Floral Fabric Buying Guide
Floral fabrics are versatile and come in many different prints. Florals can be realistic, artistic, funky, small, large, or a combination of many of those options. Florals can be just floral, or can be blended with animals, insects, mythical creatures, and more. Floral fabrics don’t necessarily have to be blooms or flowers either. There are tons of different fabrics that are under the floral category that you wouldn’t think of as necessarily floral. These fabrics might feature leaves, swirls, or even things like vegetables. When it comes to florals, the choices are extremely varied.
Florals on a Budget
Floral fabric can be purchased for just about any budget. Floral options are literally almost limitless. Many floral fabrics can be purchased for between five to ten dollars a yard, or right around ten dollars per yard. Others, depending on what fibers they are made from, might be more expensive and range in the fifteen to twenty dollar a yard mark, but there are definitely tons of options in both natural or synthetic fibers that can be purchased quite inexpensively.
Paring Floral Fabrics
Pairing floral fabrics with other solid colors, especially if the floral fabric is more expensive, is a great way to stretch that fabric just a little bit further, but also to set off the different colors in the floral fabric. Florals can be paired with just about any solid color, or even with other printed fabrics. Florals are really fun to pair together, or with other prints, especially for projects like quilts, toss cushions, table cloths, curtains, and even apparel items.
