With a wide variety of styles and patterns available, follow our tips to create a successful scheme, whether working with over-sized prints or more simple florals, be careful to pick the right balance of pattern and colour. Choose a strong print as the focus of your scheme and then use plain colours and textures that will compliment your choice of pattern to unify the room.

HOW TO MAKE IT WORK

•Combine simple florals with plain, co-ordinating fabrics to give a cohesive look to a scheme.

•Mixing vibrant hues and softly drawn florals will compliment both minimal interiors and more traditional rooms.

•Dramatic over-sized florals are shown at their best when used sparingly on one or two pieces in an otherwise plain setting.

•Set strong pattern against an equally vibrant background, ensuring the colours are taken from the same palette for a harmonious interior.
