FLORALS AHOY

Actor Jacqueline Fernandez’s house has a cozy little space, seems like her reading zone, that has charming English florals meeting the eye. Who wouldn’t want to incorporate that, right? “Don’t go all over with the print. An ottoman or an easy chair or single seater in florals works well as an accent in the house,” says interior designer and architect Subhashish Mandal. “You can also bring the fabric in a lampshade or cushions for the main solid sofa. The easiest way to add vintage florals to your home is with curtains,” he adds.

One of the biggest applications of English florals comes in upholstery, but make sure you pick large prints — the roses, paisleys and foliage. If it isn’t large it doesn’t come out beautifully. SUBHASHISH MANDAL
