Some patterns are a timeless addition to any space. The key is balancing out your patterns so they don’t feel Victorian, dowdy, or dated. When it comes to the size of the florals, abstract floral prints are a more modern take on the trend. Big floral prints are great for an accent wall, and smaller floral prints are best for accent items like pillows. Neutral prints, when it comes to color, are much more modern and versatile. Bold florals are better suited for an accent item.
Key Takeaways:
- Using the right design techniques, floral patterns can work in both retro and modern spaces.
- An accent wall using a bold floral-patterned wallpaper is one way to enhance a contemporary space.
- For a modern vibe, pair floral patterned vases and pillows with solid colored walls and bedspreads.
“If your floral print is of a larger scale, you’ll want to design the rest of the room to have a clean look using solid colors so that nothing clashes with the floral print.”
