Flower Love
It’s almost impossible not to smile at the sight and smell of beautiful fresh flowers. Why not bring them into your home as a creative addition to your decor? Not only do they complement color schemes, but they also offer other benefits.
Some flowering plants like gerberas filter the air, removing toxins, and releasing fresh oxygen, while the smell of roses has been shown to improve people’s moods and create a relaxed atmosphere.
In fact, every flower of every color goes a long way towards enhancing the feeling of space. That’s why we’ve put together some creative ideas you can use to decorate flowers. And one of the best ways to get started is: For example, by saving 12% at eFlorist.
Flowers to match your interior
When you get creative with flowers, the only limitation is your imagination. Flowers come in all shapes, colors, and sizes, so finding ones that match the color scheme of your room shouldn’t be a problem. Either keep your decorative ideas subtle and choose flowers to match your upholstered furniture, or be a little more outrageous with bold colors and dramatic blooms that provide eye-catching contrast and a talking point.
Highlight a table or sideboard with a floral centerpiece arranged in a low, wide vessel. Start with a base layer of green in different but complementary hues, then add flowers in a color scheme of your choice. Start with larger flowers and work towards the middle where you can end up with more delicate stems.
One unusual way to make the most of a mantelpiece or shelf is to put together a collection of glass bottles of various shapes and sizes. Fill with water and share a bouquet or bouquet between them. Enhance this stylish way of displaying stems by finishing off with some loops in clay colors.
A touch of contemporary Victoriana
Be creative and don’t always think of flowers in bowls and water vases. It’s easy to create a romantic floral display by taking a cork board and pinning it in place some antique floral prints to. Then add individual flower stalks, some pointing up and others hanging down. This is especially effective when using subtle and romantic shades of pink, lilac, creamy white, peach, and tea rose.
Another effective way to create a vintage look is by making freestanding bouquets of flowers. Start with a base flower, then gradually add stems at different angles, rotating the bouquet as you go, keeping the stem ends the same length. Secure your bouquet before wrapping a vintage lace ribbon around the stems and standing up so that you can be admired.
