How to Decorate Your Home with Fresh Flowers
Don’t you just love the smell of flowers? You can brighten up your home in so many different ways with fresh cut flowers. But what if you don’t have a green thumb?
It’s okay because decorating with fresh flowers takes much less maintenance than planting a flower garden. It’s also easy on the budget, since most beauties are found abundantly outside during spring. Here is my guide to bring the fresh flowers indoors, transforming your home for spring and adding a bright spot of colors anywhere in your house.
Home decorating can be a fun and fulfilling experience. It’s a chance to display your personality and style, and have it reflected in your home. There are many ways to decorate your house, but among the most popular is displaying flowers. Fresh flowers are easy to find and add a bright splash of color any time of year. Like so many other things in life, the happier you make yourself the better your attitude and mood. Having beautiful flowers around reminds me how much better I feel when my space is well-decorated with plants, flowers and mini décor items that make me happy.
The Foyer & Hallway
Flowers are the best way to make a great first impression in any home. They smell lovely, they look fantastic and they are very easy to give away. A small bunch of fresh flowers just inside the front door makes a simple yet elegant welcome.
One of the first places your friends and family members look when they enter your home is at the flowers you have chosen to decorate your space. A beautiful entryway with freshly cut flowers can make a great first impression that will leave your guests looking at you differently than when they walked in.
The Dining Room
The versatility of fresh flowers and their association with quality, elegance, and beauty has made them invaluable to home decorating. Dining at home has never looked so, well, impressive. Making a centerpiece for your dining room table is an easy way to add some personality and meaning to your home. Plus, you can use seasonal ingredients that match the weather. I love decorating my dining room table! It’s one of my favorite things to do on a Saturday morning.
The Living Spaces
Add some life to your living space. Your home is your safe haven, a place where you can relax and feel at ease. Fresh flowers add a level of ambience to any room or enclosed space that is beneficial to your health and well being.
A fresh flower always comes in handy. It can be easily transported, arranged by yourself and it will beautify your interiors. A bouquet of flowers brings life to the dullest room! Review your living spaces to see where a touch of color and floral beauty can enhance the look and feel of the space. The coffee table in your living room or the nightstand in your bedroom are obvious choices, but flowers also make great decorations for mantels, windowsills, and empty shelves as well
Patios & Porches
When we think about decorating our homes, we often overlook something very important — the outside. This is a big mistake because your home’s front porch is a great way to welcome your guests. Your front yard can really impact the overall look and feel of your home by adding curb appeal.
Have you ever had guests over for a barbecue or cocktails and been embarrassed about the state of your patio or porch? I have. Many times. It looks like an abandoned shed out there. And to top it off, the last time I was outside and my dog had an accident. Not good. So how can you make it look better? By decorating with pots of fresh flowers!
Creative Containers
Have you ever considered decorating your home with fresh flowers in creative containers? Jars, bottles, bowls, and more can be used to really accentuate the style and design of the room and enhance the impact of your flowers. I believe it is an easy and wonderful way to highlight your rooms while keeping the colors and style of your home in mind.
The Succulent Solution
Some people are so busy, stressed, or otherwise flustered that they can’t find a few spare minutes in the day to care for fresh flowers. They’re often destroyed within days by pets, children, and may even stop blooming. So if you find yourself in this group of people who can’t seem to take care of flowers properly, consider succulents in your home decor instead. There are many beautiful, and creative, solutions using succulents that will help you add a nature touch to your space without all the work of maintaining bouquets.
Flowers are so useful in decorating because they accentuate the ambience of a room, drawing the eye and drawing you in to relax. They can also be utilized to create an illusion of more space than is really there. Careful placement of flowerpots will make your room look bigger, brighter and allow you to feel better about your own home and its layout. Decorating with flowers allows you to have healthy beautiful things indoors, improves energy levels, stimulates creativity and helps you feel happier. Flower power – as they say!
