Bring the natural beauty and enviable colour palette of your favourite outdoor plants and trees inside with these botanical print homeware pieces.


It’s scientifically proven that the fractal patterns found in nature – geometric shapes that repeat like tree branches, clouds, seashells and leaves – provoke brainwaves that help us feel relaxed and focused. So why not bring the calming benefits associated with being immersed in nature into your home by way of botanic home decor?

A few choice homeware pieces decorated with leaves, trees and flowers are a great way to bring the outside in and gain those same relaxing benefits, even in the colder months when you might not feel like stepping outside into the cold, brisk air.

We’ve found nine stylish botanical homeware pieces to add to your home, from mugs inspired by the fungi of a woodland floor to plates decorated with hand-painted designs inspired by the beauty of the natural world.
