Not so long ago, I would have confidently told you that I'd never decorate with floral patterns in my home. I found most designs to be far too pretty, delicate, and twee for taste, which leans much more classical than country-chic. But lately, I've found florals (the pattern, not the plants) being used in ways that feel far less cliché — cool, even.
As someone who likes to continuously retune and refine my style (and the style of my home as a result), I set about on a quest to discover what exactly it was about these interiors that made the floral patterns look much more design-forward. Is it about choosing the right color? The scale of the floral pattern itself? Or perhaps where and how the pattern trend was applied? Perhaps it was all of the above?
