Dark botanical patterns are all the fashion

IT’S THE season of florals as bright yellow gorse and forsythia are starting to give way to the pink of cherry blossoms with their short burst of happiness. 

However, the way florals are translating into home interiors is not quite as cheery and light. Their treatment is quite different to what one would expect in spring with dark tones of blue and pinks set against black which creates a look that is not just moody but downright sulky.

It’s almost like a direct translation of the season’s catwalk fashions where florals mixed with smoky eye make-up and long hair that looks like it hasn’t seen a comb in months.
