Traditional or Contemporary
Whether you love the classic and traditional pastel tones of period style floral interiors or the vibrant, eye-catching styles of contemporary homes; the 'Floral' trend is a versatile and easily achievable interior trend. For a traditional floral scheme try opting for muted, pale colour palettes such as pinks, peaches and creams to create a soft and cosy ambiance within your home. The floral pattern itself should reflect classic period gardens with prints of roses, ivy and chrysanthemums for an authentic antique appearance. Modern interiors on the other hand should celebrate bright and bold colour schemes such as vibrant blues, greens and reds combined with crisp white backdrops. Contemporary floral patterns tend to be illustrated with larger, bolder flowers such as gerberas, hydrangeas and poppies for a real statement style.
Wallpaper
A bold floral wallpaper will make a focal point in even the most neutral of interiors. For an injection of energy and vibrancy then why not opt for a bright and colourful wallpaper that will create a colour palette with which you can match your interior accessories and fabrics. If you prefer to air on the more conservative side of this interior trend then a small traditional floral print or an illuminating metallic printed wallpaper will provide a luxurious ambiance to your flowered interior.
Textiles
The perfect way to add florals into your home without changing the whole of your interior decor is with simple coloured and patterned textiles. Cushions, rugs, curtains and blinds can add an injection of floral print without overwhelming the rest of your interior. For neutral interiors then try injecting a bold and colourful print into your space to create a contrasting pop of colour and energy or try matching your floral textiles to your existing interior colour palette for a more sophisticated ambiance.
Accessories
Floral accessories are bang on trend this season with designers such as Cath Kidston bringing traditional floral patterns up to date with 21st century living. From cute, shabby chic style kitchen accessories to fabulous fabrics, vases, artwork and table wear you can inject some kitsch style cuteness into your interior creating a fashionably feminine, floral interior that the whole family can enjoy.
