Modern Meets Vintage: Sophie Robinson's Country Floral Decorating Ideas | House Beautiful

Country florals of old, from valances to gathered lampshades, were popular in the seventies and eighties – but now they’re back and this vintage pattern is being embraced by all.

Made popular by the love of nostalgia and vintage decor, interior design expert and queen of colour, Sophie Robinson, lifts the lid on decorating with country florals in episode of five of House Beautiful’s video series, Decorate With Confidence.

‘They are probably one of the most popular and traditional types of fabric and wallpapers to introduce into your home. I don’t think they’ve ever been more fashionable,’ Sophie says.

But the big question is, how do you make country house florals look contemporary? Sophie shares her expert tips, including how to moodboard and create a fresh colour palette, and showcases exactly how she’s achieved the look in her very own country kitchen.

Country florals lean perfectly into maximalism, from all-over wallpaper to full length curtains, but Sophie reveals how to create pace and balance for a look that’s not too overwhelming. ‘It’s all about playing with the scale,’ she says.

There’s even ideas for those who prefer a more pared-back look. Sophie explains how accessories and soft furnishings, from bed linen to tableware, can help you get the look.

From styling ideas to practical advice, watch the episode for how to bring the country florals look into your home in an easy, accessible way.
