The upward trend of floral patterns, from pretty and polite to striking and bold, and their ability to instantly transform an interior space has caught the eye of many homeowners this season. Floral accents add a bright touch of color and effortlessly blend with many designs, from traditional to contemporary. For instance, floral accents can provide a soft contrast to sleek and modern designs. No matter your design style, it’s easy to breathe some fresh life into your home with a floral area rug, floral wall art, a floral accent chair, or other floral home accessories.

Popular Prints

Floral and botanical prints can make quite a statement, and it’s easy to find a pattern or application that suits your design aesthetic. Here are some of our favorites this season:

• Florals on florals, with a mix of saturated colors, can make a bold statement in Boho or other eclectic spaces.
• Simple palm-leaf patterns or large print flower wall art can suit more minimalistic styles.
• Dark florals can make a bold and unique statement and are becoming increasingly popular.
• Fresh foliage will amplify the fresh effect of your flowery home decor. When done right, it lends three-dimensional character and plenty of texture and interest to your home.
• Black and white prints are a great way to add a modern touch to your space. This color palette feels both masculine and feminine and helps incorporate your florals in a more subtle way.
• Floral patterns set against darker backgrounds are trendy this year. The masculine touch that the black gives a floral print is unmatched.

Dainty Details

The simplest way to start incorporating bold floral accents into your space is by starting small, such as adding a centerpiece of fresh cut flowers in a decorative vase. Throw pillows are another simple yet effective way of adding color and dimension to your room. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns—floral prints play well with geometric shapes like stripes and serve to lighten the overall look.

Rugs are simple to change out to make a dramatic shift in your decor, so consider rotating two or three rugs in your living room throughout the year. Bright, playful rugs can be paired with solid-color or minimal-pattern contemporary furniture. More muted patterns or prints will work best if your room already has several bold focal points.

If you’re in love with all things floral, consider creating a statement wall by applying a favorite floral wallpaper print. You can create a similar, but less permanent, effect by choosing large floral wall art or several floral art prints.

Floral Furniture

If you’re ready to wade a little deeper into floral decorating, add larger furniture statement pieces with a bold floral print. These pieces will make a big impact while adding extra seating and style to your living room, home office, entry or in your master bedroom spaces. To avoid visual clutter, choose a flower motif that best complements your home's decor style and highlights only one to two hues across the space. Draping a throw blanket over your statement piece will accentuate its colors while creating a homier feel.

Spring Scents

Scent is such a strong element and adding a fresh scent into your home is a great way to change the ambiance. Look for scented candles in the lavender or pink rose scent to heighten the floral facade in your space.

It is not surprising that floral patterns are here to stay due to their versatility and fresh effect in your home. Consider incorporating any of the beautiful floral accent decor ideas above to simply transform your home this spring.
