Full Bloom

Big blousy blooms are taking the floral design trend to new levels. The outdoors are ever more evident indoors over the past few years with biophilic design influences connecting inside space to nature. Bowls brimming with fresh flowers, dramatic arrangements of faux blossoms, and lots of indoor foliage are adding to the outdoorsy feel of urban nests.

Spring has never been more longed for than this year, a time for renewal and change. What better way to pay homage to the season of flowers than giving new life to your home with pastel blooms and bright red blossoms. When it comes to floral inspiration, just like nature, there are no rules. Think ultra-vivid wildflowers with delicate roses to bring a sense of sensuality and femininity to your bedroom.

Drape sofas with graphic flowers for a contemporary uplift or add pretty florals to your bathroom for ladylike elegance. Flowers have always taken centre stage in fashion design and beauty, the essence of scents and potions. Dial up the volume and embrace the flamboyance of blooms to add drama to your home and your wardrobe.
