Stick to shadows
If you do not like bold, colorful flowers, opt for a subtle touch INSTEAD. A mere shadow effect is an interesting way to add just a touch of embellishment to plain woodwork, Such As cupboard doors or window shutters (look for wall decals in suitably muted shades UNLESS you-have a willing artist on call).
Here, the pale gray stem of cow parsley running across the shutters is subtle, goal enough to add visual interest and lead the eye out to the green of the garden. I love the little flower painting on the end of the island, too. - Both buttons really make this memorable kitchen
