This year graphic flower designs, delicate prints and
colour-saturated inspiration has arrived straight from the catwalks
of fashions hothouses and into our homes!

The Bright and the beautiful

Decorating with fashion florals is one of the hottest interior design
trends right now, but don't be fooled into thinking that botanical
beauty is only for colour lovers, soft paisley prints and sophisticated
simple patterns are just as in favour as the flamboyant, juicy shades of
our favourite blooms!

Go 'Floor'al and give your toes a tactile treat...

Leafy patterns and statement block colours lend themselves to light,
neutral colour schemes and go especially well with light and dark
wood flooring and furniture. A great rug is one of the easiest ways to
invite floral brights into an otherwise neutral space. Create a clean,
modern look by choosing a sumptuous 'apple tree' green rug or
make a room even sunnier with the injection of a brightly coloured
floral design.

Design Tip
Pressing matters for your interior

To create your own botanical wall art, press
flowers from your garden and frame them.

Bloomin' Lovely

Get creative with your wall coverings. Try paisley prints for a
statement wall that won't scare the menfolk or get involved with
interiors new love – the striking wall sticker. Now available in
hundreds of beautiful designs, wall stickers and floral stencils are the
perfect addition to a bright block colour or neutral wall space. Add a
quick colour fix to children's bedrooms by picking up cheap
wallpaper borders, the beauty being you can change them as quickly
as the seasons.

Indian Summer — Heat up your Bedroom

Drench rooms with Bollywood brights and exotic blooms in
clashing, jewel like colours. Passionate and punchy, this fashion
forward trend is perfect for creating a rich, luxurious feel to
any bedroom. Not for colourphobes, choose a striking wallpaper and
balance with simple bed frame and crisp, white bedding. Choose
accessories such as lampshades and cushions in clashing hues for
maximum effect.

Wrap it up

Not quite brave enough for big statement floral pieces? Why not add
quirky Cath Kidson inspired extras such as pretty tablecloths or
decorated tins for storage? Try wrapping luxurious ribbon in the
colour of your favourite blooms around basket handles or wardrobe
door – helping add a little personality to any room in your house.
