Florals Always Have a Place in Home Decor

Many of us love the natural look of florals in our home décor. Although the inclusion of flowers and leaves can add a feminine touch to your home, there are also ways to use floral accents without overpowering a room. From fabric to floors, the options for decorating with florals are endless. Let’s take a look at some of the many places these motifs of nature can enliven your home.

Fabrics
The choices for floral fabrics are endless. A trend at the moment is a focus on leaves, from flowing tropical looks to more minimalist skeleton leaf designs. Flowers can be found on all types of surfaces, such as:

• In floor rugs, from woven patterns to traditional Oriental designs
• Throw pillows allow a spot of floral pattern without being overwhelming
• Curtains with flowers add a cheerful touch to rooms
• Upholstery on small furniture items melds well with other textures

Walls
Having an accent wall that features flowers and leaves is a great approach to incorporating natural elements in your home and will provide a focal point for any room. There are many ways to incorporate the pattern using wallpaper, stencils, painting, or decals. Try to keep the pattern on a smaller scale and in a neutral color to avoid overwhelming the rest of your décor.

Floral features on the fixtures of your home are a more subtle way of incorporating nature into your interior design. Consider adding these touches:
• Floral balustrades on your staircase that have an iron flower-and-leaf motif
• Wall sconces in leaf shapes add a flowy feel to your light fixtures
• A three-panel corner screen can provide a pretty backdrop

Floral patterns have a place in any home décor, regardless of the season. Even in the fall and winter, adding a touch of nature to your decor can brighten any room. Try out some of these ideas to bring nature indoors.

    These are some wonderful ideas on how to add floral designs to one’s home. I like the idea of floral sconces and using decals or stencils to emphasize some walls.

  2. I love gardening. I hadn’t given much thought about florals in my house, but when I looked around they were everywhere: chairs, bedspread, throw blanket. Guess I like florals…
