Best floral bedding for exuding garden glamour in the home

Minimalism and bedroom decor tend to go hand in hand. Pristine ivory sheets, cream-coloured carpets and white walls are depicted on our social media feeds and in the pages of glossy magazines. 

While neutral home aesthetics tickle the fancy of many, calm, pristine curated interiors aren’t for everyone. Maximalism decor is on the rise, as documented by Architectural Digest’s highly coveted Instagram feed.

Dopamine-inducing colourways, velvet furnishings and prints galore are slowly but surely taking hold, with stars such as Lily Allen and Cara Delevigne wholeheartedly embracing the more is more aesthetic. Our favourite form of OTT bedroom decor? Floral bedding.

Floral bedding adds a divinely feminine, natural touch to any bedroom. Whether you reside in the countryside or the city, florals never fail to inject a space with some fairytale glamour. 

Transform your abode into a wooded wonderland or forest escape with a floral set of which there are many available. Blooming bedding has never been easier to add to your online shopping basket, thanks to brands such as Liberty, Anthropologie and House of Hackney who design decorative and functional floral bedding for all. 

The trend also leans perfectly into the ongoing fascination with Grandpacore. London is witnessing an ongoing obsession with OAP style, from oversized tweed suits to worn-out baggy knits and suspenders. Now, we’re seeing the trend infiltrate the interior sphere, with granny-chic florals, chintzy soft furnishings and kitsch slogan cushions à la Gucci take hold.  

Yet despite the nostalgic feel of floral bedding, it remains as contemporary as ever. Floral bedding has been depicted on-screen from 18th century-based Marie Antoinette to Nineties-set 10 Things I Hate About You and modern-day Euphoria. Whether crafted from silk, satin or cotton, floral bedding will never fall out of favour. 

Elevate your bedroom with some fabulous floral detailing and discover the best floral bedding to buy this year.
