We're already mad about floral fashion, we've got the full Cath Kidston handbag collection, heck, we even wore flowers in our hair during our Sienna Miller boho phase of a few years back. So it's no surprise that we're loving the floral look in our homes.

It's tempting to get carried away, but then you'll be in danger of thinking you're actually living in Kew Gardens. Still, a few blooms, whether they're on wallpaper, fabric, furnishings or in a vase, offer a refreshing, and suitably spring-like, change from the graphic shapes and minimalism of the past decade. Next has wooden flower sculptures, Au Naturale has a tropical flower-patterned double bed duvet set and even Kylie has featured petal-power in her Kylie At Home bedlinen and accessories collection.

Queen of the look, though, is Ms Kidston, with her abundance of pretty blossoms and buds on everything from to-die-for fabric by the metre to must-have bedspreads. She's even managed to make ironing seem less boring with her pretty ironing board covers - that's true flower power for you! Cath Kidtson is available at Avoca, Belfast and in stores throughout Northern Ireland or online at www.cathkidtson.co.uk
