Incorporate these inspired ideas to create your own garden-esque indoor space.
Choosing the Right Floral Print
Floral prints can be romantic, elegant, colorful, or whimsical. This versatility contributes to the timelessness of floral bedding, textiles, and home accents—and these patterned pieces complement a variety of decor styles. Consider the mood you want to set as you select the type of floral print to incorporate.
- Vintage florals evoke romantic, subdued, or elegant moods. Look for detailed, intricately illustrated blooms, such as roses or peonies; complex palampore patterns of plants and flowers; and classic paisley-inspired designs, all rendered in soft, muted shades or deep jewel tones.
- Modern floral prints often feature bold, loose, abstract interpretations of favorite blooms; geometric patterns incorporating flowers against a white or solid-color ground; oversized statement-making blooms; or tiny, scattered buds. Black and white or bright and colorful, modern florals feature gorgeous color palettes to update them for contemporary homes.
- To bring a distinctly contemporary aesthetic to a space, opt for floral patterns that merge elements of vintage and modern prints—think realistically rendered blooms blown up and silhouetted in white against a monochromatic background, or a fashionable pattern illustrated in muted hues to evoke a more romantic mood. These meet-in-the-middle approaches can help balance traditional furniture in a modern space—or give modern decor a traditional feel.
