April showers bring… the In Bloom Season! This May, we’re blooming in every direction — mind, body, soul… and style. Say hello to Modern Botanica, Redecor’s floral design style for the new Season. It’s the perfect harmony between fresh florals, organic forms, cozy textures, and chic calmness.
This month is also Mental Wellness Awareness Month, which makes this the perfect time to create spaces that help us reset, recharge, and bloom.
So, what is Modern Botanica?
It’s nature’s softer, more sophisticated sibling. This floral design style is a blend of botanical beauty with modern minimalism – think romantic florals, petal-shaped lighting, and natural materials.
Ready to bring this floral design style into your Redecor Designs? We’ve rounded up 5 tips to help you master the look and make your spaces bloom beautifully.
5 Tips to Master the Modern Botanica Aesthetic
1. Bloom With Bold Botanicals
Florals are at the heart of this look. From soft watercolor-style art to vibrant oversized blooms in your upholstery, florals are blooming in all forms with this Season’s design materials.
Design tip: Mix and match prints for a layered, storybook feel. Pair floral design fabrics with flower-inspired decor like the dainty lamps seen throughout this Season’s collections.
2. Choose Colors That Soothe the Soul
Modern Botanica is rooted in soft, grounding shades: blush pinks, sage greens, dusty blues, warm neutrals. These tones create a calming backdrop that encourages mindfulness. You’ll spot this palette across all the Items released this Season!
Floral Design Tip: Start with a neutral base (like soft cream or stone), then build up with rosy pinks and leafy greens, just as the Art Team did in the beautiful setting below!
3. Texture is Your Best Friend
Velvet cushions, corduroy headboards, ceramic vases, and natural wood floors — the Modern Botanica design style LOVES a textural mix. Just look at the velvety throws and floral-embossed pillows in the scene below. These cozy elements bring that ‘ahhh’ feeling into every corner.
Floral Design Tip: Layer soft textures to create a floral design that’s as comfy as it is chic. Bonus points for throws and fabrics that feel like you’re being wrapped in a blooming blanket.
4. Bring the Outdoors In
This style lives and breathes greenery — literally. Whether it’s a large plant in the corner, or a floral wallpaper, or vases overflowing with blooms, nature should be the guest of honor in your Designs.
Floral Design Tip: Not a plant whisperer? No problem. Use nature-inspired patterns, prints, and accessories to bring the floral look to life.
5. Floral Fashion? Yes, please!
Listen, some people may roll their eyes, but we’re bringing floral design back with flair. This Season’s Restyle is all about blooms! We’re going bigger, bolder, and bursting with attitude — think oversized prints, hand-drawn petals, or abstract botanicals.
Floral Fashion Tip: A statement skirt or jacket covered in florals is your main character moment. Remember, 1 bold floral + 1 sleek staple = instant win.
