Using Floral Fabric in Interiors

Cheerful and inviting, there’s a floral fabric to suit every home.

7th July 2025

Floral fabrics have long been a staple in interiors. They offer timeless style that is both charming and eye catching.

The beauty of florals is that they bring interiors to life. They bridge the gap between your indoor space and the outdoors. Every house, no matter its style, should have these uplifting patterns within them. Whether soft and charming or bright and bold, they pair with a range of other fabrics, too. Discover some of our favourite designs and see how you can use them in your own home, below.

Frame Outdoor Views with Floral Curtains and Blinds

Use pretty patterns at your window and watch your space blossom.

Make florals the star of the show by using them on curtains or blinds. Don’t be afraid to use large-scale designs to make a lasting impression! Pay homage to the outdoors with charming woodland scenes or block prints. Mix in other patterns such as pretty checks and stripes for a curated feel. Spotted designs also pair well with florals and offer a contemporary edge.

Consider Your Colour Palette

Florals can have different effects on your space, depending on the shades you use.

As a general rule, use a palette of three or four colourways. Why not try refreshing pinksverdant greens, and even butter yellows together? Light and airy tones can give florals a country cottage-inspired feel. These are perfect for kitchens and bedrooms. Richer, more saturated hues can have a maximalist effect, which work well in living areas. Mix shades of the same colour, such as a vibrant fuschia with a petal pink. Green suits a range of room schemes, too.

Use Texture to Bring Florals to Life

Florals truly come into their own when combined with textured fabrics.

Use nature-inspired designs such as beautifully embroidered florals. Present on a sofa or armchair with coordinating scatter cushions. Using woven fabric for upholstery creates a cosy seating area. Pair with printed florals to add visual interest. Floral embroidered stripes can add luxury to more pared back schemes. They look particularly striking on blinds and curtains, too, creating a focal point.

Complement Floral Fabrics with Embellishments and Accessories

From pretty trimmings to foliage, complete your scheme with these finishing touches.

Decorative trims such as pom poms and tassels give curtains that extra flair. Use ruffle edges and contrast trims on cushions for added impact. Don't limit florals to your soft furnishings either. Add in arrangements of freshly picked flowers that coordinate with your fabrics. Match with trinket dishes, vases, and bobbin-trimmed furniture for a playful feel.
