Incorporating Floral Patterns into your design scheme
What do you do to ensure the patterns you’re incorporating into your home fit your design scheme? It is never good to feel out of place in your own home and with a design that doesn’t fit you it's likely that could happen. Floral designs are sometimes difficult to incorporate into a space. Here are some tips for the perfect methods to use next time you’re looking to add floral patterns into your home!
Balance
How many times have you walked into a room and felt overwhelmed by the amount of colors and patterns? When looking at the grand scheme of a design it’s easy to get a bunch of bold attractive pieces and patterns but when it’s put all together it doesn’t work at all. With floral patterns this is often an issue. It’s important to think about the design accessories before you start making any major decisions. The perfect way to add a nice touch while maintaining balance with floral patterns is to incorporate them into things like curtains, throw pillows, blankets, artwork, rugs, upholstery, etc. It’s also key to make sure the colors within the floral patterns and accessories fit your taste. Then use the colors in those pieces to accent the main items of furniture in the room.
Style
Your style is a representation of you! There is an array of different types of floral patterns that range from traditional, whimsical, or even contemporary. The first step to figuring out what best suits you and your space is deciding which type of floral pattern catches your eye the most. When adding floral patterns the way you incorporate them will likely vary depending on your personal style. If you want a bigger, bolder statement it's likely you will have bold furniture and design statements to follow like a floral accent wall or even furniture with a floral pattern. If you aren’t looking for such a bold statement, however, a floral design element may be a smaller yet eye-catching piece like artwork, or even some throw pillows.
Keep it Neutral
Do you ever feel out of place within a space? Certain floral patterns/elements can make a space feel unwelcoming to different people. For example, someone's husband may not necessarily like the floral patterns being incorporated in their home because they can have a strong feminine touch to them. If this is a problem for you in your space you can avoid this by creating a style that isn’t overly feminine by: not having a bunch of big, bright floral patterns, using abstract floral patterns without as much intricate detail, or having colors that are more muted rather than bold and bright.
