Not-Your-Average Florals

Posted on April 5, 2012 by jbutler in Trendy Tips

If you had a chance to read our recent blog, Flourishing Florals, then you know that we’re big fans of the re-emerging floral craze. We’re also firm believers that florals are for everyone (yes, even you)! If you haven’t taken the plunge, then wait until you see these not-so-average florals, hand-picked by our very own creative upholstery design team. They might just change your mind about the power of flowers.

Monet, eat your heart out!

We can’t get enough of this brightly colored Monet-inspired pattern. Not your typical floral, it adds the perfect pop against the neutral bedding in our High Point Market showroom.

Straight from our High Point Market showroom.

Who said flowers had to be pink, red or purple? We’re digging these yellow blossoms against the gray foliage!

Forget pink! We're digging this yellow and gray pattern!

And how about this funky hybrid of floral and paisley? We love it!

A perfect combination!

What sort of florals are you wearing this season? We’d love to hear about them!

Spring has finally arrived and blooms are popping up everywhere…and not just outside! From the runway to what we’re cultivating for High Point Market, one thing is evident: floral is making a big comeback.

Designers across the country are using head-to-toe florals to make an important statement: you can be both bold and ladylike. And the same can be said for the household — floral is no longer just for your grandmother’s sitting room. Bold colors and contemporary patterns are bringing a fresh look to this once traditional look.

A few seasons ago, we introduced this fabulous linen floral fabric (above) along with our Dalliance collection. Feeling particularly bold? Upholster an entire sofa or chair with it. Its bright colors and large pattern will grab your guests’ attention in the best kind of way. Not ready for all-over flower power? Try throwing a few accent pillows or an ottoman with a smaller floral print into the mix. For example, these cotton throw pillows add just a touch of floral femininity to our Kerry Sofa and go great with the stripes!

Do you have a fetish for all things floral? We would love to hear how you are incorporating this revitalized trend into your own designs.
