Flower Motifs
As you read this, we’re in the midst of an unusual (and yet, so so cool) finish with oversized flowers for a hotel project. Pics soon, promise. It brought to mind to give you two of my fave images using flower motifs. You like?
I’ve used this image as inspiration before — in fact, it helped fuel a 5 a.m. “a-ha” moment. Source Unknown.
Pretty, no? Not only a larger than life design but also with a linear flourish. Source Unknown.
Inspiration can also be found in other surfaces, such as textiles and papers:
Antique prints can prove a great visual resource. Image from Architectural Digest.
I especially like how flowers can adapt to any design style — here, within the Arts & Crafts movement of the early 20th century. Textiles featured in House & Garden years ago.
By the way, I’ve written about Flower Power before in case you’d like to see more images. Have you worked with a flower motif in an unusual way? Would love to hear about it!

Great photo inspirations!
The hotel project sounds very cool. Are you using Modellos or stencils or hand painting?
I swear you get the neatest projects!

I’m not one for flowers my self, that being said you make them look 1000* better than all the wall papers I’ve seen
Looking forward to seeing the end results from your project.

Thanks, all! I’m looking forward to the end results, too. It’s actually oversized sorta abstract roses — all handpainted. They are in warm golden tones with nice pearl colorations, too. Maybe some sparkle will be added…we’ll see. There are beautiful lighting fixtures and other accoutrements coming in…will take pics when all is said and done.
