With the right type of flower and the best vase, you can really make your style stand out. Not sure if you want to look modern and cool or big and bright? Here are seven great ideas for bringing flowers into your home. Well-chosen blooms are perfect for just any room in the house and will instantly make it feel better.
The Hero of the Halls
There’s no better way to welcome someone into your home than with a beautiful arrangement of flowers. And because of this, one of the best places to show off of an arrangement is in the hallway. When people come to your house, something bright and interesting will always start a conversation.
This room by Helen Green Selected how to use high ceilings to your advantage. A tall, full bunch of purple and green white flowers, roses, and dahlias, while walking up this same elegant staircase, and from above. Take a look at the vase. Its sculptural shape gives the pretty arrangement some edge, and its neutral colors let the colors of the flowers do the talking.
The Flower in Line
Your best bunch of flowers will look great on a dining table. A single centerpiece looks great in the middle of a round table, while multiple vases look great in the middle of a long table. Three dark vases make an elegant line-up on this dining room table. They walk down a catwalk made out of a neutral runner. Each vase has a stepped base and is filled to the brim with snow-white roses, hydrangeas, and lilies. Look at how the flower arrangements are at different heights. The overall appearance is balanced but not flat.
Flower beauty by the bedside
A sweet way to decorate your bedside table is with a posy of pretty flowers. Going to add an arrangement to one’s space not only makes it look better, but it can also make you feel better and get you ready for a good day. Your bedroom will be the last place you’ll be at night as well as the initial place you’ll be in the morning, so it’s important to make it a place you enjoy being in.
Stay away from arrangements that are too big, because you’ll need space for just a bedside lamp, one’s favorite books to read at night, and any other items or necessities you want close by.
Contrast & Texture
Take a cue from Brendan Wong and use flowers with different colors and textures to change the look of your living space. Inside the corner of the space, a vase of stems with different textures stacked on a set of laying eggs side tables gives the room a more rugged look. A few natural objects and a painting which makes you think of the natural systems in stone add to the natural feel.
Change the colors of your flowers every few weeks to give your room a new look. This purple color scheme matches the lilac chairs, but you could also use emerald green as well as fuchsia pink flowers instead.
Having less is better
In interior design, sometimes the least amount of work can have the biggest effect. The same is true for plants and flowers; sometimes when the simplest addition gives the best results. Laura Hammett, a top London interior designer, is a master at styling coffee tables for Helen projects so that they are just the right amount of fancy and casual. In the end, design revolves around the details, and not about how many there are.
A single plant in an angle black vase adds fresh color and a touch of texture to this sleek, smooth-edged tabletop arrangement. Give your favorite flower or plant a starring role on one’s coffee table for an easy way to draw attention.
At Your Dienst
When deciding where to put your flower arrangements, it’s fun to think outside the box a little bit. Don’t think that you can only buy tables and sideboards. Think about using potted plants, a mantelpiece, or a window sill that requires a little something to stand out on the floor.
The designer, who grew up in Miami, says that nature and natural materials give her a lot of ideas.
The Shelf Life
The British interior designers at Alexander James Interior Design show how employing a single arrangement more than once can be a good thing. The repetitive technique is simple and striking at the same time. It is quick to do and easy to change to maintain your space feeling new.
This sleek shelf unit has three flower arrangements that add pops of bright pink pink to the upper and lower shelves. The color of the flowers really stands out in clear glass vases, while the color of the flowers takes center stage in smoky gray cylindrical flower pots that are left empty on purpose.
