April makes the flowers and May has the thanks for that …
But who says you have to wait until next May to enjoy the seasonal blooms ?! Current floral flower designs are abundant, they celebrate fresh colors and interesting shapes.
Today we would like to introduce the most outstanding floral designs for the year 2013. These selections – from the modern abstract flowers to the watercolor-inspired print motifs – will surely catch you unprepared, and in the best possible way!
You might find traditional pastel flower designs at any time, if you know where to look, but why not try some modern variants of the beloved classic patterns? Even at retailers, which in principle tend to offer more conventional design styles, one or two items are to be found in a brand new style. As you study the pictures below, make a note of what attracts your eye. It may not be that those tips that show off the most vibrant colors or the most abstract execution are necessarily the most effective, salient, or original. Some decorative pieces with floral patterns have an irresistible quality that is hard to describe! Most importantly, do not assume that “spring flowers” have become something of a seasonal cliché. As we prove in our post, there is more to this style than you would expect at first glance …
Floral wallpapers and curtains
We start with the wallpaper Serena Natural Multi, a vital proposal from Laura Ashley. As the product description published on the stylist’s website states, this sampling is a “flower design with stylish accents stylized in contemporary fashion flavors.” And it really is! The most impressive thing, though, is the way these patterns deviate from Laura Ashley’s standard and add some retro styling to the mix!

The next offer from West Elm, the flower-patterned Siesta pillow case, is also chic and traditional. This may be due to the fact that the decorative piece is similar in appearance to a life-spattering watercolor, or to the fact that eye-catching color shades such as coral, pink and blue were used. The cushion cover is made of 100% cotton, the insert is sold separately.

Bed linen with floral motifs
It’s worth emphasizing that no time of year compares to springtime if you happen to be cleaning your bed! Why do not you consider the floral print patterns? And especially those like the unexpected designs, which the black-and-white bed linen series Marimekko Kevatesikko by Crate & Decorate barrel. This design model, designed by Erja Hirvi, is based on studies of the shape and structure of an overgrown meadow plant: Guess what it is! Yes, that’s right, it’s the cowslip. What has turned out: the good old botanical concept with a refreshingly new and modern face!

The floral duvet cover set & Comforter Calista – a slightly more simple and stylized line compared to the rest of Pottery Barn’s typical range – is made from a blend of cotton and linen. The design conjures both the charm of a floral patterned scarf and the particle symmetry of the mosaic pictures. And can anything at all be more vitalizing than the color palette in blue and white, especially when the transition to summer is the order of the day?

Floral decorated carpets

Let’s just say that the pieces of decoration shown here are more likely to belong to the type that is meant for the center … Welcome cordially ÅKERKULLA – a new design by IKEA. On the one hand, this low-pile rug is characterized by a folksy, traditional look, but on the other by bold outlines and shapes that emphasize the carpet designer’s sensitivity to modern expressions.

It’s almost impossible to ignore the appeal of CB2’s botanical carpet in burnt orange, especially as its bold design and fiery colors are real enticements!

We hope to have shown with our contribution that floral designs are far from what they once were. And such a statement is really inspiring! Nothing can cheer up as much as the new variant of a classic concept. By opting for very abstract proposals, digressing into the territory of retro fashion or preferring extra bold designs, you can hold a true floral celebration that matches the latest design trends of spring!
