Design of nature 

Design of nature make good companions for stronger leafy shades and bright yellows, providing a cooling counterpoint.

A 'blank' wooden chest of drawers - sold ready to paint - offers the ideal opportunity to get creative in designs inspired by nature. We used toning shades of lime green for the different drawers, and swapped around the knobs to add interest.

Design of nature  with themes of flora and fauna make perfect stencilled or stamped motifs. Pressed leaves can be used as stencils for spray-painting furniture. Alternatively, create a design of nature with a simple stamp, such as the butterfly-patterned fabric lampshade shown here.

Fabrics with bold, large-seal designs work well as a wall-hanging suspended from a bamboo pole if you are looking for designs of nature. Use it to create a focal point behind a bed and change the material to suit your mood or seasonal color scheme.
