Designers in search of novelty, fresh trends returned floristic motifs to their former place and even raised their importance.

The floral ornament in different eras and times passed through the stages of evolution - the types of drawing, shades, color saturation, as well as semantic content changed.

In this case, pillows, casually located at the place of rest, should contain a similar pattern. Looks good combo design. Blue and white colors tested by time. And if you add yellow accents to it, everything will play with sunny colors.

Canvases with pickups, which simultaneously decorate the model, protect it from the burning burner, will be relevant. If the kitchen is made in a classic simple style, the same classic curtains with a pattern that is a few tones lighter than the whole background will fit there. Short curtains with a juicy pattern are considered the most practical and most often used in the kitchen.

Bedroom

The interior design of the bedroom should be mysterious, be muffled, soothe the eye and adjust to rest. This is a place of solitude of one or two people, which means that everything in it should speak about the tastes, peculiarities of life, contain some exclusively individual details. Curtains with flowers bring tranquility, a feeling of home comfort, an atmosphere of relaxation, and are as relevant as anywhere else in the bedroom. They should merge into the overall style and be combined in shades with elements of the bed. For example, if the curtains are soft or dark purple, the bedclothes should be made in the same tone and pattern. The size of the flowers does not play a special role. The main thing is that there are not too many of them, and there is no nalapist feeling.
