According to experts, floral and nature-inspired prints are a dominant trend for the year. Beyond temporary bouquets, incorporating floral-printed furniture into the home is a surefire way to brighten up a room – a design choice perfectly demonstrated in Glenn's own space.

'Floral and botanical motifs are making a grand comeback,' says interior trends expert Johanna Constantinou. 'From wallpapers to upholstery, large-scale botanical prints add a touch of nature and vibrancy to interiors. Pairing these prints with neutral tones ensures they remain the focal point without overwhelming the space.'

She continues, 'The key to incorporating bold botanical prints is balance – pairing them with neutral backgrounds and minimalist decor elements ensures they remain an accent rather than an overwhelming feature. You can also experiment with botanical-themed rugs and textured carpets, seamlessly integrating nature-inspired prints with functional design.'

The Fatal Attraction actress expertly embraces this balance by opting for clean white paint on her exposed brick wall. This choice lightens the room and provides a simple, minimalist backdrop that allows her stunning floral decor to take center stage, echoing the bright, airy feel of a sunny spring morning.
