If you’re an avid gardener, a lover of the great outdoors
or simply appreciate a pared back, rustic look, then a
nature-inspired theme is for you. The white-washed wooden
floor encourages a light and airy feel, whereas the textured
surfaces of the vintage furniture create a welcoming and
pastoral space. In fact, the sepia and brown tones of the
furniture reflect the surrounding soils, which in turn are
softened by the pale linens, adding warmth to the white
palette. To maximize the effectiveness of the space, consider
including a large, flat surface for potting seedlings, tending
to plants and arranging flowers—you’ll be thankful for the
room to spread out as you spend long, sunny afternoons
crafting and cultivating the natural environment around
you. By turning a summerhouse, shed or garden room into a
dedicated space for tending to your garden, you’re bound to
wonder why you didn’t make use of the space sooner.
Enjoying a garden room in the summer is as much about
enjoying a newfound indoor space as it is enjoying the
outdoor areas, so allow the space to spill out to create an
alfresco dining area. A set of reclaimed table and chairs kept
to a soft, muted palette will continue the pared back feel of
the garden room. Similarly to the indoor space, simplicity is
key to successfully creating this look—a jug filled with water
and freshly cut blooms from the garden is all you need to
create a suitable atmosphere. Let the sights, sounds and
smells of the natural environment be the theatre of this
scheme. Shop this look at…
