loving big, bold florals

As a designer, you tend to find your own style which is reflected in your house. I'm a typical example of this. But lately I find myself wanting to go crazy at home with big, beautiful, bold and bright florals. I'm not sure this will happen (husband handbrake, BIG florals are not for the fainted hearted) but let me show you a few things I love, or would love to put in my home.

Surface View UK have a stunning range of wall furnishings and definitely worth a look-see. I can't draw myself away from their Royal Academy of Arts collection, based on timeless classic art pieces - in particular this one entitled Spring, Oil on Canvas, by Mary Moser ca. 1780. This can be purchased in various forms - made to order wallpaper, murals, posters and framed canvases. Below I've teamed a classic white sofa, modernist chrome arc lamp and occassional table with a Spring feature wall. Loving it.

Florals seem to be everywhere it's just deciding how brave you can be with the use of them. The floral palette does not have to be bright, there are certainly some beautiful soft hues around. Perhaps opt for a less permanent touch, through the use of accessories, to start - bedding, rugs, art, scatter cushions and ceramics. Check out some of my favourite finds: Luxotic Tropicana Quilt, white Bird of Paradise rug and MM Linen Flora bedding.

Go on, have some fun, remember spring is on our doorstep...
