It can be a bit intimidating trying to decorate your home with a floral pattern, but it can be done and look fabulous. If you’re not sure about flower patterns, you can always start with a subtle one, but if you really want to go all out, try a bolder floral pattern that really draws attention.
Before you start decorating with any type of floral pattern in your home, read the tips below to get the most style out of your home.
Use the floral pattern to build the color scheme for the room
When you choose a pattern to decorate, you have an instant color scheme for the room. Take the color of the background in your flower pattern and make it the color of the walls. If you have a bold floral print, then you can take a different route and use one of the accent colors in the print for the wall color.
When you choose the floral pattern for a room, there are numerous color schemes to choose from, and best of all, they’re right in front of you. All you have to do is play around with the colors a bit.
Balance the floral pattern with solid colored items
When decorating with a floral pattern, you need to make sure that you balance the pattern in the room. If you have a floral print on your sofa, look for cushions in solid colors to balance out the pattern.
Try to strike a balance that works for the room and your taste. Some people may find they like the print better, while others may choose to have little touches of the print in the room. Be especially sure to follow this tip if you’re working with a bold floral pattern. Less is more.
Mix the Floral Print with Other Prints
Despite what you may think, floral prints can be mixed with other patterns in a room. The key is to have colors that accent each other and are in the same shades. For example, a floral print would look great with a check or gingham print in a country-style room. You can even combine flowers with stripes too.
Don’t feel like you’re strictly limited to just flowers when it comes to patterns in your home, but make sure the patterns blend well with the style of the room.
Artwork is an easy way to add a floral pattern to a room
One of the easiest ways to add a floral pattern to any room is to hang artwork on the walls. A collection of flower portraits or images is a great way to decorate a large, empty wall. You can also choose a single large floral piece for the wall as a centerpiece. Choose frames and doilies for the artwork that match the style you are striving for in the room.
Decorating your home with floral prints doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult to do. Remember these tips and be creative and you can have a wonderful room that is bright and in full bloom.
