Whereas the presence of flowers is normally associated with joy and brightness, this design trend, well, goes in the opposite direction. As the name implies, moody floral is all about big, lush flowers with a decidedly melancholic tone.\nThat&acirc;&euro;&trade;s not to say that this design trend is at all unattractive. Far from it. Certainly, the more somber, cooler shades of blue, deep red, berry and even pitch black are stylish and captivating in their own moody way. It&acirc;&euro;&trade;s beautiful in the same way that a Greek tragedy is beautiful. It draws on the age-old themes of <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/diy-wedding-invitations-floral\">florals,&Acirc;&nbsp;<\/a>which are present in numerous design trends, to create something truly unforgettable.\nSo if you&acirc;&euro;&trade;re looking for suggestions on how to get the most out of this trend, in addition to understanding where it came from and its traits, then read on.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_History_of_Moody_Floral\"><\/span>The History of Moody Floral<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>\nTo get a grasp of where this design trend came from, we have to go back and examine floral design in earnest. Floral design or floral arrangement is defined as the technique that utilizes flowers and plant materials to produce aesthetic and balanced <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/photography-composition-the-10-minute-guide\">compositions<\/a>. The beauty of floral arrangement is that it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s not strictly limited to real-life flora; anything graphic or web design-based or in images qualifies as floral design, too.\nBelieve it or not, evidence of floral design goes back to ancient Egypt, so we know that the broader design trend is at least thousands of years old. By 2500 BCE, it was customary for Egyptians to use flowers in d&Atilde;&copy;cor and design. For instance, they displayed cut flowers in ornate vases while significantly stylized arrangements were part of everything from burials and processions to everyday table decorations. We know that floral design goes back at least to the Egyptians since there are chiseled stone reliefs as well as illustrated wall paintings that document this.\nReligion was of great importance to the Egyptians, so it makes sense that flowers were chosen due to their symbolism. The water lily was regarded as sacred to the major goddess Isis; therefore, it was prominently featured in various arrangements.\nOther flowers and plants also enjoyed high esteem in Egyptian culture, including:\n<\/p><ul>\n \t<li>Roses<\/li>\n \t<li>Narcissus<\/li>\n \t<li>Poppy-flowered anemone<\/li>\n \t<li>Delphinium<\/li>\n \t<li>Irises<\/li>\n \t<li>Papyruses<\/li>\n \t<li>Palm trees<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\nRoses and delphiniums&acirc;&euro;&rdquo;particularly their darker and deeper shades&acirc;&euro;&rdquo;are ideal for moody floral patterns, as you&acirc;&euro;&trade;ll see later on.\nFrom the Egyptians onward, floral arrangements seem to have jumped from one ancient race to the next.\nThe ancient Greeks&acirc;&euro;&rdquo;known for bringing the world democracy and philosophy&acirc;&euro;&rdquo;also were connoisseurs of flora. Florals are featured in ancient Greek artwork, but what was interesting about their use of flora was their lack of interest in vases. Often, they used flowers as part of garlands and wreaths. Olive branches, too, would be placed in terracotta for d&Atilde;&copy;cor, while the simplest of arrangements like throwing petals on beds and floors was customary.\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51796\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2019\/04\/18024534\/ben-lee-769197-unsplash.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"5721\" height=\"3653\">\n<\/p><h6 style=\"text-align: center\">Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@13enlee\">Ben Lee<\/a><\/h6><p>\nThe Romans had a similar taste for floral arrangement, yet the styling was uniquely theirs. Whereas the laurel wreath was a traditional symbol of achievement in the Greek world, given to the winners of their ancient Olympics, the Romans used laurel wreaths to commemorate all-important military victories over their enemies, as well as crowning winning military commanders for their triumphs.\nSome of the favorite flowers used in arrangements during the Greco-Roman age were:\n<\/p><ul>\n \t<li>Lilies<\/li>\n \t<li>Roses<\/li>\n \t<li>Honeysuckles<\/li>\n \t<li>Hyacinths<\/li>\n \t<li>Violets<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\nHere, too, the darker shades of roses, violets and hyacinths would be absolutely ideal for use in moody floral arrangements.\nTo understand this relationship better, have a look at some of our favorite&Acirc;&nbsp;digital assets in this style:    <figure id=\"card-935482-1389583067\" class=\"product-card full 1\" data-product-id=\"935482\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"full\" data-pin_it=\"1\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"1389583067\"><\/figure>\n        <figure id=\"card-3033483-360163841\" class=\"product-card full 1\" data-product-id=\"3033483\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"full\" data-pin_it=\"1\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"360163841\"><\/figure>\n        <figure id=\"card-2504489-975607053\" class=\"product-card full 1\" data-product-id=\"2504489\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"full\" data-pin_it=\"1\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"975607053\"><\/figure>\n        <figure id=\"card-2417447-393876789\" class=\"product-card full 1\" data-product-id=\"2417447\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"full\" data-pin_it=\"1\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"393876789\"><\/figure>\n    \nAncient China also figures prominently in this broader trend&acirc;&euro;&trade;s history. Floral arrangements became popular during the Han dynasty, when they were a core aspect of both medicine and religion. Followers of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism arranged cut flowers on altars; paintings, embroidery, and carvings also featured floral themes.