In an urban setting, using a meadow-inspired wallpaper brings a breath of fresh air to the interior, softening the hard edges of city living with the gentle reminder of nature. This subtle infusion of natural imagery helps to ground the space, making it feel more tranquil and connected to the outdoors.
Reinforcing the botanical theme, we particularly like the framed prints of simple leaves which add another layer of visual interest. Styling prints in groups of three always makes the arrangement feel intentional and thoughtfully curated.
