Home interiors inspired by nature and wildlife
Nature is one of those things that is all around us, and it inspired our home design in so many ways. The gorgeous green of trees and plants, bright bursts of colour from flowers, as well as patterns and hues that come from the wildlife living on our planet. On March 3rd we celebrate World Wildlife Day, and what better way to pay homage to the wonderful flora and fauna around us then to see how they give us inspiration for designing our interiors.
Check out these striking ideas using Resene wallpapers and paint matches to see how you can bring some nature and wildlife into your home:
