Beautiful Botanicals: Floral Wallpaper Will Make Your Home Blossom

There's something intrinsically whimsical about flower wallpaper. Be it radiant floral designs or fanciful leafy prints, floral motifs will imbue a sense of restoration, beauty, and comfort into any setting, every time of the year, described fresh with the liveliness of spring. From vividly attractive to subtly soothing, floral wallpapers are among the most common decorations that revive the home, infusing color, warmth, and character. 

Time to discover what floral wallpaper can do for your home-from charismatic accent walls to graceful formal rooms. We'll also give you some ideas on using botanicals in a creative way in your decor and provide you with inspiration from the gorgeous collections of York Wallcoverings.

Go Bold with Accent Walls

Want to make it loud? An accent wall overstated by bright floral wallpaper brings life to an otherwise plain room. This will eventually become the focal point of your room and give to what previously plain wall a rich backdrop filled with loads of texture and energy.

Consider, for instance, a bright sea floral wall covering covered in intense pink flowers against a light green background. Finished with fresh green leaves and a few statement décor items such as a mirror, flower arrangements, or blue vases, this style can comfortably hold your room together.

Accent walls are an easy way to get bold patterns on a wall without taking over the space. Put them behind the headboard on your bed, behind the living room couch, or even a hallway to build a dramatic entryway.

Sophisticated Florals for Formal Spaces

Definitely, floral wallpaper is not supposed to be like frivols or flippancy. Though if you pick them wisely, such florals can become part and parcel of really impressive sophistication, as well as formal elegance in your home decor. Symmetrical, repeat patterns found in many floral wallpapers recall the formality of damasks or geometric prints. 

One fine example of this is a textured botanical wallpaper with soft leafy patterns in alternating rows, creating subtle stripes. Set against metallic walls, this one oozes luxury and elegance, especially when paired with matching design elements, be it modern light fixtures or dark wooden accents, or chic hardware.

It is an appropriate design style for dining areas, home offices, or entryways when you want to maintain an impression without resorting to gaudiness.

Floral Wallpaper as Art

If you consider wallpaper to be nothing more than a background feature, think again. Modern floral patterns are often indistinguishable from hand-painted works of art, so they're just as interesting as the paintings on your walls.

York Wallcoverings’ Watercolors collection by Carey Lind is a perfect example. With soft brushstroke florals and color palettes that stir emotion, these wallpapers do more than just decorate, they inspire.

For an added creative touch, try mounting a piece of your favorite wallpaper. This easy DIY trick converts wallpaper into framed artwork, providing a splash of botanical loveliness that you can quickly relocate or reconfigure as your aesthetic changes.

Subtle Florals for Everyday Elegance

It is perfectly okay for someone not to be crazy about a floral room, and if you love botanical prints but find them haughty, there's still room for florals without being overwhelming.

Seek wallpapers inspired by some original damasks with floral printed patterns embroidered on fabrics. These provide timeless, sophisticated ambiance without covering your room in color or motif. Ideal for bedrooms, powder rooms, or transitional spaces, they leave a gentle impression of nature beauty without sacrificing a timeless look. 

You may also consider neutral color schemes consider soft greys, creams, or beiges with dainty floral prints. These selections mix perfectly with most interior schemes while still maintaining that airy, fresh feel that floral wallpaper is famous for.

Customizing Your Botanical Style

When decorating your home, it's all about personalization. Floral wallpaper provides limitless possibilities ranging from giant peonies to tiny vines and can be styled to suit almost any style. BoHo-chic fabulous? Choose loose watercolor florals in warm colors. More of a traditionalist? Choose symmetrical rose motifs or classic English garden scenes.
