Blend Home And Garden With The Nostalgic Gardening Trend
In recent years there has seen a notable shift towards nostalgic interior design themes. We’ve seen the rise of Cottagecore, Dark Maximalism and the Rococo Revival which have seen a re-imagining of classical, time-tested styles. Connecting all of these trends has been a reconnection with nature and as a result, the Nostalgic Gardening Trend has been born. In this blog we’ll be taking a closer look at Nostalgic Gardening and how you can carefully blend your transition from home to garden.
Blending home and garden
With such beautiful gardens springing up across the country, how can you best curate the inside of your home to celebrate the elegance and beauty of thoughtful horticulture? These are our top tips!
Invest in house plants
The easiest way to bring the beauty and energy of nature into your home is with real plants. Plants with large waxy leaves and vibrant colours are ideal choices. Mixing flowers of different colours, shapes and sizes will also add to the visual excitement of the space. Some of the greatest, most beautiful plants to add into your home include spider plants, pothos, ZZ plants, and snake plants. Jasmine is equally beautiful and fragrant.
Add floral patterns to your windows
To enjoy the elegance of flowers and plants year round look to quality floral patterned curtains, Roman blinds or roller blinds. Available in a rich variety of shades and styles, you can revel in the beauty of modern or classical styles from the start of spring to the bitter depths of winter. For something a little more fun, fruit and vegetable patterns are just as suitable.
What is the Nostalgic Gardening trend?
The Nostalgic Gardening trend is a heartfelt trend that provides a mixture of traditional garden aesthetics with personal memories. It evokes a feeling of comfort and connection not only to the past, but our personal histories and those little details that make us happy.
This approach often features classic flowers like roses, lavender, and azaleas, whose fragrances and appearances can transport individuals back to cherished moments or simpler times. What’s more, many have taken to planting veggies too which is good for the environment but also suitably nostalgic.
Beyond its visual appeal, Nostalgic Gardening emphasises the emotional and sensory experiences of gardening, encouraging a slower, more mindful interaction with nature. As a result, many of these themes can be introduced inside the home, especially in rooms that lead out to the garden.
Breath in the outdoors
The appeal of both the gardens and homes is mostly associated with their visual aesthetics, but we also enjoy the beautiful smells of flowers and of course fresh air. With a vibrant array of diverse flowers and plants in the garden you can relax in the blissful aromas of nature.
These delightful smells can be replicated in your home with some handy purchases. Potpourri, essential oil diffusers and scented candles are all great investments. To replicate the diversity of nostalgic gardens, combine different scents to create a vibrant bouquet of fragrance.
Ease into your garden with voiles
Many homes feature doors that open directly onto the garden. In the summer, few things are nicer than letting the soothing air flood your home helping to keep it cooler and more comfortable.
That said, an open door can let in bugs and remove any privacy. Luckily, there is a beautiful window furnishing that’s ideal for letting light and air filter in to your space.
The soft, flowing fabric of voile curtains make them the perfect choice for adding versatility to your doors. What’s more, the innovative design of these luxurious curtain gently filters daylight entering into your home whilst allowing a view to the outside world. You can learn more about voile curtains in our blog.
The Nostalgic Gardening trend is a great way to add character and joy to a garden. With the right purchases, you can then bring the same energy and joy within your walls and benefit from a seamless transition from home to garden.
