Groundbreaking. Yes, Miranda Priestley, we know: seasonal florals are hardly new. But some ideas endure for a reason: they seduce us with appealing color, pattern, and nostalgia.
Florals for Spring
Splurge
A potent sign of spring, cherry blossoms last just a moment. Prolong their message of freshness and renewal with a gorgeous porcelain vase.
Sourabh Gupta
Inventive artist Sourabh Gupta makes his handmade flowers in a workshop in East Harlem. All manner of raw materials (including paper towels, toilet paper, crepe paper, and more) come into play in the pursuit of perfect texture, color, and form. Discover his much-sought-after work on Instagram.
Antiquarian Shop
Handmade floral elements make up the surface of Julian Chichester’s ceramic Fairy lamps. Shown here with printed shades in petal colors, they come in two heights. Create your own side table or nightstand garden! Available at Antiquarian Shop.
Asian Influences
An antique Chinese cinnabar lacquer tray brings a hit of life and color to any room. This one has a carved central design of peony flowers, floral banding at the rim, and brass edging.
Jennifer Janeway Designs
Fair weather is here in shades of sky blue, coral, and sandy beaches. Designer Jennifer Janeway’s dreamily uplifting take on comfortable living is spot on. The coral wall covering is Thibaut Paper Rattan, and the lovely bird pattern is Phillip Jeffries Fable in Sepia Garden. Fabrics are all from Thibaut.
