Karen McCartney pored over Pinterest to find her favourite florals, from a tiled bathroom to a decorative chair. If you love this trend, jump on board with a fresh Spring look - find more inspiration on our Florals Pinterest board.



The trend in floral wallpaper is all about scale - big scale. Dark floral wallpaper by Ellie Cashman has enormous visual energy combined with an old fashioned beauty. A simple white floor and neutral accessories know not to compete. (Right) There is something incredibly appealing about this simple modernist chair that looks as though it has been decoupaged. Somehow the fact that it has an unexpected black base adds to its enormous charm. Pair that with its positioning in a white room for extra impact. Image - La Maison Pujol.



It is impossible to look at this staircase without putting a smile on your face - there is such joy in every decorated step. The narrowness of the lightly painted white walls makes the ascent all the more intriguing. What could possibly be waiting at the top? (Right) Very Bloomsbury indeed. Dusty tones of faded beauty in washed out apricots, blue and soft celadon green. The brave can opt for some wall art to complete the look.



OK I admit there is a lot going on here but what is so surprising is that the skill of the combinations makes it really work. Scale, pattern, colour and the collision of the printed world and real world flowers creates an exciting dynamic. Not for the faint hearted. (Right) This flower mosaic designed by Bisazza tiles creates the ultimate in modern day luxury meets old-fashioned blooms. The prettiness of the pink roses in grand scale makes for a wall treatment that is both impactful and soft.



Wallpapers really are bringing sunshine into the home. Here the juxtaposition of the small repeating pattern, the white painted floor and the Ercol seat evokes a fresh take on country styling. Wisteria blossom wallpaper by Sanderson. (Right) A great play on fake flowers where silk and plastic flowers were used to create 'wall paper' in a Swedish cafe. Welcome spring with a panel of paper in any room or banish the winter blues with a cheerful injection of trompe l'oeil. Image via Apartment Therapy.



Sometimes impact is subtle - the well-placed but surprising addition to a room speaks volumes . Here in the elegance of architectural arches a high-backed chair is covered in a beautiful floral motif. Placement within the room is everything as its charm is diminished if placed against a wall! (Right) Tap into your inner gypsy with layers of pretty pastel quilts. It is a carefree styling exercise in mix and match with garlands of fake flowers woven around the iron bedhead and a light printed fabric pinned up to create a canopy. I suspect there is a floral scented candle in there too for the full sensory experience.
