Decorating With Florals

Traditional Florals

Classic patterns are just right for those who love feminine, muted tones and delicate blooms—and the vintage feel that they evoke. An elaborate rose-bouquet print on a broad expanse conjures fairy-tale grandeur. But you don’t have to go that far: Tiny buds on a bedside lamp shade or a quilt bring the same sort of enchantment without sending the message “No boys allowed.” Switching up the palette with saturated colors makes old-fashioned blooms look current.
