This post is a collection of 12 pretty floral patterns in fabrics that feel good to wear and dress your home with this summer. 

Mercury is soaring. It’s only 7:00 a.m. As I draw the curtains in my living room, it’s blinding with light from the morning sun streaming through the tall windows.

The season of aam panna, chaach, and lemonade is here. As are chikans and something light and loose to wear.

Well, how about the home: do you dress your home like you would dress yourself ?

As much as I like the layers and cosiness of the winter, I love rusticity in summers — benches by the garden, floral fabrics for cushions and curtains, and white sheers lining the windows. One’s personal choice can be easily stamped in the things around them. Here are some ways to dress yourself and your home this summer.

It is all about flower power on cushions, curtains, table cloths and mats, bed spreads , jewelry, clothes etc. Floral fabrics in candy, pastel colors signify lightness that is easy on the eye. whether it is drape yourself or use as furnishing in your home.
