A Little About......Florals



All floral prints are not as garish as some would believe, especially for wallpaper.
With the development of design and print a lot of things have been brought along for the ride and I am happy to say that the floral print is one of them.
 
Romantic Florals by NoNo Wallpaper
A large bold floral from the likes of Nono wallpaper, for example, with their Romantic Florals, would be perfect for someone who likes the styling’s of the pop art movement, on the other hand , if a collection with a tiny, intricate detail then look no further than the Kerala by Dulux.

With floral wallpaper, you do have to be fussy on what you choose, although you may like a specific paper, you really do want it to be the best it can possibly be, but don’t let this put you off.

For a smaller room, for example, look  to larger and more open prints but you don’t want to go too over the top with colour, try the subtle pastel tones of the Arizona, part of the Hot house collection, by Osborne & Little.
The dulled hot pink tones will definitely add depth and warmth, and would be a great colour to build your soft furnishings around.

Sticking with Osborne & little for this one, if you do fancy a bold and really eye catching look, then take a glance at their Sariskar Collection designed by Henry Wilson.
This bold and abstract design will really stand out as the talking point of any room.

So next time you are thinking of a possible floral motif within your home, don’t let your head rule your heart, there is more to florals than meets the eye.
