Let Your Rooms Bloom With Rose Patterned Wallpaper



Rose patterned wallpapers have traditionally been one of the most popular mainstays over the years. We just can't say goodbye to them for long.They have graced English walls for generations and today can be found in traditional, shabby, vintage and yes, even modern interiors. While the style might be different than what graced grandma's walls, a floral wall featuring a classic rose motif still represents the cozy romanticism of yesterday, something the masses seem to be drawn to. I can't say I like all rose patterned wallpapers but there are some rosy walls that draw me in too. I have gathered some photos that will thrill traditionalists and hopefully entice the modern crowd to consider the new rose patterned wallcoverings. 



Roses are old-fashioned, homey and romantic and traditionalists love them. The trick is knowing how to choose a pattern that doesn't look dated. You want to stay away from the 80's look and choose something a little more current. Even if the color palette is soft and pretty, modern rose patterned wallpapers features bigger and bolder roses. Your vintage look will still be enhanced by a selection like this one.


I think this rose patterned wall is fabulous and works really well with vintage and antique pieces. If I were starting over today and looking for something unique and over the top I would definitively embrace this look.


Rose patterned walls have always set the stage for a vintage, traditional style.....and they still can, just in a different way. The popularity of painted furniture and brighter color palettes will help to refresh a traditional style rose wallpapered interior.


Another example of how brightly colored painted furniture can team up with a vintage rose patterned wallpaper  for a more updated look.


This fun rose wallpaper is a modern take on a floral pattern and proves that old fashioned roses can work in a modern interior whether used on all the walls or only one.


If you still love a romantic rose covered wall, it isn't difficult to find a pretty rose patterned paper. Just be willing to check out a few of the current unique collections like these.


Murals are another trendy way to cover your walls in roses. If you are bold and not intimidated by the size of the florals, you can create some pretty stunning interiors.

Create a beautiful accent wall with an oversized rose pattern.


I like this colorful old world style wall covering with oversized roses and gold calligraphy. It reminds me of a huge oil painting.



Two perennial favorites, stripes and roses, but combined in a more modern way. The painted piece for vintage and the acrylic modern lamp pull this pretty eclectic look together.

English interiors were saturated with rose patterns. The trend today for the popular English County style interior is traditional looking, rose patterned wallpapers with larger roses as opposed to the smaller patterns of a few decades back.


An all-over rose pattern for your walls will always be a classic look if, (and that if is extremely important), you treat the room in a more updated vintage style and not make it a throwback to times past. Even if you choose antique furniture, add in some edge so you won't get the "grandma" effect.

This rose patterned background gives the room a touch of modern and chic while keeping it feminine and comfy.


For those who want a neutral rose inspired wallpaper, you have many wonderful choices. I love this grey and white version from Windsor Smith in an all-over pattern. Very feminine with a subdued elegance.



A soft greige all-over cabbage rose patterned wallpaper is a pretty choice if you are into neutrals.

I LOVE this rose wallpaper selection. It is traditional, soft, and feminine but the tone on tone pattern and neutral French, painted furniture make it classic and not dated.


A modern take on the traditional rose chintz wallpaper.


Many of today's rose patterned wallpapers are not as "serious" as paper in the past. The roses are more lively and whimsical but they can still help in creating lovely rooms.


Stenciling a wall in a mono rose design is another alternative if you are not interested in wallpaper.


For those of you that love the old fashioned vintage look, you can still enjoy wonderful rose covered walls. As you can see from this picture and the one below, this cottage style interior with it's rose and fern covered walls and accessories is on trend with today's interest in botanicals. 


The fern motif keeps his space current as botanicals are a popular design element right now.

A pretty old-fashioned tea rose motif - perfect for a vintage shabby chic look.

Decorating With Bold Floral Rugs



It's spring and floors are in full bloom!

All decorators know that a well-chosen rug will act as an anchor for a room as well as define it's personality. Your furniture and accessories may combine to create a look you desire, but consider your floor a back-drop to the proceedings. Elegant floral rugs bring a breath of fresh spring air to any room, and today's colorful large scale floral rugs will serve as the centerpiece of your room. A trendy bold floral look may be just the thing to brighten up your living room, foyer, or bedroom. So stay on the forefront of home decor by keeping up with the hottest trends in rug design that will make your house a stylish, comfortable home.

An easy and affordable way to quickly change the decor of any room, without buying everything new or rearranging all that you already have, is to add floral rugs. A rug with bold floral elements works well in a room with modern style, a traditional look, or even those rooms that are somewhere in between. No matter your taste or your decorating style, the floral rug is chic, current, and a wonderful element to add to your design. 



It’s important to keep in mind that there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to decorating with florals, other than to keep it balanced by not overdoing it.



Area rugs, when chosen correctly, add just the right touch in finishing any room in your home. Rugs are also a great way to add floral patterns to your space and they are easy to switch out when you want a color change.


If you already have bold walls, using bold patterned area rugs will unite the floor and walls. The look is then pulled together instead of being over powering to the eyes.

If you are daring, consider layering on the floral prints as in the room above. Use a large scale floral rug, cushions with medium to small scale prints, and vintage floral paintings or botanical prints on the walls.


These bold floral rugs look great under a coffee table, at the foot of a bed, at the front door, or even under the sofa. Plus they add just enough color to brighten a room without overwhelming other design elements.

This look goes well with furniture that is more subtle, letting the rug be the true star in a room. If you want a bold floral rug but are alittle apprehensive, keep your furniture neutral and use patterned accents. 

Over-sized floral rugs can be the perfect addition to neutral traditional or white French Country decor.

The bold floral rug goes great with a cottage, romantic, or eclectic design style. Remember to bring the colors up, and on to the walls.


Consider a rug covered in large, colorful blooms for the bedroom. Very romantic!


If you have solid colored walls and curtains, a bold floral rug can become a rich and inviting focal point.

While not for everybody, this multi-layered floral room somehow manages to work and would look fabulous in a Boho style interior.


You can count on the "wow factor" in your room if you choose to use one of today's trendy bold florals on your floor. It's sure to make a design statement and  you the envy of your friends.




A bold floral rug "pops" wherever you lay it........ in the dining room, living room, kitchen, sunroom, porch, or anywhere else!


Consider over-sized floral rugs in soft colors for nurseries and little girls rooms.


For those of you who have dreamed big and floral but been too timid to put your ideas into action remember you can still pull off this look with more muted colors.
