Muted color schemes are a perfect background to the soft, textures of some floral patterns. Think about using them in measured splashes. Use floral fabrics as an accent, in an armchair, a plate or on cushions. Whether you prefer velvet or silks to capture your look or simple elegant cottons and linens, they both capture the fluid feel of this look.
