After decades of floral patterns being plowed under in interior design, they are blossoming again in many spaces. Wallcoverings, upholstery, draperies, and bedding have all returned to showing floral patterns.
Why you ask?
In a recent Wall Street Journal article cleverly titled “Fleur to Ceiling,” writer Yelena Moroz Alpert, suggested that “after decades as pattern non grata, floral motifs are budding again in interior design—letting the Covid-weary and technology fatigued bring ‘nature’ indoors.” The late Mario Buatta, legendary interior decorator selected in Architectural Digest’s Top 100, loved floral chintz fabrics so much he became known as The Prince of Chintz. He was friend of Decorating Den Interiors and used to attend many of our events. He’d be heralding today’s return of flower power in spaces.
The floral draperies complimented with solid coloured accessories create a beautiful calming family room.
Wallcovering on one wall can provide both a gorgeous focal point along with a contrast to other non-patterned décor. One of our LIVV Home Collection wallcovering suppliers reports they had a more than a 200% growth in floral wallcovering sales in the last two years.
We saw more and more florals in upholstered furnishing as we went through the most recent Home Furnishings Market in High Point, N.C.
The Covid home-boundness certainly made us reconsider our home environment. Florals create a welcoming and cozy feeling. Who doesn’t like to look out the window in the morning and see new flowers in bloom? Many of us have returned to the workplace. Why not come home to a bouquet of flowers?
