Not all of us have a garden or outdoor space in our homes, especially if we live in the city. Thus we see the popularity of terrariums rising, enhancing the trend of bringing the outdoors into our homes.

Sophie Thompson, who founded
Terrarium Designs, has launched a range of home products called
Hothouse that refreshingly bring the outdoors in through her designs. Inspired by the orchid exhibition at London's Kew gardens in which the tropical glasshouses are filled with a vast variety of beautiful flowers, the fabric design has a botanical narrative that captures the abundance of beautiful colourful blooms alongside the lush tropical foliage.
Coming from a family background in antique dealing, Sophie’s style is influenced by the elegance of the past as well as her love for contemporary design. These contrasting elements combined to form Terrarium. She creates colourful handmade homewares inspired by botanical beauty, bringing nature from the exterior into the home. The web-based store features a selection of home products, from cushions of different sizes to lampshades, glass coasters and re-upholstered antique furniture.
Inspiration for
Terrarium's design collection undoubtedly is drawn from a deep fascination with our interaction with nature and by capturing nature through insightfully delicate illustrations and contemporary digital processes create dramatic, detailed designs that bring a sense of serenity in today's uncertain world.
And in search of that peace, I am pleased to have enrolled myself in an introduction class to learn how terrariums can be achieved.
