If you think a house can only be decorated with colorful paints and expensive decorations, you are not alone; it’s a common misconception. I myself make my sweet home gorgeous using flowers.
There is a famous quote by an amazing poet and philosopher, Edwin Curran, that says ‘Flowers are music of the ground from earth’s lips spoken without sounds’, and trust me, this music can fill your home with happiness and joy.
How? You just need to learn how to use different flowers in different places. If you have enough space, you can pick flowers from your garden, but if not, you can buy from shops like big flowers. To know more about this decoration, let’s dive into the blog.
Living Room: A Statement of Color
In my home, the living room is the main place I spend time with my beautiful family, lovely friends, and guests. If this space is so important, it should look good, right? To do this, I bought a big white vase as it goes well with everything.
For flowers, I just went for big blooms like sunflowers. You can also pick between hydrangeas or peonies. I put them on my coffee table, and they literally change the look of the whole room. You can do the same with different flowers and a vase to brighten up your living room, too.
Kitchen: Freshness in Every Corner
Cooking is a therapy for me, and when this therapy mixes the sweet smell and beauty of flowers, it really works as magic.
At first, I was confused about what flowers to pick for the kitchen, because I love the smell of herbs and don’t want to ruin them.
So I asked my florist friend, and he suggested I should go with lavender or gardenias. Why these? They give a gentle and calming scent. Just imagine cooking your favorite dish with a calming smell like this.
Bedroom: Relaxing and Serene
A bedroom is supposed to feel like a place that makes you feel relaxed. Flowers are excellent for doing that; all you have to do is pick the right flowers.
My suggestion is to go for jasmine, rose, and lavender as these flowers have stress-releasing properties. So when you come with a heavy day, these flowers can make you relax and help you get a sweet sleep. You place these flowers in a simple vase on a nightstand.
Bathroom: A Touch of Elegance
Believe me or not, I ignored my bathroom for years when it came to decoration. I mean, it just didn’t make sense to me to decorate the bathroom, but I was so wrong.
Why? Because with time, I realized that this place is actually perfect for flowers, as they can make this bathroom look luxurious.
I pick orchids or lilies and load them into small vases and put them on my bathroom sinks. This simple flower decoration just leveled up the game. I don’t have ample lights, but if you have, it will just change the whole vibe.
Now it’s not a part of decoration, but if you want a spa-like feel, use flowers in the bathroom too, like I do.
Hallways and Entryways: Welcoming Guests
Did you ever hear a popular quote by American actor Will Rogers that says, ‘You never get a second chance to make a first impression’? With my personal experience, now I know that hallways and entryways are exactly the places that can make or break a first impression. Here is how flowers can help you in this situation:
Console Tables: To create an inviting look, just place tall vases of flowers in entryways.
Floral Wreaths: Make your guests feel welcome by using wreaths made of fresh flowers.
Conclusion
If you actually celebrate nature, don’t just let flowers be in the garden. Welcome the beauty, smell, and color of flowers to decorate your sweet home.
Just use the suggestion if you are not too good with flower knowledge. For me, flower decoration is a win-win situation because it makes your home look stunning and is not as expensive as other home decorations.
