Overview

In Botanical Style, popular stylist and bestselling author Selina Lake brings her signature romantic vintage style to the current trend for all things botanical. The first chapter, Botanical Inspirations, takes a look at the ingredients of the look – antique botanical prints and artworks, flower stalls, potting sheds and houseplants – and draws upon these sources for fresh ideas to transform your home. Moving on, Selina explores five different facets of the style. Vintage Botanicals celebrates the gentle palette of floral watercolours and pressed flowers, while Boho Botanicals has a free-spirited 1970s vibe, with jungly potted plants and flower garlands. The varied textures and contemporary appeal of Industrial Botanicals give it a modern edge, utilizing materials such as polished concrete, rusted metal and laboratory glass and combining them with peeling paint and vintage school science posters. Next, Natural Botanicals is based around antique prints and salvaged museum specimen cases for a nostalgic feel, while Tropical Botanicals features bold leafy motifs, spiny cacti and palm trees for a glamorous retro flavour. Throughout the book, Selina‘s imaginative DIY Makes and insightful Style Tips provide suggestions for how to recreate the textures, tones and ambience of botanical style at home.
