From Publishers Weekly
Blossoms-live or silk, printed or paintedcan freshen any room, write authors Llewellyn and Lester in this handsomely illustrated guide to home decorating. The authors, both accomplished gardeners, go room by room, giving ideas on color, patterns and function to fit different spaces and tastes. For "Blooming Kitchens," for example, they suggest bright, vital shades versus the subdued, calming tones they recommend for bedrooms. They sweep through a wide variety of decorating styles, showing how to incorporate flower motifs into the spare modernist apartments and provincial cottages. Readers may take inspiration from the anecdotal "Flowers Through History" sections in each chapter, which detail the blooms importance in ancient cultures, like the Egyptian and Celtic, or periods, like Rococo and Art Nouveau. Lists of useful resources for decorating, as well as simple instructions on découpage, pressing fresh flowers and printing fabrics, round out this vibrant volume. Color photographs throughout.

Book Description
Flowers, in all their magnificent incarnations, are the most popular decorating icon in the home. From the fabulous multi-floral chintzes of English cottage styles to the exquisite stylized poppies of Marrimeko, from a single perfect rose in a silver bud vase to an exotic garden room overflowing with orchids, flowers provide colorful and impassioned inspiration for all types of decorating styles.
Covering historical patterns, ethnic motifs, contemporary styles, romantic imagery, floral folklore, and more, this unique style guide shows you how to integrate floral style into a complete design plan.
Reader Reviews
Hundreds of great ideas and concepts. Start on any page for an inspiring read, serene and playful photos -- or read it through to transform every room in the home. Very well written with just the right amount of text that never gets too technical and never talks down.
