“Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.” So said Miranda Priestley in that famous scene from The Devil Wears Prada.
Groundbreaking or not, floral home decor is one of the hero trends of Spring/Summer 2016 and has confidently made its way from the runway into the living room. While florals have acquired something of a bad rep in decor circles over the years, they’re back in fashion this season as the perfect way to inject a pop of colour and freshness into your living space. Reimagined in vintage pastels or saturated contrasting colours via patterned wallpapers, upholstery, furniture or decor accents, there’s no doubt that the floral trend is blooming booming!
The most obvious way to tap into the floral trend is via floral fabrics. Inject a dose of prettiness into your living room via daintily printed curtains or an accent couch. If that’s too much floral for you, opt for some seriously pretty cushions to accent a solid love seat or chair. Freshly cut flowers always add a happy vibe to a room but they don’t last very long, so the next best thing is faux floral arrangements in high-quality silk that look beyond amazing. Then there’s also floral art. India Circus has some great wall art pieces that you can introduce into your living room. The key thing to remember is not going overboard.
