Proof That Cute Florals Can Work

I’m picky when it comes to florals. I can like just about anything, but I definitely won’t buy just about anything. If it’s too funky, too cute, too retro, too modern—I’m usually not interested. I tend to prefer floral designs that are classic but undeniably graphic.
That’s why I was surprised by my unmitigated delight at this Serena & Lily master bedroom. The floral headboard—which is essentially the room’s focal point—may be a little “too” funky and cute, but it works brilliantly, because nothing else in the room is. Everything else is crisp, stark, classic, traditional, or eclectic: crisp white sheets, stark white walls, classic black moldings, traditional trellis patterns, and eclectic accessories.
The designer has done an amazing job of making a cute floral look edgy and interesting. I’d take one of everything!
