Flowers are generally not thought of as modern or particularly cool. They're a throwback to a Victorian Era of inhibiting dicta and rules, right? Well, I love 'em, always have. It's not always easy to embrace the "girly" when writing for a forward-thinking design site. So when I drummed up the idea to do a roundup of floral rooms, I feared how it might get received. Evidently rightly so. "There are few things that I hate more than floral print and/or ruffles," wrote a commenter on yesterday's shower curtain roundup. Yikes.
And then I searched our archives. How wrong was my perception. These flowers have serious power, y'all. The use of this classic motif here is fresh and free. One room even belongs to a sole boy, who, yes, has forward-thinking parents. Flowers in children's rooms are modern again.
Enjoy.

#6-Baby Z's room. That textile hanging on the wall is so pretty. I'd love to have that in my space.
I love love love flowers. These rooms make me happy! My favs are numbers 2,6, & 10
Psh, I love flowers and girly things! If I had a daughter I can only imagine... But I don't think flowers are only for girls, I mean they're nature. My son's room is sky blue with clouds and flowers, granted that's because we can't paint it, but still. Good for you writing about something you love and forgetting the haters!
What a fun collection of kids' rooms!
Watch out! I can hear the Bumper Brigade gathering their pitch forks!
I love these rooms... I'm not a fan of grandma-type floral, maybe because that was my childhood bedroom decor, but these are all great modern interpretations!
Love 'em. I've seen so many grey-walls-with-yellow-chevron nurseries that these are a breath of fresh air.
