And thanks to GreenRow's vintage design sensibilities, it boasts a nostalgic, character-driven look, too.
The range brings decorating with florals to all parts of the home – with everything from floral wallpaper and bedding to floral rugs and lamp shades. But what seems most apt for right now is the alluring assortment of floral tableware – consisting of pieces that can make summer hosting look more charming than ever before.
