Previously, I showed you how flat lays create endless possibilities for creating a perfect space and three flat lays inspired by bird feathers.
Birds provide endless inspiration for creating beautiful designs with the intricate patterns, colors, and textures of their feathers!
Flat Lay #1- The Forest
In my article Birds of a Feather- What Birds Can Teach Us About Designing the Perfect Room, I shared a design for the first flat lay, inspired by realistic photo art of Pintail duck and eagle feathers. I designed a room with a calm and earthy feeling that reminds me of being in the forest using the feather art and colors of nature.
Flat Lay #2- Bohemian Meets Hollywood Glam
The second flat lay, evoked a much more glamorous style and feeling, like a cross between Modern Global Style and Hollywood Glam. I developed several ideas capturing the drama and glamour with different color walls.
Flat Lay #3- A Time for Whimsy- Let's Fly
The third flat lay to me evoked a sense of whimsy and playfulness, filled with color and the sense that you can take flight and soar to any place you want to go.
As in Flat Lay #2, the feathers are stylized rather than realistic, and more colorful and playful than the gold and black feathers. Even though it has a sense of fun and whimsy, it also feels calm and relaxing with the blues and greens.
I designed a living room with three different color schemes on the walls. The first 2 use wallpaper and are more light and airy yet add texture. The deep blue wall lacks the texture but adds more drama with the darker, rich blue.

Bird Feathers Are a Great Source of Inspiration!
As you can see, you can use natural elements like bird feathers to inspire earthy, glamorous, and dramatic, or whimsical and playful designs!
Bird feathers can inspire many design styles and are fun to work with. There is a huge amount of variety.
Did you know you can often identify a bird just by the feathers? That is how unique they are. Mother Nature provides endless inspiration. Try your own flat lay and see what it inspires.

Oh those clever birds! If only they could speak. I love all the lovely inspiration you shared.
Thanks so much! They actually have a lot to say with their beautiful songs, we just don’t understand most of it:)
