Lay a floral rug
There are other ways to display oversize floral prints. Apart from using wallpapers, consider laying floral area rugs too. This rug from Portess is clean and simple, but it turned out as a bold addition to this living room. The rug design seems old-fashioned, but the furniture pieces and design make the room look up-to-date. Also, this light teal colour of the rug and sofa is a contemporary colour that’s soft to look at.

Design a blooming bathroom
We found this limited edition 3D mosaic tile made of stone from Tile Buys and we think that it’s an awesome addition to your bathroom walls. As you can see, there are small roses embossed on the tile. It’s not an oversize floral, but when used on the walls, these tiles create a statement that you’ll enjoy while bathing or taking a shower.

Use florals as a bed frame
To make a feature wall in the bedroom, consider laying floral wallpaper above the bed. Let it frame the headboard. Strategically place the biggest flowers in the bottom, near the bed. When you do this, you highlight the bed and the floral wallpaper also becomes a frameless artwork.
PS: We love the idea that the floral wallpaper looks like a painting.
Accentuate with metal
The thing with florals is that it works well with metal accents. Go and pair it with brass, gold, chrome, rose gold, and copper. As the floral wallpaper highlights the wall, the metallics add extra drama to the design.
PS: Recognise the wallpaper? Yes, it’s the same wallpaper used in other featured photos. Here, the designers used it as a background of a cozy corner seating.
Create a cozy corner
A bold floral wallpaper can ground a certain part of an open-plan space, which separates it from the rest of the room. Use a comfy chair to make this sitting corner more special.
Create a sophisticated background
We found this wallpaper which features roses that are larger than life. We think this floral wallpaper design from Murals Wallpaper UK is an opulent addition to a minimalist bedroom or an empty hallway. It is flexible for it comes in a beautiful grey colour. Jazz it up with a few pops of bright colours or keep it simple.
