Decorating a Living Room in a Floral Theme

by itchyfish

A floral theme is a popular when decorating any space in the home, and it is ideal for the living room. It is a classic theme that can be elegant, contemporary, or even whimsical, and it will never go out of style. Try these easy and affordable ideas for decorating a living room in a floral theme, and make bouquets of flowers and the beautiful colors of their blooms the highlight of the home.

Fewer Flowers are Better When Decorating in a Floral Theme

When decorating a living room in a floral theme, do not fill the space with blooms from floor to ceiling. Fewer accessories are better than a living room that is overflowing. When too many decorating accessories are used, none of them will appear impressive, if they are noticed at all. Floral highlights and a few high-quality pieces look better overall. Also, the chosen items and the way in which they are presented should largely depend upon the decorating style of the living room. These ideas will not work for every style, but they can be altered to fit almost any design and decorating preference.

Decorating a Floral Living Room with Wall Color

Green is the color of foliage, and it is a fantastic choice for decorating living room walls with a floral theme. To create a welcoming and calming feel in the living room, select a soft shade of green. Absolutely any flower chosen to embellish the space will coordinate well with the walls. In addition, decorating walls in a lighter hue will make the living room appear more open than if the walls were painted a dark shade.

Consider a Floral Work of Sculptured Wall Art to Fit the Theme

Sculptured metal wall art is absolutely beautiful, and depending on the style of the space, it is a good choice when decorating a living room in a floral theme. Shop online for the largest selection of floral metal wall art, and choose one large piece to create a living room focal point. Keep in mind that metal wall art can include rich natural hues and painted highlights. Just a touch of color can make a huge difference in the appearance of not only the individual piece, but also the entire living room.

Decorating a Living Room with a Beautiful Photo Collage

Beautiful works of wall art in a floral theme do not have to come from a home décor store. Flower photos can be transformed into a lovely framed collage. Take photos of live flowers, and order eight-inch by ten-inch matte prints. Mount the prints side-by-side and end-to-end on thick poster board using double-sided tape. Place the works of collective photographic art beneath glass, and highlight it with a stylish frame. This will cost far less than a large work of art from a home decorating store, but it will look just as striking and absolutely beautiful.

Make a Big Floral Area Rug Using Round Throw Rugs

Large living room area rugs can be quite costly, and floral rugs tend to be very detailed and formal in design. When decorating an informal living room in a floral theme, consider making a large area rug shaped like a big flower by stitching together circular throw rugs. Select a sunny yellow circular throw rug for the center and round rugs in colors of your choice to represent the petals. Use strong upholstery thread to stitch the back edges and sides of the rugs together by hand. The large rug will be completely unique, and it will coordinate the floral theme of the living room.