\nIn China, too, floral arrangements were connected to rich symbolism. Fertility was represented by orchids and tiger lilies, while bamboo and pear trees stood for longevity. However, the most honored flower was the <em>peony<\/em>, which symbolized wealth, high esteem, and good fortune.\nSo far, we&acirc;&euro;&trade;ve seen interesting developments in floral design that will ultimately lead to the moody florals we&#8217;re seeing today. But before we can understand this contemporary style, we have to examine how this trend developed in Europe before the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century.\nFloral arrangements became a popular concept during the time of the Crusades, as returning Crusaders brought back with them exotic flowers from the Middle East. During the Middle Ages, florals were popular in monasteries and churches, where monks tended to their gardens. Eventually, they took center stage in paintings, altar pictures, and manuscripts.\nBy the time of the Renaissance, paintings featuring flora in vases was a popular trend; this started in Italy and spread throughout Europe. It has to be said that the Renaissance probably did more for modern floral arrangement than any other era preceding it, as this period saw the birth of various arrangement and container styles (marble, bronze, etc.); the introduction of tropical fruits in arrangements; and the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/is-there-a-science-to-picking-colors\">color<\/a> contrast, all elements of floral design still in use today.\nIn each major European era that followed&acirc;&euro;&rdquo;Baroque, French and Georgian&acirc;&euro;&rdquo;florals were continually reinvented and tweaked according to the time&acirc;&euro;&trade;s sensibilities.\nThat takes us to Victorian-style arrangements, which is when the broader trend of floral design became fashionable and associated with good style. Florals became so popular during this time, from the 18<sup>th<\/sup> to the early 19<sup>th<\/sup> centuries, that official rules and regulations were beginning to come into effect to ensure consistency in floral design. This eventually led to its development as a profession and artistic skill.\nFast-forwarding through the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, we reach our current decade. Where did moody florals come from?\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51798\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2019\/04\/18024540\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-27-at-10.00.25-AM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"677\" height=\"750\">\n<\/p><h6 style=\"text-align: center\">Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brides.com\/\">Brides.com<\/a><\/h6><p>\nAn evolution of floral design in general, it seems to have entered the public consciousness very recently only. A quick web search indicates that, a couple of years ago, Brides.com started to feature more content that displayed darker and more brooding floral themes as part of the d&Atilde;&copy;cor they began noticing at <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/15-wedding-invitations-with-unique-typography\">weddings<\/a> and even on cake decoration, thus popularizing the term. Eventually, this design trend started to branch out into additional areas like graphic design, web design, and interiors.\n<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Characteristics_of_the_Moody_Floral_Style\"><\/span>Characteristics of the Moody Floral Style<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>\nAs far as design trends go, this one conjures up epic emotional landscapes right from the get go. You can thank its use of cool, somber, and soothing color tones for that, to be sure, but also its nature-based roots, which remind us that we&acirc;&euro;&trade;re all organic, interconnected living things.\nAlso of note is the stimulating juxtaposition here. Normally, when you think of flowers in d&Atilde;&copy;cor, you think of upbeat emotions like effusive joy. Moody floral throws a big curveball at that expectation, which makes it a charming design trend. Here, we have an aesthetic that shows us the range of emotions and design possibilities you can attain with floral d&Atilde;&copy;cor.\nHere are the telltale traits of this trend:\n<\/p><ul>\n \t<li>Neutral colors<\/li>\n \t<li>Cooler colors (blues, purples, violets, greens)<\/li>\n \t<li>Darker and deeper shades and hues of cooler colors<\/li>\n \t<li>Bold patterns<\/li>\n \t<li>Striking arrangements<\/li>\n \t<li>Melancholy or somber themes<\/li>\n \t<li>Evocative<\/li>\n \t<li>Mysterious<\/li>\n \t<li>Contrast in colors and patterns<\/li>\n \t<li>Classic, timeless, or even vintage look<\/li>\n \t<li>Sumptuous folds and textures (interiors)<\/li>\n \t<li>Natural materials (interiors)<\/li>\n \t<li>Candlelight (interiors)<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\nThrough these unique traits, moody has separated itself from any other style of floral arrangement and carved out its own, bold niche as far as design trends go.\n<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Moody_Floral_in_Graphic_Design\"><\/span>Moody Floral in Graphic Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>\nThe transition of this trend from real-life arrangements to graphics shows the versatility of using flora in design.

