Maple and oak leaves instead of palm leaves, pine cones instead of pineapples and natural wood instead of ascetic white furniture... Sounds like a revolution? Previous trends are becoming a thing of the past, now we are focusing on native nature! We invite you on a short trip to the forest, which delights at any time of the year - just like your home.

In the FormAdore Magazine, in our recent article 5 Interior Design Trends for Autumn and Winter, we mentioned that the Scandi look has become a bit overdone. The current vogue is for deep colours, natural raw materials, and botanical motifs found right here on our doorstep. We've got just the answer. We went for inspiration... into the woods! If you're looking for a breath of fresh air in your interiors, see what we've cooked up for you.

Don't carry coals to Newcastle...

...Just bring the wood from the forest into your home. Natural, wooden furniture is a timeless classic – it'll stand the test of time, and a room with it instantly feels cosier. If rustic vibes aren't quite your cup of tea, no worries. Choose a small element, such as a wooden serving tray or a clock. But don't be afraid to experiment – wooden elements can also look splendid in raw or industrial arrangements if you showcase them skillfully.

Green is the new black

Bottle green is all the rage right now, but the forest offers a plethora of inspirations. Deep emerald, vibrant leaf green, olive... You'll find every shade and combination in nature, so you can pick your favourite or match green accessories to your interiors. It's all upside: this colour not only looks beautiful but also calms the senses. You can read more about the power of colours in the Magazine: The Role of Colours in Interiors. How Do They Affect Your Well-being?

However, the forest isn't just about shades of green. There's something for fans of more subdued colours too: dark browns or warm beiges. Earth tones will warm up rooms and give them a cosy character, while also creating the impression of being at one with nature.

Gather ye leaves

Are you tired of plain surfaces and looking for ideas for prints or patterns? The best inspiration can be found right outside your window! Enough with the tropics in interiors, it's time for native flora – maple or oak leaves, pine cones, and nuts. And nuts, by the way, are in season not just in fashion but also in the kitchen; you can read more about it in the article: A Tough Nut to Crack – Recipes with Nuts.

Look for diverse textures and modern designs – in such a combination, the forest theme will reveal all its subtle, original beauty and uniqueness. Don't forget about real greenery either. Plants take care of air quality, improve mood, and are a true interior decoration. No excuses about it being too much work! In our offer, you'll find many impressive pots that will make it easier for you to care for greenery in your flat, including those from Veritable, which provide plants with food, water, and light themselves.

Invite the forest dwellers

...at least onto your accessories! A gathering of deer and foxes won't cause you any trouble when they take up residence on your dishes, mugs, shelves, or walls. Forest animals are a unique motif for those who dislike overly sweet decorations and value independence. And the possibilities are endless: not just foxes or deer, but also bears, wolves, roe deer, owls, and moose. There are no wrong choices here, just your personal preferences wink

Inhale the scent

Or perhaps it's enough for your interiors to simply smell of the forest? Reach for a fragrance diffuser or candles and conjure up a forest in your own home. If you're not a fan of bland, sweet scents, this is the perfect choice for you! The crisp scent of pine, fir, wet wood, wild herbs, or a bonfire will transport you to the heart of nature and bring a breath of fresh air into your home.
