BLOOMIN’ GORGEOUS

SAY IT WITH FLOWERS

• Use a few metres of floral fabric to re-cover chairs, hide a tatty table or make a simple window panel.

• Choose solid, simple furniture and keep your clutter to a minimum so the blooms take centre stage.

• By sticking to no more than three colours - for example: pink, green and cream, or lilac, blue and white - your scheme will look fresh and interesting.

• Break up strong patterns with plain accessories - for example, a block-colour cushion on a floral sofa.

• Candles scented with floral jasmine and rose will make a room smell as good as it looks.

• Add colour and texture with a simple arrangement of fresh or fabric blooms.

• Natural materials such as linen, muslin and calico, in classic stripes or gingham designs, sit well with florals.

HOT TIP: Contrast bold floral prints with one-colour paintwork.
