Freshen Up With Floral Prints
Add some spring flower power with these floral-inspired designs
Florals never go out of style. Iconic, garden-inspired patterns are a fresh and feminine approach to decorating. One option is to go bold with punchy wallpaper. Or you can also play it safer with subtle prints. In honor of the first day of spring, here are some more ways to embrace flower power inside your home.
1. Pillow pleaser. The easiest and most affordable way to add florals is with pillows. Throw a perfect pair on a white sofa. You can update your print each season.
2. Classic covering. Traditional florals on classic upholstery are a decorator’s favorite. Match your accent chairs and sofa pillow to create a cohesive look. These neutral tones will last through the seasons.
3. Small doses. If a full-on floral-print-covered chair or sofa is a little too much for you, try toning it down. Here, a floral has been added to just the seat cushion. You can follow suit or try this print on a sofa’s back or pillows.
4. Bedroom bouquets. A great duvet instantly freshens up a bedroom. To appeal to both genders, pick one with a gray ground. A duvet cover can be easily changed in the fall.
A soft headboard and matching pillows have created a theme in this bedroom. You can transform your tired space with one quick trip to your local fabric shop. Some quick stitching can get you an entirely new-feeling space.
5. Floral floors. Artful florals on the floor is another way to get in on this style. Splash up white walls by adding a lively color palette. Pull out colors from the floor covering and try them in accompanying textiles.
Kitchen rugs are a great way to add pattern and color to the heart of the home. Take part with a fresh floral rug. This staple easily livens up any white kitchen.
6. Wallpaper wonders. This kitchen packs a bold punch. These juicy colors are an unusual choice for a kitchen, but that’s half the fun of it. Instead of tile, try a fresh floral wallpaper above the cabinets.
Wallpaper doesn’t need to be over-the-top. Select a subtle print of daintier florals for a mainly white room. By doing so, you’ll give a blank wall new life.
7. Patio pop. Punch up your patio with pigmented prints. Mixed with trendy Lucite, they truly stand out. For an outdoor space you can’t help but show off, try this pairing.
8. State of the art. Finding floral artwork is easy, as flowers are common subjects for many artists. However, if you’re having trouble finding one that suits your style, look at wallpapers or fabrics. They aren’t meant for just walls and chairs. You can frame small swatches to create your own work of art.
9. Mix it up. Take note of this expertly done combination of prints. Floral art, chairs and rugs combine to create a garden-fresh look. To achieve this look yourself, use prints of various scales. The exploded floral artwork pairs beautifully with the dainty floral chairs here.
10. Tone it down. A small cottage guest room is made sweeter with soft floral pillows. Add a small print to your tight space if you’re looking to get just a hint of style. Keeping the palette fairly muted will ensure that you won’t take away from cottage style’s natural charm.
