Introduce fresh flowers with Freddie’s Flowers
Fresh flowers are a wonderful addition to any interior. You can choose flowers that complement your existing wall colour to update your scheme throughout the seasons and create an intriguing pop of colour. Read expert guidance from Freddie at Freddie’s Flowers to choose the perfect florals for your schemes this spring-summer.
Freddie writes: “We're just coming into peony season and peonies are the perfect flowers to make your home look fabulous this spring. They come in a huge range of glorious colours: from the deep velvety reds of a Belgravia peony, to the raspberry peach of a coral Coral Sunset. For something a little prettier and more classical, either a soft pink Sarah Bernhardt or a Gardenia peony with its fluffy white petals and just a hint of pink. Simply stunning!”
“For something more architectural, you could go for a combination of stocks and alliums. I love stocks and their fragrant cinnamon scent, and alliums with their globe shaped heads always remind me of the lollipops from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They're great fun!”
Our favourite floral wallpapers
Floral wallpapers have real timeless appeal. They have been used in interior design for generations, and have an inherent ability to feel endlessly fresh, contemporary and calming in the modern home. To form a connection with the outdoors, you could choose a floral wallpaper that depicts an inviting, natural landscape, creating a scheme with a tranquil, restorative atmosphere. A botanical mural like Capricorn, Upper Brook St, Achillea or Bird & Bluebell works wonderfully here, perfectly suited to a spacious bathroom or living room, or to create a really inspiring study space.
