How do you style a vintage floral bedroom?
The secret lies in layering patterns thoughtfully, mixing textures, and embracing an eclectic, vintage-inspired rural aesthetic, with a little bravery and a few style tips you’ll be surprised how easily a look comes together.
Here’s how to create a home that feels like a charming cottage retreat—effortless, stylish, and distinctly British.
1. Dare to Mix, Not Match
Gone are the days when matching lamps to wallpaper was a must. Instead, create harmony through contrast. Start with a classic Laura Ashley print be that floral or toile wallpaper—such as the elegant Josette or whimsical Belvedere—then introduce a lamp in a different pattern or complementary tone.
A damask backdrop might sing when paired with a pleated shade in check or stripe. Try placing a ceramic lamp with a botanical motif next to patterned bed linen. The layers build interest, character, and depth without overwhelming the space.
2. Choose a Natural, Countryside-Inspired Colour Palette
Let nature guide your palette. Soft sage greens, dusty blues, muted rose, and barley tones echo the hues of rural meadows and weather-worn stone cottages. These colours form the perfect base for both your wallpapers and lighting selections.
Laura Ashley’s lighting designs—like the Sorrento Pendant Light in antique brass or Fernhill table lamp with woven details and cream shade—offer a subtle elegance that enhances this countryside palette without overpowering it.
3. Layer Lighting for Depth and Warmth
Comfort comes from light that feels soft and inviting, rather than stark or cold. Incorporate a mix of lighting types throughout your rooms:
- Ceiling pendants in traditional finishes set a focal point.
- Table lamps on sideboards or end tables add a gentle glow and balance.
- Wall lights, especially with fabric shades, can provide cosy, flattering light around reading nooks or hallways.
By choosing different styles within the Laura Ashley collection—but staying within a common colour story or metal finish—you maintain cohesion while keeping the look relaxed.
4. Let Patterns Tell a Story
Each pattern in the Laura Ashley range carries heritage and charm. With many bright and breezy designs you’ll have confidence in assembling soft bedding, wall coverings and lamps within the Laura Ashley collection to embrace pattern with confidence.
Use wallpaper as a back drop to tell your own story. In a bedroom, combine wallpaper in a floral trail design with striped lampshades.
In a hallway, let wall lights in polished chrome highlight a bird-and-blossom print wallpaper that sets the tone for the rest of the home.
Don’t be afraid to let the patterns speak. Let them take centre stage by keeping surrounding furniture in calm, neutral tones and natural textures—wood, wicker, and stone helps retain calmness. Remember to avoid harshness, include scallop edge lampshades or lampshades with a soft pleat. We particularly light softer shaped pendants that add to the vintage vibes.
5. Create a Sense of Nostalgic Comfort
Above all, aim for a look that feels as though it has evolved over time—as if each lamp and each roll of wallpaper was added lovingly across generations. Pair new Laura Ashley pieces with antique finds. Let a vintage chest sit beneath a glossy ceramic lamp. Drape a faded quilt on a modern bed beneath a Laura Ashley wallpaper print. This blend of old and new evokes a true British country home, filled with soul, stories, and quiet elegance. Add an elegant framed photo of the people you love to show the importance of family. Laura Ashley photo frames make lovely gifts too.
6. The right Tone
One of the key parts of getting the look right is to select patterns and accent colours that sit comfortably together. Pastels will all work easily together harmonising, however if you opt for blues in a rich royal tone contrast this with rich toned pieces unless a pastel is heavily repeat patterned if could look a little bland adjacent to a jewelled tone.
