Men, beware! One of the biggest design trends of 2010 is the return of the floral print. Floral prints had become scarce the last few years with the subdued and textured solid fabrics of late, but trend watchers are seeing that we are craving feminine patterns in our homes. Here at Hickory Furniture Mart, you will get a taste of what’s new in interior design trends, and floral prints have found a home.

Larger scaled and Asian influenced shapes were one of the versions of this trend being shown at Market. We love the random scattering of flowers and the Mid Century Modern influence. This version of the trend will be more appealing to some because it is not so overtly floral.
However, when you need the overall effect of a flower garden, there are plenty of options for you as well. Many fabric lines are featuring highly saturated colors packed into a dense pattern of floral abundance. Whether you use a little or a lot, you can offset the curvy shapes by using stripes, checks or solids to tone it down.
Love it or hate it, whimsical floral patterns are a nice break to the serious solids that will still have a home. Accent a room with a few patterned pillows or floral themed accessories, or make a statement by covering a chair in a rich allover design. When you stop by our North Carolina furniture outlets and showrooms, ask our designers how you can use this new trend and liven up your space.
