In Roselind Wilson Design's Eaton Mews North project, the
team created an incredible faux living wall in the basement
kitchen. Troughs of fake foliage were attached to the wall
to create a sea of green which was then covered with a
large glass screen. “The result is a dynamic and vibrant
backdrop to the dining area which will never go out of
style,” says Roselind. “The faux green wall alludes to the
idea of outside space, but also creates a sense that the
room extends beyond its own boundaries.”
Another way to effectively add faux greenery is to follow
the 'Rule of three' principle as Roselind illustrates in her
Holland Park project. Three bright green faux bushes have
been placed at regular intervals along the dining table,
creating a pleasing symmetry and a link to the hedges in
the window boxes outside the property.
“The 'rule of three' is a design principle that uses groupings
of three, or layerings in odd numbers, to create an effect
which is pleasing to the eye,” says Roselind. “This approach
can be applied to all kinds of elements such as accessories,
artwork and furniture. The owners of this period property
wanted a simple, pared-down design scheme. The dining
room was left white to maximise the light and space, with
fresh bursts of greenery to reflect the hedging outside.”
