If you’ve been inspired by RHS Chelsea Flower Show, your local garden centre teeming with fresh flowers, or just want to put your home in full bloom for summer, timeless floral patterns are one of the easiest ways to give interiors a fresh face.

There’s a mixed bouquet of styles to choose from – and clashing pinks and reds, moody blues and lavish lilac framed by glorious greenery will enhance any space, and can be layered like a flower bed or even based on the seasons.
