Generally, botanical prints are associated with classic, more traditional decorations for people with an antique interior in their homes. But nowadays, botanical illustrations are also on the rise in the homes of people with more modern interiors. One can hang a botanical drawing in virtually any interior.

How do you decorate with botanical illustrations?
Group them! If you have a large wall in your home and don't know how to use it, grouping botanical illustrations of the same size and framing style can have a huge impact on your interior. Repetition is one of the design principles in interior design and is very effective in all applications, whether for art or other decorative pieces. So hang everything together on one wall to create a beautiful effect. Be a little bold!
To give your grouping the most effect, it is best to hang them close together - they should almost form a whole. The more prints you have, the closer they should hang together, but if you have just two or three prints, they should hang further apart.
