When many people think of floral design they think of stuffy Laura Ashley prints, but florals don’t have to be boring and traditional. Today’s modern floral decor can be fun, colorful, vibrant and dramatic.

From wallpaper to textiles and accessories to window treatments, florals are a great way to incorporate what we love best about nature but without the sneezing and wheezing for those who love flowers, but not seasonal allergies!

Floral Walls

If you are ready to take the plunge, wallpaper is the way to go. For a more traditional floral design look, go with smaller repeat patterns and for a modern look, try bolder and larger prints. Not on board with the time, work and long-term commitment of wallpaper, then removable wall stencils are the choice for you. In addition, if you like the look of floral wallpaper, but can’t or don’t want to cover your entire walls, consider using wallpaper remnants.

A very modern way of incorporating floral design into your decor is with a bold rug. Go with a monochromatic bold print for a trendy way to use florals. Another choice, if you own your own home, is to create a stencil painted floral floor, like in this example from Royal Design Studios.
