Fresh Flowers in your Home
Bringing fresh cut flowers into your home adds colour and scent it is true, but the flowers add an extra dimension that cannot be created with soft furnishings and accessories – they bring with them a sense of life and growth, making a room come alive. Having fresh flowers in your home, even if only at weekends or during holidays, will instantly cheer you, your family and friends and make your home much more welcoming.
Each season brings a fresh range of flowers and foliage to be used around the house, and whether you wish to create a formal arrangement for a celebration or simply add some fresh flowers to a room, there is always something new to try. You can make the most of special features in any room with a carefully chosen and arranged selection of flowers, empty fireplaces, table tops bedside cabinets, vanity shelves in bathroom and kitchen tables are all ideal places to feature an arrangement of colourful flowers.
Once you have chosen a group of flowers and foliage that you think will go well together, consider where the arrangement will be placed and which container you plan to use. It is then a matter of creating a shape that shows off the flowers and foliage to their best advantage. Keep a record of arrangements that catch your eye and try to think why they attract you. Dramatic arrangements in hotel lobbies, for example are great inspiration for smaller scale arrangements in your own home.
