Soup up a splashback
Combine florals with a pared-back, modern backdrop and the effect is striking without being overpowering.
Here, a favourite piece of flowery fabric has been cut to size and laminated to create a bespoke splashback. As a result, what could have felt like a rather a cold kitchen is now bursting with character.

Flaunt your florals
Splashbacks are a great way to introduce pattern and colour into a kitchen and it’s easy to create a personalised design. Try pasting floral wallpaper behind glass or Perspex or, for a unique and personal touch, commission a floral design based on your favourite blooms or to reflect your garden.
This bespoke hydrangea glass splashback was hand-painted and made to order. The vibrant mix of cobalt blue and sunshine yellow is spirited and stylish, and adds a big jolt of retro flair at the same time.

Think outside the box
If you want floral curtains in the kitchen, then you can have them. OK, so it’s not often we spy full-length drapes in the cooking zone, but don’t you just love the floaty, spring-like vibe this flowery pair instantly brings? The fresh, colour-packed pattern is light and fun, and ties in effortlessly with the rainbow of chairs and vase of real blooms.
Pick light, cotton curtains that can be freshened up with a quick wash and air at home.

Maximise with a mural
Large, overscale murals are hot interiors news at the moment. But don’t save these divine decorations for the living room or boudoir – let the big prints and patterns spill over into the kitchen.
This zoomed-in, pixilated image of a lily in zesty lime and crisp white was hand-painted onto the wall. The two-tone artwork gives just a classy hint of flower power, too, as you really have to stand back to see what it is, and it looks perfectly at home with the clean, white units.

White it out
If it simply has to be white and only the real thing will do, then focus on texture rather than colour when choosing kitchen florals. This sleekest of white kitchens is treated to a softer edge thanks to the huge bowls of papery hydrangeas on the worktop and sculptural orchids on the windowsill. It goes to show you don’t always need colour to make a big impact.

Dare to be different
I really admire the unexpected when it comes to decorating. And that can be something as simple as taking a bedroom-happy floral paper out of its comfort zone and into the culinary epicentre.
Because while this pretty grey and white floral will do the job beautifully in the bedroom, over in the kitchen it transforms into a fresh and exciting backdrop for these metal shelves, spices and cookbooks.

Ramp up the romance
You may not think a kitchen could ever be deemed ‘romantic’, but one quick glance at this light and airy room and you might change your mind.
It’s the generous use of china blue floral paper that does the trick, transforming a mostly utilitarian space into the prettiest spot in the house.
Finish off a room like this with pictures, a mirror or decorative clock and a chandelier (all of those bits you’re more likely to find in the living room) for a cosy kitchen hang-out.

Cover up with a cloth
A cute, colourful tablecloth is sometimes all that’s needed to flutter a few florals into your kitchen. The rich cobalt and cream colour scheme in this room offers an unexpected neutral and un-cutesy backdrop, against which the china blue and red rose tablecloth makes a striking impact.
You can, of course, swap and change your floral cloth at will – from a pretty, all-over daisy design to powerful poppy prints – depending on the occasion and your mood. If you can’t find the perfect ready-made tablecloth, source fabric by a favourite design house, cut it to size and hem.

Rouse with a rainbow
You don’t have to plump for anything too permanent or precious to hit the right note for the floral trend in the kitchen. This rainbow-packed display of melamine tumblers in plains and florals creates a beautiful piece of wall art that’s practical, too.

Plate up
This is a classic tip for introducing a splash of florals into the kitchen – and a supremely simple one, too.
Gather up a pile of vintage floral plates – the odd crack or chip doesn’t matter in this instance – and hang them on a sorbet-coloured wall for the most charming of kitchen welcomes.
