Invite the enchanting nature of the outdoors in with the whimsical woodland style.

Whimsical Woodlands combines cheerful patterns with natural palettes and contemporary design elements. The result is a charming way to reconnect with nature. We love this latest trend for creating calming, nature-inspired spaces. Your windows are the first place to start introducing the trend into your home. Dive into the style below, and find out how you can integrate it into your own home.

Use Your Blind to Present Playful Patterns

Your blind provides the perfect opportunity to introduce charming patterns into your space.

Look to designs inspired by sprawling woodlands for a charming window scheme. Select ditsy florals for an understated, pretty feel. Larger-scale designs can be more impactful though. So, choose these for a more conversational feel. Favour designs in light and delicate hues to maintain the theme. Coordinate smaller soft furnishings, such as scatter cushions or throws, with your blinds.

Select a Light and Airy Palette

Create a serene feel by allowing nature to influence your colour choices.

Woodland-inspired patterns look especially beautiful in delicate colourways. So, choose shades of soft greens, earthy browns, and muted neutrals for a calming, cohesive look. Allow pattern and texture to do the talking and use these to create interest. The whimsical style works best in rooms that promote relaxation, such as bedrooms. This is where the trend’s gentle tones work best.

Add in Stripes for a Timeless Twist

Stripes are making a comeback this season. They work especially well in light and playful schemes too.

Tune into the maximalist style and create a pattern clash. Pair stripes with conversational prints. Mixing different qualities, such as weaves and prints, adds depth to spaces too. Just like your prints, choose stripes in nature-inspired hues.

Pair Prints with Coordinating Plains

Coordinate blinds with your drapery, or vice versa.

Use plains to break up large expanses of pattern. This also prevents your space from becoming too busy. Select a colour featured in a pattern from around the room and use this in your plain. Match your blind fabric to your curtain, for example, for cohesion.
