Floral curtains are firmly in style, enjoying a strong revival as part of the return of maximalist and nature-inspired interior design. Both large-scale statement florals and smaller, more delicate prints are popular, with a particular trend towards botanical and painterly floral designs. Far from looking dated, floral curtains are now widely used in living rooms and dining rooms as a bold focal point. The key is pairing them with more restrained soft furnishings elsewhere so the print can breathe.
The safest approach with floral curtains is to pair them with plain walls, letting the curtain pattern take centre stage. If you want to use wallpaper alongside floral curtains, keep the two patterns at different scales and in the same tonal palette, for example, a subtle small-scale stripe or texture wallpaper with a larger floral curtain. Picking a background colour from the curtain print and using it as the wall tone is a reliable way to make the two work together.
