Winter florals

Feminine designs get a dramatic makeover with moody tones

-

Add tone on tone

Paint walls in a dark, dusky hue picked up from a statement piece of wall art. This shade of rich aubergine adds drama to a hallway.

Play with scale

Supersize a favourite floral print and repeat it on a floor-to-ceiling mural for the wow factor in a living room, bedroom or home office.

Offset traditiona­l with contempora­ry

Contrast classic florals in petrol blue tones with smart, black dining furniture and a low-hanging industrial-style pendant.

Mix blowsy with brutalist

Complement a large-scale wallpaper design in a cloakroom with raw concrete fittings and a distressed vanity unit.

Pair florals in different shades

Embrace maximalist style by pairing a dark wallpaper with a contrastin­g fabric print on upholstery.

Use plains to balance prints

Scenic panels are the big wallpaper trend, while casual stonewashe­d bedding and a wool-mix throw work as foils to this vibrant design.
