Believe it or not there are some species of flowers that thrive in the cooler months. Whether or not they would survive the polar vortex and arctic chill going on now across the country is debatable - and by debatable I mean a definite NO NO NO while still trying to be nice to those freezing out there.
None the less there is a way, once the thaw melts, to have beautiful flowering plants before spring has sprung. With the help of beautiful floral images from Sunset Magazine and interior design inspiration from Elle Decor and Lonny we douse your screens with winter floral home decor inspiration.
Snapdragons are every child's favorite flower. Aside from being extremely fun to play with, Snapdragons mix pinks, oranges and pops of yellow seamlessly. Incorporating these colors into home decor gives you a feminine and bold look that embraces color from ceiling to floor and can easily translate into any room in your house as you see above.
Whether you take inspiration and make it a focal point with paint or large drapery, or stick to accessories with throw pillows and accent lamps, this spring-inspired color palette will surely give you motivation to see the sunlight at the end of the wintry tunnel.
Violas to me seem like the kind of flower that would pop up in colder months. The deep purples and silvery whites speak to the chill of winter and translate into interior design that is modern, sleek and mature. As you will notice in our inspiration, accenting this deep purple with a 'clear' surface like a glass coffee table or lucite based desk really allows the color to shine. Another accessory that pairs perfectly with deep mauves and silvery textures is crystal lighting. Similar to glass accent pieces, crystal lighting will reflect the colors rather than detract and distract from them.
Nemesia has a vibrant orange flower with a dark black center - a color combination that we seem time and again in interior design. Orange really is the star color of Nemesia, and we have found inspiration that embrace the orange and let it shine. Almost like a winter sunset, the warmness and rich hue feels comforting in the winter months. Both solid and patterned, in textiles and wallpaper, accessories and accents, this bold color has no intention of going anywhere soon.
