Nature Trail

This month's style tip focusses on adding a fresh touch to your home, to rid you of the winter months. Layering deep forest greens, mineraly sage and acid greens is key to this look, taking inspiration from woodland walks and nature.

Clarke & Clarke - 'Astrid'

Clarke & Clarke - 'Wild Fern'

Sasha Interiors now supply Clarke & Clarke fabrics and wallpapers, offering you a greater choice of styles to inspire. So why not try adding a welcoming touch to your hallway with Clarke & Clarke's Wild Fern wallpaper? The uplifting citrus green is sure to put a smile on your face as you return home. Or for a more subtle and calming effect, try a simple blind and coordinating cushions in your living room, with Clarke & Clarke's 'Astrid' fabric. The soothing mineral green would be offset perfectly by a dark forest green feature wall, keeping you on trend with this year's big colour! Keep the other items in the room in stripped back wood to really get the nature trail effect. (All of the above products are now available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford.)

Personalise it!

Create your own masterpiece by painting leaves collected from the garden and pressing them onto paper, leaving an impression of the beautiful veins, resulting in a sophisticated print for you to frame.

Experiment with:

• Textures - coarse weaves, peeling paint and wood grains will all add to the organic look.
• Oriental accessories - vases, paintings or ornaments with a hint towards the orient will add a great twist to this look, complimenting the key colours perfectly.
