A small ditzy pattern is associated with the vintage look. The nostalgic look can offset a very modern room to bring colour and texture to a glass and steel structure – especially as the colour of the floral fabric will provide nuance to the scheme.

The print works well in most mediums – fabric and wallpaper.

A subtle take on a floral traditional pattern can be seen in wallpapers that use a gentle imprint of a floral motif to bring the garden into a room. For example, Longwood by Thiabaut gives the room the trailing blooms and leaves of a traditional bower. Cole and Sons Design, Edgerton is based on the long flowers of the wisteria. This wallpaper manages to be both modern in feel and still reflect the vibe of the English country garden.

For something darker and more intense Borastapter’s Dawn Rose brings the atmosphere of heavy scented roses on a beautiful late summer’s night.

Whatever your colour scheme and in nearly all spaces, the floral print is both flexible and charming.

Mathew Williamson’s Orangery wallpaper from the Belvoir collection combines the tracery of the lace with a contemporary sensibility. He uses the lace design to add drama and style to any wall in your home decor. It comes in four colours, all of which add a difference sense of glamour.The floral elements are cleverly worked against the net effect of the backing normally seen on the lace itself.

For a modern take on wallpaper you can always count on Mr Perswall. They have a wallpaper mural which shows billowing lace curtains. It sound odd but can be very effective.

This romantic look has also been taken up by Timorous Beasties in their fabric designs but given a very modern twist. They have used images not usually associated with the dainty lace motif. The mosquito design is just such an example. They do produce the more traditional look in many colours if your taste is less adventurous.

For the beautiful classic lace, look no further than James Hare. Established in 1865 they produce the ethereal Chantilly and Leavers lace.

There is a lace for every interior project whether old or new.
