Things We Love: Botanical Prints



Nancy Corzine Design via Ava Living
There are any number of elements that combine in a room to make it come together seamlessly.
Amelia Handegan Design via Southern Accents
But if we had to pick just one thing that makes an incredible impact, I think it would have to be the art.
Sandra Nunnerly Designer via Architectural Digest
When it comes to what adorns our walls, sometimes we feel like oils get all the press.
Charles Birdsong Design via Southern Living
But, as lovely as a painting can be, we absolutely adore botanical prints.

A wall of simply framed botanical prints like these can have such an enormous impact in a space and make it seem instantly bigger, brighter and more fun.
Ken Gemes Design
Change the scale and dress up the frames and those same prints can look elegant, refined and staid.
 Richard Hallberg Design via Veranda
We love the bold green of these prints and the way the frame seems to fade away, showcasing the print. The way the green is mirrored on the table is so fabulous!
Emma Burns Design
Mirrored frames are always a favorite, and we like how the white mats around these prints really set off the art inside.
Bunny Williams Design
There's nothing better than a set of botanical prints to anchor a wall with a lot of floor-to-ceiling space.
Liz Williams Designer
This set is perhaps our favorite. The mats add such a subtle contrast and the frames are so sophisticated. You really can use a botanical print in any room! 
Thanks for visiting!

I agree! The art makes the room, which may be why I have such a tough time committing to what should go where. I love botanical prints and the impact they have in a grouping.
Have a beautiful Wednesday.

Great selection! I'm a fan of botanical shapes and it's a nice way of bringing some nature indoors.

Beautiful post...love botanical prints, and have a beautiful grouping we bought at auction few years ago and I cannot wait to find a place for them! Hope you have a great afternoon, loved this eye candy on "my coffee break"...lol.

Love these examples. I have used botanical prints in the past and love the look.

A set of six botanicals have been on my wish list for a while now... these images remind me of why.... beautiful! Love them in black frames...

Decor Arts Now said...

I have different types in several rooms--- my latest crush are botanicals with a black ground!
Love them!

Noe @ ADELLA AVENUE said...

I just love the prints in the second to last bedroom shot. Love all these different ideas for botanical prints!

Carla Aston said...

Love some botanicals, especially those in the Richard Hallerg room. Love that green and the way they bring in some nature.

Acquired Objects said...

I love art in groups and botanicals are a perfect grouping. Love the bold ones by Richard Hallberg and Bunny Williams used a gilt sea shell I'd love to have in my home.

Hugs!

Katelyn @ Pure Panache said...

So fresh and clean! I love all these photos - great finds!

Jennifer @ Belclaire House said...

I love botanical prints! I find they inject a dose of nature in the room almost as well as real plants, which is good since I'm the worst at keeping flowers and plants around. You just can't go wrong with botanical prints. This is a great selection of images. I'm always looking for ways to frame them. I'll have to bookmark this post!

Brooke said...

Such a lovely post! Botanical prints are a true classic, and the images you have collected are beautiful.

Ispirato Design said...

Art is one of those finishing touches that completes the story. Botanicals are so classic!

serena at FarmHouseUrban said...

Agree completely about how important art is in design. Loved all the images you've collected of botanicals!

Fashion-isha said...

I for one am a huge fan of botanical prints. They bring such a fresh element of nature to any room. That 3rd photo of the kitchen is fabulous as is the dining room from Veranda!!

Botanicals haven't been getting too much attention lately but they are truly classic and beautiful.

Barbara@HausDesign said...

I'm also a big fan...I did a post on them a while back but most of these images are new to me and i loved several!

classic • casual • home said...

I love them too...the second photo is engraved in my mind. Love it!!!

Gild and Grace said...

I love a botanical print so much! I have tons of them sitting there waiting to be framed :)

Thoughts on Design said...

A well framed pice of art in a room is like frosting made with real butter on a scratch made cake.

Sally and I will often use botanicals to add a sense of serenity to a room.

Cheers,
John

Lisa Mende Design said...

I love this post! Botanicals are some of my favorite art pieces! Am trying to figure out what kind I want to use in a dining room I am working on. This gave me some great examples! Love the ones from Veranda. the scale is great! Good job!

Crissy @ House of Marlowe said...

I agree! Art makes all the difference. And the botanical prints are always stylish. My favorite, though, are the ones in the kitchen.... such an unexpected, homey touch!

Gwen Driscoll said...

Love them too...second picture is my fave & has been for a long time. Happy Day!

Punctuation Mark said...

love the ferns...they are so elegant!

michelle said...

These are so beautiful as are the rooms that they are all displayed in.

Jennings and Gates said...

So true! Botanical prints are making an enormous comeback. Folks seem to be craving a return to nature and nature inspired colors and images in their homes. Thanks for the wonderful post!

Marion Pannekoek said...

The ferns are my favorite! Thank you for all these ideas of hanging the prints in groups, that way they have a great impact!

Elly @ Caribbean Living said...

Love love love, image #2 is le bee's knees! Ooh, and the last one. Great idea, thanks for sharing!

lisaroyhandbags said...

I completely agree! Those mirrored frames in pic 1 are gorg!

Sabina said...

I especially loved the way the artwork is arranged in that one room and the way the arches on the bed posts make an unusually shaped room even more architecturally interesting.

mwaxter said...

What a nice post, on the lookout for some for my new breakfast room. I love the look, Ballard had a nice selection of them last year and wish I had bought them but am sure I will find something. This post reinforces my desire to put them there!

Lisa - A Room with A View said...

I bought a set of these at a sample sale many years ago and used them in our Manhattan apartment but outgrew them when we bought our suburban house (funny - the set could have had many potential homes in this house). I gave them away but this is inspiring. I love the second picture and how the canopy of the bed frame frames the layout.

PriscilaPetersDecor said...

I agree. The last one is stunning. Love the frames too.
Great post.

I adore botanical prints. I have a set of 4 in my living room and another set in my dining room. I agree that art comes in many forms and it doesn't always have to be a painting. Mixing it up keeps it fresh!

Botanicals are always a lighter, fresher route to take, Love them!

Susan said...

What gorgeous rooms! I love botanical prints - I also love John Audobon bird prints - I think they would make a an attractive display.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Haus and Home said...

I like the vintage botanical prints and when they are grouped together!!! Such great images showcasing the different botanicals.

Taylor Greenwalt said...

I am just have some botanicals framed. Cant wait to get them up! Great post...

Kathy said...

Its interesting about oil getting all the press. I use to be on the hunt for oil paintings. But then they became so abundant that I'm not so enthralled with them anymore. Collections of botanicals seem to refreshing now. Wonderful post.

Love the prints with the rollling pin bench! We have one for sale in the shop and it's nice to see how people use them!
