The green appeal – Contemporary home gardening
  • From monstera to begonia, succulents to haworthia – as one of the major trends of recent years, home gardening has reshaped the way we think about interior design and offered a breath of fresh air to confined urban spaces. A far cry from dreary DIY store greenery and dusty office vines, the plants we are seeing today draw on heirloom varietals and crossbreeds to bring biodiversity into our homes and create a cosy atmosphere and stimulating environment. So too the once-snubbed natural materials such as linen, raffia or sisal that are finding their way back into contemporary interiors to create exciting contrasts when paired with high-end objects. Set in front of a lush green backdrop, a colourful bouquet in a beaming white or painted porcelain vase is transformed into a nonpareil statement piece, allowing you to play with flower compositions, vase shapes and artworks to create a completely new spatial experience.

"Stylised cosiness in its most vibrant form – home gardening has breathed new life into contemporary rooms and interiors."
  • Any passionate home gardener will be quick to tell you that houseplants – far from being mere props or decorative accessories – are living creatures, roommates almost, that require the same amount of care and attention you would give a pet: each plant according to its needs and with consideration of your experience and capacities. A quintessential of holistic living and aesthetics, plants not only speckle our homes with colour and liveliness, but also provide – quite literally – a breath of fresh air: by filtering pollutants and releasing natural oxygen. With all the time we are now spending at home and indoors, creating a beautifully verdant environment is an absolute must!
