Co-written Featured Partner Post
When it comes to those finer details to make the most of your home decor, a good idea is always to include fresh flowers. Cut flowers displayed in a vase can instantly elevate a room, but have you ever wondered where is the best position in your home for your blooms to make the biggest impact?
Here are five key placement areas for fresh flowers at home to draw the eye and enhance the best features of your space.
1. The Welcoming Entryway
Placing a posy of blooms on a slimline console table or central hallway table makes your home instantly inviting and sets the tone for the rest of the house, just like how a high-end hotel always features fresh flowers at the check-in desk. Consider the shape and size of your hall or entrance and choose a vessel that works well within the space to accommodate your blooms.
2. The Lively Living Room
Look at the key focal points within your living room and place flowers on or around them to highlight their features and create a visual anchor. If you have a log burner or an open fire, place flowers on the mantle. If you have a central coffee table, position a small posy in the centre, perhaps within a decorative scalloped tray.
3. The Serene Bedroom
Escape to a serene retreat in your bedroom by positioning fresh flowers where they can soothe the soul at the end of the day. Bud vases work particularly well on side tables as they do not take up too much space and you’ll only require a single floral stem.
4. The Culinary Canvas: Kitchen
A splash of petals among pots and pans can inspire creativity as you sauté and simmer. If you have a kitchen island, place tall, dramatic blooms on it to fill up the space and stop it from feeling like too much of an expansive working area.
Alternatively, a small posy of garden flowers (like sweet peas in a jam jar) by the sink adds a touch of country charm to the kitchen.
The Study or Home Office
Fresh flowers in your study or home office can fuel creativity and clarity of thought. A small vase on your desk brings natural inspiration, while scented blooms are relaxing and invigorating.
Choosing the Perfect Fresh Flowers to Complement Your Interior Design
The right flowers can enhance your home decor. Try to keep to a seasonal palette for authenticity and always change the water in your vase every couple of days. To get started, order flowers for tomorrow, today. To choose the right blooms for your home style and interior, follow these simple tips:
Opt for hues that accentuate or contrast with your room color scheme.
Select arrangements that mirror the formality of your space—laid-back or luxurious.
Consider longevity; some blooms outlast others, offering enduring beauty.
Don't forget scent—a subtle fragrance can elevate any room.
