Bold florals are popping up everywhere this spring. They’re not only popping up in the yard, but this spring you’ll see the on the runway, and in interiors in a big way.
Are you a fan?

BAM or SLAM!?

BAM! for Bubble Lighting This week, I want to mix things up a little bit. I love color, but when it comes to paint I typically stick with neutrals on the wall, bringing in color through art and accessories. Earlier this week, I was reading through the March’s issue of House Beautiful on color and [...]

I hope you had a terrific weekend. I spent a portion of my weekend working on the kitchen. I finally broke down and painted! Originally, I had planned to paint the room a dark charcoal. Hoping for a deep, matte charcoal, I chose Knight’s Armor by Olympic as the final color. However, part way through [...]

My Parents Front Porch in Full Bloom Thank you for your input on the kitchen color Wednesday, you talked me into it… This weekend, I am going to jump in and paint the kitchen deep charcoal. The color I chose is one that I picked up when I first moved into my apartment in Charleston. [...]

Last weekend, I spent a little bit of time contemplating my next project. I think I have finally decided it will be the kitchen… I am getting the itch to paint again and my cream, over-sized, sterile kitchen is starting to get the best of me. The rental kitchen is large and very open. It [...]

Big, bold, BAM! I’ve seen them in neutrals that are gorgeous, too. I think it’s a great option for adding interest to a room.

BAM! I have always loved florals and am so glad to see that one print that I’ve had in my house for 16 years (and have thought it looked dated and I should change) is now popular again!
This is a BAM for me, especially in moderation! Just the right touch of fem for every room.

I am ok with a very small touch of it, but I am a geometic pattern girl. I love the bold floral for my daughter’s room.

Bam for sure, especially when combine with more subdued elements. I’m especially feeling the image of black-and-white floral wallpaper. Beautiful.
absolutely a BAM!
SYndal recently posted..Dear Monday-
Although some of those photos are beautiful…I think I am a “mostly” SLAM on this one! I say mostly because I would like a touch here and there…and I do like the ones with the neutral backround.

Big BAM!!! for me…love it! I have a bold floral I am working my up to making slipcovers out of. I’m more worried about my technique than the floral.

I’ve always been drawn to big bold florals in any color or shape – BAM for me.

Bleh. I’m not a fan of florals, and especially not large print florals. They remind me of dresses I was forced to wear in elementary school.
BAM BAM BAM!! I LOVE florals and always have! I love to mix and match checks with florals…softer florals appeal most to me….barkcloth…love!

Love fresh flowers and flowers in my yard, but not so much on my furniture or in my closet. I am a striped or checked kind of gal, more geometric patterns for me. Love all the bright Springy colors and neons mixed with neutrals. Kathysue

These are terrific examples!

Bam! (In small doses).
Elizabeth @ The Little Black Door recently posted..mom, are you digging in the trash again?
Bam for me – but only in small doses – don’t want my home to look like the late 80s florals that my guy hated
BAM! I know florals went out of style for a while, but I’ve always liked them and I’m pretty sure I always will. How do flowers go out of style?

I love all things natural so BAM! They are gorgeous in moderation!
I am a huge fan of floral design. My mom is having plenty of floral details in her house and floral design reminds me about my childhood. I am collecting orchids at home so I guess floral design will make my dcor even more lovely.
BAM for sure!
Janette@The2Seasons recently posted..Mud Room Reveal
I like them in moderation and in a temporary form, like pillows or shower curtains, not couches.
Laura recently posted..popping poufs
Not for me. Just too much, and some of the colors remind me of the 60′s. I don’t have anything against florals, in fact I love them in subdued colors and small doses, but these are too much. The more neutral ones do appeal to me if the prints aren’t overwhelmingly large. The big bright florals are too garish, though.
As it is said on the classic The Flinstones ….
BAM! BAM! BAM BAM BAM!

Definitely a BAM! Love these especially paired with neutrals.
They’re definitely a BAM! for me. I can’t stand wimpy florals, so these are just perfect. Now to figure out where I can incorporate them…
