There is always the desire to bring the outdoors inside to our interior spaces. The garden as a source of design inspiration offers endless forms, colors, and textures that create a feast for the eyes and senses. A trellis (treillage) is an architectural structure, usually made from an open framework or lattice of interwoven or intersecting elements that are normally made to support and display climbing foliage. They were first invented by countryside gardeners who needed a way to support growing vines. King Louis XIV hired an architect to build one for his garden at Versailles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
William Morris is believed to be the first to create a printed trellis wallpaper in 1864. It was inspired by his Arts & Crafts style home, The Red House in Kent<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Borrowing the trellis from the garden, designers use the grid pattern to provide visual structure, while the organic elements of floral and foliage give the illusion of nature growing inside. According to Susan Meller\u2019s incredible resource, Textile Designs<\/em>, \u201cThese objects borrowed from the garden allow a designer to use a grid while giving the illusion of three-dimensionality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n These designs are inspired by a variety of materials such as\u00a0bamboo<\/a>, sticks, and metal. Bamboo is the perfect combination of strength and flexibility, and it has come to represent harmony and balance in one\u2019s life. As such, it is considered lucky in many Asian cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
