In this post, I have looked at other designs that have incorporated natural shapes and images to give a sense of bringing the outside in.

This bedroom scene has a big emphasis on the woodlands and trees. The bed is the main focus of the room, a bespoke design by European crafts marketplace Dawanda. The height of the bed means it would not be practical to incorporate this into my clients bedroom, however looking more closely at this design, it is the wallpaper behind the bed that catches my eye. The image depicts a meadow or field with long grass and birds. Looking out of the en-suite bathroom window, you can see a wild garden, so it might be nice to incorporate this into the bathroom scheme.

This design is very similar to my metaphorical image, with the ivy on the wall looking asthough it is falling curtain-like into the room. It is not possible to tell from this image, whether this has been painted on or whether it is wallpaper. It may even be a sticker motif. I like how the design comes from the ceiling as it is more effective and realistic. In this image, I think the wall eradicates the need for a feature headboard, and the imple bed in this design allows the wall to be the main focus of the room.

This is a very popular design at the moment, the idea of thin trees spread densely across the wall. To me this design is quite modern because of the pattern repeat. Its vey stiff and regimented, and so does not reflect the untameable countryside.

This wallpaper has be created using a photograph, and so is incredibly realistic. The use of the sunlight coming through the trees almost gives the impression that this is a window allowing light to travel in to the room. I like the idea of taking a photograph of somewhere more personal to the client, perhaps an area of woodland that they are familiar with. This is something to consider in the development of my research.
