The weather is finally warming and spring is approaching which means just one thing – plenty of beautiful flowers growing naturally in gardens and open fields.
It’s not only the outside world that can enjoy beautiful blooms though; follow these tips and bring spring into your home with beautiful flowers.
Why add flowers?
Bringing flowers into your home is a great way to celebrate life, vitality and growth while brightening up your home. The kids are sure to love all the colours and scents too and you can always get them to help you arrange vases of flowers or make colourful artwork with pressed flowers.
You can even pick bouquets from florists such as Serenata Flowers with the kids and give them to friends and family as a way to bring even more beauty into homes this spring.
How to add flowers
To add flowers and plants to your home this spring without dominating the space, follow these simple tips:
- Make flowers the centrepiece for tables and surfaces but don’t overcrowd your home with them. Remember less can sometimes be more so always strive for balance within a room
- Stick with what’s in season: daffodils, tulips and roses are all traditional flowers for this time of year and they look great on their own or as part of larger bouquets.
- Don’t just add vases to tables and worktops, looked for potted plants to add extra interest. You can even get flowers planted in watering cans and teacups for something super quirky
- Choose flowers with a strong scent to fill your home with beautiful fragrances that really bring the outdoors in
- Decorate the outside of your home too with hanging baskets or window boxes. If this requires a little too much DIY then adopt a similar principle by placing wicker baskets of flowers on window sills inside your home instead
- Placing petals and single flowers in a bowl of water with floating candles for a romantic look – lilies and other aquatic plants work best with this
- Get creative by drying and pressing flowers to create artwork, ornamental decorations or even scented bags to hang in wardrobes to keep your clothes sweet. Lavender is a great option
