Fantasy garden
This apartment in Melbourne has taken the idea of bringing the outdoors in to a new level. By adding a melange of wall treatments with real plants and faux grass, the space has become a glorious homage to our childhood dreams of forest fairies.

The entire apartment isn’t covered in greenery – the kitchen has been kept simple and modern. There are, however, lots of real and faux plants around to hold the theme together.

Verdant dining nook
If an over-the-top green garden fantasy is too much for you, try something more restrained but still fresh. In this dining corner, the greenery has been toned down via the addition of neutral colours, but there are plenty of botanical references in the curtains and pendant shade and of course, that avocado green banquette. Plonk a low vase of flowers or foliage on the table and you’ve got yourself a garden-y room.
