Step 1
Notice that windows offer a view of the garden, with a bounty of flowers and lush greenery framed by the windowpanes.
-
Step 2
Study the walls framing a window. The furnishings against that wall and the accessories on it continue the garden look, as does the rest of the room.
-
Step 3
Check out the textiles. The sofa or chair under the window may well have a floral-print upholstery, and the rug could be a natural fiber, or it could have a floral pattern.
-
Step 4
Note the window treatment, which may be absent or might be lattice, suggesting a trellis. Other options are airy sheers, lace, floral and picnic-tablecloth checks sewn into a simple design.
-
Step 5
Consider the furniture, which should be light in color and feel. Wicker pieces, glass-top tables and light-colored painted pieces are suitable. Painted pieces could have a floral or trompe l'oeil garden motif (a pot of geraniums, for instance) or a weathered finish suggesting they were used outdoors in the past.
-
Step 6
Remember that many outdoor furnishings - tables and matching chairs, benches and even trellises - may be put to use indoors in garden-style decor.
-
Step 7
Accessorize this look with flowers - potted, cut, dried and in potpourri and wreaths. The room also will rely on compatible artwork, garden tools and ornaments, and nearly anything found in the garden, including decorative birdhouses and aged concrete or stone ornaments.
