Flowers are definitely not just a summer look. Different floral prints are incredibly popular throughout the year, both in fashion and in your home.
And during Autumn and Winter, you can use florals to create a cosy place to relax when the weather is cold and gloomy outside.
You don't have to go all out with flowery wallpaper and furniture, but injecting floral prints into your rooms is a great way to freshen up your décor.
Introducing florals into any colour scheme or style can be so easy, so here are nine tips on how to mix and match styles to create a unique, cosy and fantastic looking environment...
1) Duvet covers are a great way to inject colour into your bedroom, particularly if you have plain or white walls and furniture. A floral duvet cover can completely transform the room in an instant and is the easiest and cheapest way to redecorate as it can be switched around at different times of the year to create a new look as the seasons change. The flannelette fabric of this Katie Floral Blue Thermal Flannelette Duvet Cover Set adds an extra warmth to your bed during the colder months, and the blue design will add a pop of flora to your room without looking too summery.
2) Clash colours and styles to create a new look. Florals don't have to always be against a plain backdrop; they could be teamed with different prints, metallics and bright colours to create a stylish look. This Hummingbird Coral Duvet Cover Set has a busy print, which would look brilliant with different textured cushions such as this Chunky Knit Cushion Cover in duck egg blue.
3) If you want your florals to be seasonal, add flowered cushions, curtains and throws to a darker background. You could use navy blues and jewel tones to give your room an Autumnal feel alongside brighter florals, or go for a classic red and cream look like these Danielle cushion and curtains.
4) Flowers are a great way to add a touch of nature into your rooms too. Plants in warm colours such as burnt orange and red are fantastic for Autumn time and look brilliant arranged in different pots, jars and vases in unique shapes. You could even paint a watering can in a cream colour to display flowers for a unique up-cycled project.
5) False flowers add a different look to your room and these can be used in a variety of creative ways in your rooms. Fairy lights are perfect at this time of year for making any room in your house cosy when it's dark and gloomy outside, and floral fairy lights will add a special touch to your room. You could also use false flowers in a variety of ways for decoration around mirrors, photo frames and even in decorative jars to add colour to your rooms.
6) A floral tablecloth is a great way to brighten up your kitchen. It doesn't have to stay on your table permanently so you can mix and match your style, but a tablecloth gives a real country feel to a room, and makes it seem homely and cosy. You could go for a simple poppy print, or a bright and fun floral pattern. A wipe clean table cloth is great if you have kids as it will protect your table from any stains or marks when they're eating dinner, colouring or creating an arts and crafts masterpiece.
7) Go for muted shades of florals. At this time of the year, you may want to step away from brights and pastels in your home. The Milldale range in teal, grey and cream is the perfect way to add florals in an understated fashion.
8) Another floral look is to go for vintage inspired pieces. These Union Jack and bird on a branch cushions can add a little flora to a vintage bedroom or living room without going overboard if you're not a huge florals person. The designs are classic and timeless and will go with interchangeable décor if you like to revamp your rooms regularly.
9) Don't be afraid of adding orange to your room. It's the perfect colour for this time of the year and bringing a little orange indoors will echo the changing colours of the trees outdoors. A pop of orange can completely transform any room, especially if you like to keep things simple and understated with cream, beige and white. These Lily Floral Ring Top Eyelet curtains are fully lined, adding warmth to your house, and matching cushion covers are available to tie your room together.
There are so many ways to add florals to your home that it is easy to be creative and come up with unique combinations and styles.
