VINTAGE FLORALS

Immerse yourself in the prettiest florals this summer by incorporating vintage prints and accessories in the home. Timeless designs such as Catherine Lansfield’s ‘Canterbury’ bedding bring both elegance and a subtle splash of colour to any space. I love the classic floral design of this bedding set; the beautiful large bouquets create an effortless bedroom update.

One of the easiest ways to bring a vintage floral theme to any room is with the addition of soft furnishings such as cushions and throws. Joe Browns has managed to blend vintage vibes with luxurious styling with its collection of floral cushions. The reversible ‘Velvet Vintage Floral Print’ cushion features fabulous florals on the front and a bespoke pattern on the back. The pretty piping on the cushion adds the perfect dose of classic charm.

MODERN FOLK

Add instant character to the home this summer with folk-inspired art and textiles. I’ve fallen a little bit in love with Joe Browns’ ‘Folk Floral Dinner Plates’; the bold colours and flower design bring a vibrant, folky feel to the dining room. Compliment them with a patterned table cloth and small posies of wild flowers for a whimsical summer table setting.

For those who prefer a bolder décor statement, why not transform the bedroom with Furn’s ‘Folk Flora Floral Reversible Duvet Cover Set’. This striking set will bring a modern, characterful feel to the bedroom.

COUNTRY COTTAGE

Create a cosy, traditional feel in the home this summer without breaking the bank; adding just a couple of smaller items to a room can help update a space. Country cottage décor is so easy to achieve with soft furnishings such as cushions. I love Cotton Traders’ ‘Country Meadow Embroidered Cushion’; the delicate meadow flowers will bring a touch of the countryside to the living room or bedroom.

The kitchen is the perfect space to incorporate country cottage décor; display kitchen utensils for a rustic ‘lived in’ look, hang copper pots from a rail for instant character and store everyday cooking essentials in vintage enamelware or stoneware pots. Living Nostalgia’s ‘French Grey Domed Cake Tin’ is the perfect addition to any kitchen worktop or cupboard; wonderfully traditional in style, it oozes country cottage charm.
