Choose a classic combination
Gilt-edged frames and French style furniture is a wonderful combination for this look, especially with simple designs, delicate as these. Alternatively, a chesterfield leather work just as well. You can not go wrong with a tone color scheme inspired by nature, plus a failsafe display two rows of frames above the sofa.

work with white
botanical illustrations Frameless with the aged parchment look great feel in an all-white gallery-style décor. One or two simple colors flashing on the furniture and accessories will really stand out. Use furniture with legs to keep as much of the floor on show possible, maximizing the airy sense of light and space.

Think outside the box
There are many other creative ways to display botanical prints, like this Salvaged window frame. If you want to support printing and move them when you feel like a change, the image of Ikea edges are ideal - or use ropes and bulldog clips for a return to basics, less formal look.

Go big
You want a more dramatic look? Why not go as big as possible, filling the wall with framed pressed flowers (black frames still give more impact). If the idea of collecting and pressing your own samples seems rather time-consuming, pieces of botanical wallpaper frame instead, such as Garden Party or by Boråstapeter Curtis Botanical by Lewis & Wood.

Use botanicals as a starting point
Take an idea (in this case, the framed prints) as a starting point for all of your room makes decorating so much easier. Match furniture frames (dark is best for a colonial atmosphere) and remove the key colors of the image for use on upholstery, with the accents used on the flowers and accessories.

Tell -lui a country twist
Botanicals adapt well in the rustic look to combine with natural materials, such as panels of bleached wood, and white sheets with a hint of gingham.

Add botanicals to the bathroom
Botanicals embody both a sense of nature and history, so they work wonderfully in a bathroom heritage style. If you opt for an enamel bath, choose a color from your painting impressions below, or echoes the color in Roman shades for a unique sensation. Finally, add glass bottles and vintage apothecary to complete the look.

... and the kitchen
I love this intelligent use of botanical wallpaper custom made to facilitate a pantry door. Or why not plant introductions through the window? Manufacturers such as Marlborough, Minton Hollins Wellbeck and are excellent sources for beautiful botanical drawings.

Bring it to the upholstery
unexpected botanical in an otherwise great modern space really brings the room to life. Used sparingly, on a sofa, chair or rug, botanical prints can add a great success of the audacious vitality. If you prefer to keep your sofa as a single block of color, limited to a botanical cushions instead.
