Florals Are Gaining in Popularity This Summer

August 4, 2017

If you’re looking for a way to give your home a fresh makeover this summer, you may want to consider adding florals. We’re seeing them show up in everything from furniture to accessories and beyond. At Half Price Drapes, we love all fabrics and are interested to see how our customers are using these unique colors and patterns.

Decorators are all-in for florals

Decorators and designers have long loved the brightness of floral prints. They say they can open up a space and that this is especially true during summer. Feng shui experts say that bringing nature into the home adds positive energy and helps improve energy flow. They also say that it can help improve focus. We don’t know if any of that is true but we do know that floral curtains can be a great addition to a home.

Some homeowners decide to start small

Using florals can feel like a bring change for someone who doesn’t typically decorate with patterns or bright colors. For these folks, it may make the most sense to bring in small pieces at first. For example, adding a few small floral pillows to the couch. Once you decide you like the look then you can move on to larger pieces.

Learn about the best summer colors

Designers say that cool colors are best for summer, such as white, gray, or teal. They say that if you want to add something super summery, to add a hydrangea or bird of paradise. They especially recommend window coverings as a great but often overlooked option. They can add depth and tone to a room that would otherwise look bland.

Window treatments can do a lot for a home

In fact, designers say that window treatments can make a big difference in a home – and we agree! If you want to make a big difference in your home, and add a new look that you’ll use forever or replace in the near future, look no further than adding or changing window treatments.
