Still life

Vintage is the new modern, and there’s nothing that says granny chic quite like a bold floral print. But this season’s vintage styling has a glamorous edge that takes this classic look from dowdy to howdy. Aurora is a painterly velvet that blends soft and subtle colours in the style of an old master. We’ve chosen Aurora Ember curtains for this rustic dining room. This deliciously decadent print combines delicate tones of blush, primrose and vanilla with earthy browns and ochre.

Go wild

Tropical prints are still the darlings of the interiors world, as they bring such a riot of lush pattern, energising colour and exuberant style to your look. They’re great for pepping up a neutral scheme, especially if you want to dip your toe into the maximalist look without going all out for clashing colour and pattern. In this open plan space, the outdoors-in feel is echoed in the forest green curtains and lush greenery.

Even scandi prints have taken a dark turn, with illustrative florals in sweet shades of pink, putty and ochre set against a background of dusky lilac. This bold take on traditional scandi styling brings a new level of sophistication to this classic folksy print, making it an ideal choice for every room. For bedroom schemes, choose curtains or Roman blinds with a blackout lining to help create the perfect environment for sleep.

To the max

If you’re ready to embrace modern maximalism, then bold florals are a must. Pair moody floral prints with dark walls and luxe textures. To keep your look on track, clash patterns and style genres, but stick to a consistent colour palette. In this deeply glamorous bedroom, a palette of inky black with pops of pink, lilac and ochre bring the whole look together.
