Now that spring has sprung, it is time to freshen up your home decor! To help you achieve this, we are sharing some ideas for infusing florals into your home.
When decorating with florals, you can be literal using floral arrangements (whether real or faux), you can take inspiration from them, bringing in flower inspired decor and fabrics, or you can do both! Florals are a great way to bring spring and nature into your home. Bringing nature into your home is a huge trend across the interior decorating world right now, as it can bring peace, calmness, and the sense of a fresh beginning into your home. By bringing in this element of spring, you are infusing feelings of cheerfulness and energy.
Floral Fabrics
You can go as bold or as subtle as you want with floral fabrics, depending on which fabrics you choose, and what you decide to use the fabric on. You can recover every accent chair in the room, or you can just add a little pop with toss cushions.
There are so many floral fabrics to choose from, so you can find the best one to match your home and your personality!
From contemporary to traditional, from pinks to blues, there are so many floral fabrics to choose from.
Love the idea of a floral fabric but not sure you want to go so literal? Another great way to add the essence of florals
into your home, without adding floral fabrics, is to select fabrics inspired by florals. You can also choose fabrics in
colours that are commonly found in florals, such as lilac, light pink and yellow.
You can cover just about anything in floral fabrics, whether it be a side bench, an accent chair, a sofa, or a toss cushion! Some items, such as accent chairs and sofas, will generally be out all year long, so make sure you are choosing a floral that you love and that can transition season after season if you are covering one of these items. If you want to infuse floral fabrics into your home without the long term commitment, try toss cushions! Toss cushions can be changed up as much as you like, whether you change them every season or every year! Whether you choose a vibrant pattern, or something a little more traditional, these can add a pop of colour and texture to your room.
Floral Accessories
While florals are always in style, we understand that committing to an item of upholstery in a full floral pattern can be a bit daunting and overwhelming for some people. This is why decor items can be a great way to add florals to your space. They are easy to switch up as you please, and generally they don’t cost as much.
Similarly to fabrics, you can choose accessories, such as wall art, vases and table decor, that take a more literal approach to florals, or you can choose accessories inspired by florals, whether by in design or in colour.
In the spring and summer, it is quite common for people to add bouquets of flowers to their home. If you don’t have a green thumb though, or if you are going away quite a bit during the summer, a good alternative to a real bouquet is a faux one! We have plenty of faux botanical arrangements at our stores that you could mistake for being real!
