Florals never go out of style. The timeless pattern is incredibly versatile, ranging from traditional to modern to coastal, depending on how and where it is used. For proof, look no further than Betty White's living room in 1954.
Archival images of the actress's home show a space replete with character. Floral curtains define the back wall, bursting forward in stunning bloom. Betty works at a wooden desk, with a linen table lamp in the background. Needless to say, the bold flowers are the star of the look.
Furthermore, over 70 years later, her design is just as striking and of the moment. Still today, floral patterns appear in all of the chicest homes, ranging from items as luxurious as a floral La Double J Cushion from Net-A-Porter to a humble painted ceramic vase from Wayfair

Furthermore, the print is growing ever more popular as an interior design trend for 2026. Design expert Magdalena Gierasinksa explains: 'Floral fabrics embody the enduring beauty of nature, transforming interiors with their delicate patterns and rich, organic motifs. Whether rendered in soft pastels for a vintage charm, bold botanicals for a modern statement, or intricate tapestries reminiscent of classic European design, these textiles infuse any space with depth, warmth, and a sense of timelessness.'
She continues: 'From airy linen drapes that catch the light to plush velvet upholstery that adds a touch of luxury, floral prints have an innate ability to soften interiors. Their ever-evolving presence in design proves that nature’s artistry, when woven into fabric, remains forever in bloom.'
As Betty White's space demonstrates, floral patterns are ultra-stylish no matter the year. Moving into a new year, the tranquil and inviting look isn't going anywhere.
