Bold Florals for Your Home


We still have the Spring bug here at Wallstudio. We are loving bright colours and bold florals! Bold floral patterns, accessories, wallpaper etc are a great way to bring some live and vibrancy into your home. It is also a great way to add some striking colour to your interiors too. A great thing about bold florals is they aren't as feminine as soft, pretty florals and are a great alternative for the not-so-traditional home!

Here are some great examples we found of bold florals done right!

Art Deco Inspired Interiors


Art Deco style has had a major resurgence almost 100 years after it first came on the scene, as the design world embraces this sleek, graphic and geometric style thanks to the immanent debut of Baz Luhrmann's Gatsby movie. 

We are seeing touches of deco in fashion, hints of it in typography and pinches of it in interiors, and I [Amanda] couldn't be happier. Deco is one of my favourite styles and having so much reference to it around at the moment is making me smile.

Perhaps you love the style too and want to know ways in which you can combine it with contemporary interior design. Well, we have selected a few examples of spaces we feel combine the then and the now very well.



Art Deco style is moody and glamourous. It took its inspiration from the machines of the day; ocean liners, trains, aeroplanes, cars and their chrome finishes, speedy lines and geometric forms. It was a time of opulence and being showy with mirror and velvet and yet could be quite pared back and minimal too. It is a style that evokes emotion and creates amazing spaces to envelope yourself in!

Tiles As Art


There are some areas in the house that are difficult to decorate with art, the bathroom is one, and the kitchen can be tricky too. While it is not impossible to hang art on the walls in these rooms, it isn't always practical. Never fear! Why not use tiles in place of art? Creating an interesting and striking design with tiles is easier than you think - however it my require you to step out of your comfort zone at first, to achieve the desired wow factor!


Of course coloured are perhaps the most obvious choice, however the effect can be anything but standard depending on what tiles you choose. A tile with a amazing shape or pattern can be so effective, so too can solid tiles laid in a unique combination or pattern.


If coloured tiles aren't your thing and you prefer the clean and serene look of white tiles, then why not consider a textured tile? Textured white tiles have such great impact, they give a feel of luxury and quality and it's something a lift unexpected! For something truly unique, you could mix and match a number of different textured and smooth tiles in white, cream and other muted neutral tones. Isn't it beautiful?


Another fabulous option for high impact is metallic tiles! They come in a vast number of finishes, tones and shapes and textures allowing you to create the perfectly unique look for your home. Metallic tiles work equally as well in the kitchen and bathroom and would certainly make doing the laundry feel much more luxurious!

So those areas that are tricky to decorate with wall art can be decorated in a whole new way if you extend the idea of wall art to include your tile choices!

Which look do you like best?
