Make Spring Come Early With Fresh Ideas for Florals
While most of the country is still deeply entrenched in winter weather, I'm ready for a little spring! A great way to bring a bit of sunshine into your home during all year is to include floral prints in the design scheme of your rooms. While this might conjure up thoughts of your grandmother's house, floral prints are often a key element in updated homes featuring modern charm.

The large-scale floral print centered across the valances and featured on the drapery panels creates an interesting contrast against the Union Jack pillow and zebra print rug.
