Beautiful Floral Patterns and Trends for 2013

Spotlighting beautiful floral patterns for 2013. From modern abstract blooms to watercolor-inspired prints, these selections hopefully will catch you off guard in the best possible way!

You can always find a traditional pastel floral if you know where to look, but why not go with a modern twist on a classic pattern? As you scan the images below, see what catches your eye. It may not be the brightest of colors or the most abstract of designs that steal the show. Some floral pieces simply have an irresistible quality that is hard to  describe! Most of all, don’t assume that “spring florals” are a seasonal cliche.  there’s more to this style than meets the eye…

Floral Wallpaper and Curtains

We begin with  this pattern which is a ”contemporary stylized flower design with accents of colour.” And that it is!

 

Go Bold with neon ! and liven up your bathroom !

Or go romantic with these.. the amethyst tones truly set this shower curtain apart, creating a decadent look. A bronzing finish gives the piece an overall pearlized shine…

Floral Pillows

Throw pillows are the perfect way to inject a dose of floral style into your space. We’re crazy about the ikat look shown below. Dreamy abstract floral combining shades of mint, blue and cream.

Floral Bedding

I always say there’s no time like now to liven up your bedding! And why not go with a floral print?

And is there anything more refreshing than a blue and white palette, especially for transitioning to the summer?

Floral Rugs

Floral rugs can serve as the centerpiece of a room, or they can tie everything together.

This bold design and fiery hues are a true scene-stealer!

Our last rug that is wonderfully surprising with its abstract design and unconventional shape. Inspired by a walk in the garden, this piece is crafted of 100% New Zealand Wool. Whimsically gorgeous, don’t you think?…

We hope today’s post has proven that florals are not what they used to be. And that’s quite refreshing! There’s nothing like a new take on a classic concept. By going abstract, veering into retro-modern territory or being extra bold, you can make a floral statement that celebrates the latest in spring design trends!

Rich colors

 One color combination that is a sure standout: emerald green and eggplant.

Another favorite combo  Emerald green and burnt orange. While the orange shade of the chairs below is a bit more vivid than rusty, we can’t deny that green and orange are the perfect match.

Another unforgettable rich shade? Monaco Blue.

Below we see the power of Monaco Blue in a home displaying patterned wallpaper. Note the vibrant pink pillows on the bed, and the way they pop against the deep shade of the wall.
