Decor: Is floral the new black?

Posted 03/24/2009 by Rachel in Decor \ 3 comments

Hi there! I daydream about interior design and color combinations, so subsequently I'm always wanting to redecorate my house (which drives my husband crazy)! I love my husband and our 4 dogs, working in a creative field, a good laugh, and a great margarita. ;-)

It seems like everywhere I look lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of floral prints.  Not just the geometric or retro kind, but the big cabbage-rose kind, the more traditional kind.  I’m not sure if it has something to do with the economy, with people choosing more traditional looks, or if it’s just another example of “what goes around comes back around”.

So what do you think?  Do you love them or hate them?

    I do love that last pillow. It’s so retro pretty. I love the colors.

    I have a love/hate relationship with floral. I can appreciate in small doses, but feel overwhelmed when an entire room is floral. Really like the top right image.
