Florals Meet Modern Home Décor
Floral prints are springing into homes with a fresh take on what we have previously considered grandma’s passé style. Contemporary floral trends forget the rules, embrace creativity and make way for incorporating traditional romance or embracing sleek modern lines.
This new “no rules” mentality brings renewed life to the world of decorating with florals. Get inspired by these stunning spaces that incorporate modern floral fun into home décor.
Desired emotions are evoked with the perfect selection of color and scale. Look to embrace life with large-scaled florals. Try silhouettes against crisp white bringing forth an airy, open and comfortable atmosphere or opt to go bold to make a personal statement. Either way, by avoiding small-scaled patterns when it comes to walls or furnishings you will help render a modern edge to your design concept.

A floral sofa is always a classic piece. Look to modernize the look with straight, clean lines or romanticize it with flowing curves in shades of pink, red or purple. Not ready to update the sofa? Capture the look through accent chairs.

Not keen on the idea of immersing your spaces in roses and hydrangeas? The new floral trends also strongly embrace botanical themes that emphasize leaves, stems and trees instead of flowers. This option lets you embrace natural beauty in a more masculine way mitigating reservations about repetitious floral profiles.

If you are not ready to invest in the expense of new furnishings or the dedication of updating walls, try traditional accent pieces such as throw pillows or curtains. You can also economically experiment with floral patterns in this manner to discover your true style before investing the big bucks into upholstery and wallpaper.

Combine non-floral prints with floral patterns for another modern perspective and unique look. This technique is another tactic to add some masculinity to the mix.

Embrace floral artwork to create stunning wall displays that complement your current décor. This solution can be implemented as cheaply or as expensively as you desire.

Lastly, bring in some real blooms. Whether utilized as your only flower component or as a complement to your other floral design concepts, live blooms bring a bright, fresh feel to any room. And if the weekly maintenance of keeping fresh flowers in the house is not appealing, consider artificial flower arrangements that will work just as hard at bringing the soft touch of florals to your space.
