Not normally a fan of flamboyant pattern? Then dip your toe into the trend and set a blooming lovely table with flowery tablecloths and napkins that can be changed up at a whim – it's maximalism, but not to the max! To style it all up, mix and match tableware with abandon for a riotous sense of whimsy.

With a shade this striking, you'll be hunting for ways to work this into your home. A striking hand-blocked print has been handstitched and pleated around a bespoke frame, with the bronze struts visible from the inside.
If the thought of decorating with wall to wall print feels too overwhelming, consider packing a punch through soft furnishings and rugs. For a look that exudes drama, use a large-scale botanical design on a dark and moody background or, for something softer, go for a style that combines petals with pink.
Intricate blooms of wild berries, sloes and blossom trail across an indigo background. A round rug may not seem like an obvious choice, but the curves will provide a soft, intimate feel to a room.
Add depth and interest to an otherwise dull bathroom with a bright burst of florals. Go for a wild botanical wallpaper on the upper half of the walls to envelop the space in pattern. Then pick out a punchy hue from the design to colour drench walls, woodwork and furniture, unifying the details for a beautifully integrated look.
