Calico. Paisley. Chintz. Toile de Jouy. Liberty. There\u2019s certainly nothing new about florals in design, but revamped (and restyled) iterations made headlines in the world of interiors for 2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/span>D\u00e9cor Aid editors note:<\/i><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u201cThis classic decorating trend has been around since the beginning of time, but for [this] year, florals have been thoroughly refreshed and modernized. Decorators expect to find exaggerated proportions, playful scales, and contrasting colors to make this timeless decor pattern feel refreshed.\u201d Invite the great outdoors into any room in your home with garden-fresh floral motifs of all sorts: We\u2019ve outlined easy ways to incorporate the beloved design element through patterns, adornments, embroideries, and art.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the Ground Up<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
When it comes to decorating with florals, plastering rooms with grandmother\u2019s wallpaper isn\u2019t the only strategy for a statement-making look\u2026 especially for the pattern-shy. \u201cIf swathing an entire wall in flowers feels overwhelming, take it to a less permanent surface. An eye-catching rug with big florals can provide the same vivid impact in a room with less design commitment,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>says Decorist\u2019s Dickson Wong.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nourison, one of our preferred family-founded brands, offers a floral-print rug for every aesthetic and mood. Take the traditional route with their luxurious\u00a0<\/span>Ivory Area Rug<\/a><\/span>, which depicts scrolling vines, flowers, and palmettes handmade from thick, lustrous New Zealand wool and pure silk accents. For an au courant approach, look to selections from Nourison\u2019s glamorous \u201cModern Elegance\u201d collection: This\u00a0<\/span>graphic black and white covering<\/a><\/span>\u00a0turns a charming Art Deco floral print into a sophisticated focal point.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Budding Embellishments<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Add instant visual interest to any space with tactile decor and furnishings \u2014 after all, florals truly come to life in 3-D form.\u00a0<\/span>Uttermost\u2019s elegant Dellen Buffet Lamp<\/a><\/span>\u00a0delivers the same subtle beauty as a simple bouquet, with its delicately carved flower accents and matching linen drum shade. In the market for more glitz? Light the way with the\u00a0<\/span>Ottoline Chandelier by Currey & Company<\/a><\/span>. The eye-catching fixture is crafted from iron with a polished brass finish, and each of the eight bulbs is framed in blooming petals that are coated in a black bronze patina.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Boldest Blooms<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Freshome\u2019s Michelle Honeyager details<\/a><\/span>: \u201cOne way to use large floral prints is to combine them with a neutral color scheme and somewhat minimalistic design. Choosing to decorate an area in predominantly white or brown shades means the florals themselves can pop. They also don\u2019t have to compete with other bright colors or textures.\u201d Let large-scale floral pieces shine by making them the center of attention. This\u00a0<\/span>Cynthia Rowley for Hooker Furniture desk<\/a><\/span>\u00a0is no wallflower: The handcrafted writing table is stamped with a vibrant allover floral print signature to the NYC fashion designer.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ultimately, the most foolproof way to feature florals in your decor is with colorful works of art. Paragon, a Stowers favorite, purveys an extensive range of eye-catching nature prints, from\u00a0<\/span>traditional botanical illustrations<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>watercolor geraniums<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>picturesque French landscapes<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>splashy abstract paintings<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
