Floral decoration never seems to get out of style. If you go through your old family photos you will find an array of brown & orange flower images on curtains, heavily patterned leaf motifs on thick pile carpets, & of course a floral brown velour sofa in your favourite aunt’s house. Today’s use of floral imagery requires a slightly more subtle approach, with milder ‘rustic’ & ‘shabby chic’ themes being the order of the day. More of us are opting to use florals to add a sense of freshness & romance to our homes, rather than using wild, bold floral prints that trigger ADHD in children.As with any design scheme, you can either plan it, buy it & create it – or let it evolve as you find the right pieces.
If you have large rooms & plain walls, there are some easy ways to bring huge canvases of flowers into your home. Some of the obvious places that we tend to use floral patterns, include:Curtains: Using floral curtains will provide you with an elegant frame to your windows during the day & a pretty evening scene when you draw your curtains at night. If the rest of your room is fairly plain, then you can use a stronger print on your curtains. Or, you might want to use single tone curtains that have a elaborate botanical design embroidered onto them. Always opt for lined curtains where possible, so that you insulate your home & block out daylight in bedrooms.
