Florals are HUGE right now…literally and figuratively. Floral patterns are popping up in everything from apparel to home decor. The most popular florals seem to be the bold, oversized options- the antithesis of the Laura Ashley florals from the 90s. Definitely a statement pattern.

I am not personally a floral person when it comes to my clothes. I can admire
and appreciate floral apparel on other people, I just think I don’t look very
good in them. I prefer to stick to my
striped and solid clothing. I incorporate flowers a bit more in my home- the
pillow shams for my bedding, a subtle tone on tone floral pattern covering my sunroom sofa-but I
am cautious with them. This is my
personal taste which may be entirely different from yours. When a client wants to use florals, I have a
great time working the pattern into the plans for their space. In fact, PDR is a deal for a company synonymous with iconic floral designs- Dorothy Draper Company. That’s the beauty of my job- I can appreciate
something without having to use it in my own life.

If you weren’t keen on last week’s post
about geometrics, this pattern is probably more your
speed. Here are the perks we see of florals in your home-
-Floral patterns are a great choice to break up a space that has a lot of solids or linear patterns- read: masculine.
-You get a floral, you get a floral, you get a floral! There is a floral for every kind of design style. The options are endless in flower patterns when it comes to color saturation and type of pattern (dainty and small, large and bold, frilly and feminine). I'm positive you could find one to suit your preferences.
-They make people happy. Florals evoke a feeling of springtime, a season everyone loves after being cooped up all winter.
As with all pattern options, there are some drawbacks-
-Florals can make a room feel overly feminine if you aren't careful.
-This pattern can feel very trendy and quickly date a room. Choose wisely when you incorporate a floral pattern into your home.
-Some floral patterns are busy and they may not be the right fit for your home,
Are you team floral??
