9 Ways to decorate your home with Floral Interiors
11th Oct 2022
Flowers have a way of adding an uplifting, light and bright mood to any space. Whether you’re going for a bold, dashing, statement-worthy effect, or just some subtle and delicate botanical accents, you can trust floral interiors for that touch of class and style.
But we’ve all dealt with real flowers, and we know how they wither and wilt in no time. When it comes to using florals to decorate your home, it’s always a good idea to consider faux flowers instead. Don’t worry – nowadays, you get ultra-lifelike faux flowers too!
Yes, they look just like the real ones, indeed.
Create your flower arrangement - bundle them up or use them single – and once you’ve set up your floral décor piece, you can keep it as is for months to years!
We’ve put together a bunch of different ways to style artificial flowers for your home décor. Try them out yourself and see how much life and joy they’ll bring to your home.
1. In a tall pot brimming with life and colour
Here’s one way to start off with full bloom and a bold style statement to express yourself. Assemble a bunch of artificial plants and flowers in a tall pot placed at your home’s entrance.
Select a few trailing artificial garlands of Ivy, Vine Leaf, Peperoni, Staghorn, or Senecio, and crowd up a bunch of Boston Ferns, green grasses, maybe even some Astible grasses. Then add a few colourful floral highlights with faux Primrose, Portulaca or Geraniums of different colours – peach, red, yellow, magenta and lilac.
Go wild here! This tall pot is sure to ooze life into you every time you enter your home, and leave visitors with an unforgettable impression.
2. Place flower bunches in vases to create an attractive centrepiece
Candles are an excellent way to create a lovely, romantic ambiance to unwind in at the end of the day. When complimented with the right floral arrangement, you’ll be taking it one step further! Go all out with flower arrangements of artificial roses and peonies of different colors in beautiful vases. When it’s time for a special occasion, light up the candles to bring your centrepiece to life!
On the other hand, if you’re better off without that blast of colour, go for a wild bunch of white lilies in a beautiful white vase for that classy vibe.
3. Add an organic element to your bedside table
Just because your bedside is a very private space doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve some well-thought-out décor effort. A bundle of fake white Tulips or Daisies in a glass jar might be the perfect way to add that subtle and delicate coziness to your bedroom. If you like larger, bolder flowers, you can also go for the gorgeous Magnolias complemented with their rich green leaves instead.
4. Liven up your work desk
Ever since work-from-home became a thing, we’ve been constantly looking for ways to make our home workspace more lively and interesting. Adding a bouquet of artificial flowers is one sure-shot way to achieve this. It doesn’t have to be complicated even - just bundle up some pink and white roses or peonies together in a glass jar, and you’re set.
5. Hang fake flower baskets from the ceiling
If you think flowers-in-the-vase is overdone, consider hanging them in a basket instead! A rattan basket of blue hydrangeas, for example, would look splendid hanging next to a window. You could also hang it at your entrance to increase your home’s curb appeal.
6. Brighten up your dining table with a burst of yellow
Wouldn’t your family love to be greeted by some lovely yellow Wattle flowers every morning when they gather for breakfast? A bunch of bright yellow faux Australian natives set in a bronze planter is all the décor your dining table might need to transform the space and every meal.
7. Place some relaxing flowers on the bathroom counter
Why shouldn’t your bathroom be as inviting as the other rooms of the house? After all, you spend some of the key moments of your day in the bathroom! A few stems of faux white orchids could be just right to add that calmness and relaxation you need in your intimate zone.
8. Add color to your kitchen shelf and counter
If you’re someone who likes to spend their time in the kitchen, how about extending some of those floral interiors there too? A vase full of lilacs bunched up together and placed on the kitchen shelf will not only add life to those boring vessels and kitchen equipment, but also cheer you up every time you’re feeling down. If yellow’s your color of cheer, try the dancing orchids instead.
9. Consider flowering plants instead of just flowers
Agreed, faux flowers have a charm of their own, but you know what can bring more than just charm to your home décor? Artificial flowering plants! Think about it – wouldn’t a pot of the Spathiphyllum or Peace Lily next to your sofa look absolutely stunning? For a grand gesture, consider even a fake rose topiary or a cherry blossom tree ‘coz why not!
Faux flowers are an excellent option for floral interiors
Artificial flowers are a boon to anyone looking to add those lovely florals to their home décor. Unlike real flowers, they never wilt and wither away, so they don’t ask for a trip to the florist every couple of days. Of course, this also means that fake flowers are more cost-effective than real flowers in the long term. The best part, you never have to worry about the right season for your favourite blooms!
But… there’s one thing you need to make sure…
Make your faux flowers look real!
There’s nothing as tacky and unaccepting as fake flowers that look fake. If you’re going the faux way, the least you can do is to ensure your faux flowers look as realistic as possible. This means that you make no compromises when it comes to quality.
Buy only from brands that take care of the tiniest, the minutest of details. Whether it’s the color gradation or the petal arrangement, the faux water in the vase, the way the flower droops or the veins on the leaf, it’ll be worth it being picky while picking out the artificial flowers for your floral interiors.
