You can infuse subtle floral accents or transform your room into a veritable garden; it's entirely up to you, and the following tips can help you design your home with attractive floral touches.
Living room
Floral design in the living room can make for a warm and comfortable room. Floral upholstery for the sofa or arm chairs is one way to infuse the room with flowers.
On the other hand, you might simply want to enhance a plain sofa with floral throw pillows. Floral draperies and vintage floral prints will also make for an appealing space.
Don't forget to add a vase or two filled with fresh flowers, which is a great way to bring the natural work indoors.
Bedrooms
When considering a floral motif for the bedroom, you can transform your walls with floral wallpaper or even a floral trim. Floral bedding is an eye-catching way to bring floral appeal into the design.
If you want to maintain a more subtle appearance for your bedding, choose a simple floral spread to drape over a neutral comforter. You can bring floral design into the bedroom with your drapery and curtain selections too.
Dining room
When considering flowers for the dining room, you might opt for a traditional floral centerpiece that changes with the seasons.
Placemats and fabric napkins might complement the centerpiece. A painting with a floral motif makes for an eye-catching focal point for the room. Floral seat cushions may also enhance the space.
Powder room/bathrooms
You can enhance a bathroom space with floral decorative accents like curtains, pictures, and even your shower curtain.
You can further incorporate the floral motif into these rooms with a wall display of dried flowers, soap, and potpourri. You can create a lovely floral fragrance when you add these items to a room.
Foyers and hallways
Flowers in the entryways or in hallways can be a surprising element. A vase filled with a floral display or a large floral painting can be quite welcoming. You might also add a rug with a floral motif to these areas.
Floral themes
Because there is a wide array of floral decorations, you might want to narrow down your décor to a theme. Wildflowers suggest a country or rustic theme.
Choose fabrics or paintings that feature poppies, daisies, and wild roses. For a more elegant look, you might stick to a single-color palate such as white.
You can focus on flowers like white lilies or tulips. For a romantic setting, consider choose large, showy blooms like red roses, pink peonies, or variegated orchids. The types of flowers you choose can have a big impact on the setting.
Adding floral-inspired decorations and accents to your space is a fine way to transform the look of your décor. With just a few touches here and there, you can infuse each room of the house with the warmth and beauty of flowers.
