From vintage to modern, we have all the tips you need to style this classic print.
Shake out the muted tones of winter and embrace new-season styling. Like throwing your windows open and letting the sweet spring breeze refresh your home, our floral arrivals are totally invigorating. With our contemporary take on classic florals, we promise these aren’t your grandma’s sheets.
Bring your personal style to these timeless prints; whether you’re striving for that romantic, cottage-core aesthetic or looking to create a playful field of flowers. Transform your space into a glorious meadow with our styling tips and tricks.
Go bold and layer up your favourite prints. Instantly taking your florals from traditional to contemporary, pairing all your floral pieces together creates an on-trend effect. Have fun with colour and go for a maximalist look by putting contrasting prints together, keeping a consistent theme of flowers. Alternatively, build a romantic look by pairing floral patterns that share a colour or intensity.
Lean into the cottage-core aesthetic with stripes. Like a puffed sleeve and a picnic basket, fine stripes give a vintage feel to modern florals. Balance the two patterns to keep your look cohesive and contemporary; think thin stripes in soft colours with ditsy florals, and thick stripes in darker colours with oversized florals. The trick to pairing stripes with florals is keeping the scale of both patterns the same.
For a look that’s timeless and refined, pair back the florals with solid colours. Opt for bedlinen in a colour that makes up part of your floral print, creating a seamless backdrop for your patterned pieces. We love using our Vintage Washed Linen for this, as it provides a modern, slightly textured feel – while still allowing your floral quilt to take centre stage.
Embrace springtime with blooms for every room. Helping to keep the floral theme consistent throughout your space, we love to add blossoming moments in the kitchen. From serving bowls and gorgeous platters to sweet teacups and glassware, we have everything you need to add some sunshine to the heart of your home. Go for designs with verdant shades, as the greenery will help to ground the look.

If you’re going for a style that’s less vintage-inspired and more vibrant spring, it’s all in your choice of pattern. Steer away from soft colours and sparse designs, and opt instead for bold patterns with intense colours, absolutely stuffed with blooms. Keep the look youthful by choosing a bright colour to pair with your bold quilt cover.
Create a field of flowers that’s totally on-trend by swapping around your bedlinen styling. Rather than the standard “plain sheets and patterned quilt” look, opt instead for vibrant sheets with a bold print, paired with a crisp white quilt cover. With the bright sheets providing an unexpected pop of colour, this is a totally on trend way to style florals.
If you love to change your style often and can’t commit to a full spring makeover, opt instead for statement pieces that’ll make a floral impact. Spruce up your walls with paintings of flowers in your favourite rich tones. We love embroidered cushions to add colour, texture, and a blossoming pattern.
