you could also opt for classic basket weaves and linens. To nail the look, subtle contrast is key - think contrasting piping detail on your sofa, a softly striped rug, or simply choosing scatter cushions that contrast against your larger upholstery pieces.
Key pieces
The key to keeping this look feeling soft, springy and whimsical - without straying from elegant - is all in the curated selection of furniture and accessories.
Mid century furniture
Mid-century modern never goes out of style, and these pieces are a match made in heaven for this trend. Look for fluted details, crisp slender-legged consoles and armchairs, and elegant, sculptural cabinetry in classic wood finishes.
Deep pile rugs
Between the pale oaks and sculptural stone pieces, there’s a risk of this trend feeling cold. Deep pile rugs with a painterly pattern - such as the sage green Kuza – add forest floor softness to warm up your space.
Fresh flowers
This look isn’t complete without some fresh flowers, so look to the outside world to style the space. Add fresh greenery and flowers for everyday appeal, or a statement botanical centrepiece for wow-factor when hosting guests.
Accessories
Overscaled, arched floor lamps are a match made in heaven for this trend - evoking softly sweeping willow or wisteria with their elegant shape, while adding a handy repositionable light source for reading or ambience. For dinner parties, accessorise with smart striped tableware and plain ruffled cushions for a modern garden party feel.
