COUNTRY GARDEN Bring the glorious beauty of an English country garden into the home with joyous floral motifs depicting native favourites from wildflowers to the classic tea rose. The taste for English botanicals is evident in many new pieces for spring, with painterly techniques capturing the ethereal beauty of blossoming petals or graphical designs modernising trailing foliage for a crisp look. Of course, blowsy chintzes epitomise the classic English country garden look in full bloom with peonies and roses bursting across fabrics in cheerful, gay abandon. (See p72 for more inspiration on bringing the outdoors in.)
