Giving Your Home That “Natural” Decorative Flair
When you’ve got a home that is full of flowers, it feels more natural. It feels more in touch with the outside world. This makes interior premises more stylish and peaceful. To that end, it’s definitely worthwhile to decorate with flowers, but your home is sort of like a blank canvas. With any blank canvas, getting started can be tough.
Some people prefer to just dip their brush in the paint and see where the lines on the blankness take them, others prefer to start with a plan and follow it through, sometimes you want to mix a little of either approach.
Since your home is your blank decorative canvas for interior décor, in this article are four suggestions for floral design that are worth considering. Hopefully at minimum these suggestions stimulate your artistic center and spur you on to fine interior designs.
1. Turn Sconces for Lights Into Flower Holders
Wall sconces with burned-out lightbulbs have likely been sitting in shadow just out of arm’s reach for a few weeks in your home. Those burned out bulbs can be a pain to replace.
Well, if you’ve had such a sconce with a burned out bulb long enough, you might just throw in the towel and put some potted flowers there instead. You might have a bit of a challenge watering it, but the end result does tend to be worth the trouble.
2. Floral Arrangements Make Great Centerpieces
Flowers have always been ideally suited for the center of kitchen, coffee, and dining tables. A nice bouquet ties the room together, and subtle floral perfumes can act in a subconscious way on guests around the table.
3. Pressed Flowers Can Be Mounted Like Paintings
Pressed flowers and dry flowers can also be excellent decorative accents. You can press a bouquet and present it under glass like a fine painting, if that suits you. It’s a sort of floral taxidermy, if you will. Check out this link to learn more about how to make your own pressed flowers.
4. Corner Blooms: Potted Flowers With Mirrors in the Corner
If you’ve got an empty area of a room over in a corner, here’s an idea. Get a foldable floor-to-ceiling mirror, and stick a waist-high potted plant in the center of that mirrored arrangement. The mirror will make the whole room seem larger, and properly accent whatever flowers or other plants you decide are best for that particular vase.
Decoration That Positively Blooms
Corner blooms can be set off by a mirror, pressed flowers might be hung like paintings with proper preservation techniques, a bouquet in the center of virtually any table tends to make the whole room feel fresh, and reimagining existing decorative designs like wall sconces to be used for floral presentation is also a fine option for interior floral décor.
These are just ideas, maybe some resonate with you, maybe none do. Whatever the case, if you’ve got a room or two that needs that certain “something”, adding a few flowers could be the right move.