The carpet you choose to literally lay the foundation for this trend should exude deep hues, such as a dark raspberry or a combination of black and a deep blue.\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51807\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2019\/04\/18024603\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-27-at-10.21.45-AM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"677\" height=\"766\">\n<\/p><h6 style=\"text-align: center\">Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cb2.com\/daphne-black-floral-rug\/f19241\">CB2<\/a><\/h6><p>\nWhile black in carpets works with this design scheme because it&acirc;&euro;&trade;s a neutral color (which goes with everything), think farther than this. Look for carpeting that has other neutral colors&acirc;&euro;&rdquo;like white or shades of white, for a lighter appearance. This&acirc;&euro;&trade;ll make the darker colors of moody florals pop even more due to the greater contrast.\n<\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wallpaper\"><\/span>Wallpaper<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>\nWe&acirc;&euro;&trade;ve addressed the floors; now, we move to the walls with moody wallpaper. Transforming one, entire wall of your room into a flower mural with the right wallpaper can create quite the conversation piece.\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51805\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2019\/04\/18024609\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-27-at-10.15.03-AM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"571\">\n<\/p><h6 style=\"text-align: center\">Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idealhome.co.uk\/\">Ideal Home<\/a><\/h6><p>\nPick wallpaper that gives people the unexpected, even for this trend. Whereas darker hues and tones are commonplace, go with something surprising, like slightly warmer shades of orange, red or yellow. The design will still be moody, but contain enough lighter elements to noticeably contrast with other moody-floral elements that you have in your home, creating something unforgettable.\n<\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bedrooms\"><\/span>Bedrooms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>\nWhat bedroom d&Atilde;&copy;cor usually sets the tone in this room? Your bedding, of course. When you enter a bedroom, your eye is always first drawn to the bed, so be choosy about the bedsheets and comforters you select. Luckily, moody tones work well in bedrooms because of their cozy and relaxing connotations.\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51806\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2019\/04\/18024614\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-27-at-10.18.52-AM.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"673\" height=\"884\">\n<\/p><h6 style=\"text-align: center\">Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digsdigs.com\/\">DigsDigs<\/a><\/h6><p>\nStellar choices for bedding to align with moody floral&acirc;&euro;&trade;s colors include cobalt blue for its darker tones and deep red. Keep in mind, too, that grounded colors (neutrals like blacks and even browns) help to make darker florals stand out. That&acirc;&euro;&trade;s why there should be a lot of color contrast in your bedding as well.\n<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dark_Mystical_Unexpected\"><\/span>Dark, Mystical &amp; Unexpected<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>\nMoody florals may be something of a misnomer because there&acirc;&euro;&trade;s nothing disturbing about this captivating design trend. On the contrary, gazing at floral arrangements, pictures, illustrations, graphic designs, and wallpapers that feature this trend is epic and evocative. You definitely get the impression of something magical and mystical happening all around you.\nThis trend&acirc;&euro;&trade;s heavy reliance on darker, cool colors is what really gives it its uniqueness. Together with just the right amount of contrast in the form of neutrals and textures, this style leaves an indelible impression.\n<\/p><hr><strong>Products Seen In This Post:<\/strong><\/p>    <figure id=\"card-3151428-1134459732\" class=\"product-card half no-pinit\" data-product-id=\"3151428\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"half\" data-pin_it=\"no-pinit\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"1134459732\"><\/figure>\n        <figure id=\"card-2076806-1867313095\" class=\"product-card half no-pinit\" data-product-id=\"2076806\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"half\" data-pin_it=\"no-pinit\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"1867313095\"><\/figure>\n    \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moody floral takes the concept of designing with flowers and turns it on its head.
