In Botanical Style, popular stylist and bestselling author Selina Lake shows how to tap into the current trend for bringing nature, plants, and florals into the heart of the home.

The first chapter, Botanical Inspirations, sets out the ingredients of the look--antique botanical prints and artworks, flower stalls, potting sheds, and houseplants--as sources of fresh ideas to transform your home. Moving on, Selina explores five different facets of the style. Vintage Botanicals celebrates the gentle palette of floral watercolors 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, combining polished concrete, rusted metal, and laboratory glass with peeling paint and vintage science posters. Next, Natural Botanicals is based around antique prints and museum specimen cases for a nostalgic feel while Tropical Botanicals features bold leafy motifs, cacti, and palm trees for a glamorous retro flavor. Throughout the book, Selina’s DIY Makes and Style Tips provide a wealth of suggestions for how to recreate the textures, tones, and ambience of botanical style at home.
