Floral Wallpaper for Today

Really like the idea of floral wallpaper but feared you’ll select a pattern which will sway too traditional? Have no fear: you can easily find the ideal design in the event that you just know what to look for. Whereas customary floral wallpaper tends to feature excessively feminine rosebuds, irises and flowery vines saturated in soft pinks, purples, beiges and greens, today’s modern variations play colorways and scale to create an unconventional style for among wallpaper’s most known themes. Train your eye with the next pictures and tips to create a chic, relevant interior that is anything but yesterday’s news.

Go oversized. In case you still want to achieve that habitual feminine appearance in your paper with no feeling too early, select something larger in scale. This newspaper is both soft and contemporary.

Look for the odd. In general, traditional floral wallpaper is created using a repeat, but this custom, hand-painted wallpaper from Fromenta is apparently freshly unique at each spot.

Choose a neutral colorscheme. Obviously, flowers are obviously vibrant, therefore cutting that basic element from floral wallpaper immediately gives it an unexpected, updated quality. This paper works nicely for a co-ed toilet: It feels soft and tasteful without being overly feminine.

Look for bold colors. Yellow itself is not uncommon in conventional floral newspaper, but choosing this particular shade and using it mostly adds a funky punch and authoritative character.

Mix and fit. Should you find yourself attracted to some of the vintage-looking newspapers yet still feel wary of going ahead, select instead to pick a few of your favorites in different scales to create a playful checkerboard look.

Search for an abstract quality. This wallpaper certainly has a floral design, but it is silhouetted in areas, giving it an interesting effect. Traditional newspaper tended to be quite detailed; this abstract look is unexpected.

Dufner Heighes Inc

Find a design that is not restricted to flowers. Look for floral paper which involves branches, trees, birds, etc for a more holistic nature scene which includes elements of shock.

Simplify the motif. Instead of a busy rosebud repeat, start looking for a simplified design for a casual, playful look. The oversized scale of the Tobago design by Arte Wallpapers is contemporary and fresh.

Look for pinks using a punch. Don’t be afraid of pink floral wallpaper, but look for bold shades, like magenta or fuchsia. Softer pinks tend to go more traditional; these hues will add more spunk.

Go black and white. For a really contemporary floral paper, then strip it of colour and decide on a design in black and white. It feels strange to observe blossoms with no celebrated color, resulting in an eye-catching paper full of texture.

Choose a black backdrop. Black is barely a colour related to blossoms, so when it is mixed with a floral motif, it is entirely unexpected. When paired with a bold shade, like from the Flavor Paper by Elysian Fields, it will become uber chic.
