Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is taking the world by storm this Spring/Summer through film, fashion and now interiors. With the likes of Stella McCartney, Temperley and Lulu Guinness all designing collections influenced by the film, one of Fun on the Floor’s hottest trends for Spring/Summer 2010, Magic Garde,n draws inspiration from the magic of Wonderland.
Take your home’s style down the rabbit hole and play with texture and prints, both big and small. Rooms enter another world when carpeted in a summer meadow of forget-me-not blues, buttercup yellows and grass green.
‘Achieve this look by using soft furnishings and carpet in springtime colours’ says Fun on the Floor interiors expert Andrea Maflin. ‘Think about bringing the freshness of the outdoors in to a room. Using big floral prints and vintage soft furnishing will add a shabby chic, yet magical look to a room. Choose a couple of fresh colours, such as grass green and buttercup yellow to give a light and airy feeling to a room. Whether it’s a living room or a bedroom, try adding mirrors, trinkets and fresh cut flowers to really bring this look together.’
