DECORATING WITH FLOWERS
From contemporary sleek to Romantic English elegance, casual beachside and urban sophistication to shabby chic charm, flowers are the perfect accessory to enhance any style of interior.
Flower power can be the ‘wow’ factor in your home, but it’s always important to harmonise the style of interior with the botanicals.Just as you’ve chosen all the elements of your interior style carefully, so too should you choose all the elements of your floral design carefully (variety, shape, colour, container)!
Some great ideas for synchronizing various styles of interiors with flowers came from Perth florist, Airport Flowers, who said while there were successful formulae, people shouldn’t be frightened of experimenting to create their own, individual style.Here are some ideas on how to match interior design with floral arrangements.
Contemporary, urban sophistication
Monobotanic arrangements (where only one type of flower is used) look fantastic with modern, minimalistic decor.These look particularly good when placed in identical containers – usually symmetrically or in a row.You can also put single stems in identical vases which also looks fabulous, and good varieties for this format include orchids, roses, gerbera daisies and tulips.
Shape is important. Modern homes are complemented by more architectural and asymmetrical arrangements using varieties such as birds of paradise, lilies and orchids.For a striking, low-maintenance statement – pot plants such as cactus varieties and succulents look fabulous.
English country
A traditional English style home evokes a sense of comfort and romance of yesteryear.Established elegance comes from design elements such as floral fabrics, assorted scatter cushions, generations of old antiques and family photographs in silver frames. In this environment, graceful arrangements are best – such as open roses, gardenias, tulips, hydrangeas, sweet peas, daffodils, freesias and alstromeria.Using green foliage will enhance the fresh, romantic look.
Some good containers for this type of interior are silver bowls or jugs, glass and cut crystal vases and painted vases.A porcelain jug, or even an old patterned teapot with an informal mixed bunch of garden roses looks wonderfully romantic in this environment.
All the pink tones work well in this theme, as do white flowers, green and shades of yellow.Orange flowers are a bit overpowering in this romantic environment, but shades of blue (delphiniums, statice, sage) can work really well. Have fun with colour – mix yellow and pink, mix lime green with fuschia pink.
Beach house
The languid, fresh, tranquil beach house interior works well with very informal arrangements.A mixed bunch of local indigenous varieties always looks great in a rustic container, or go for fresh relaxed flowers like daisies and lilies in recycled glassware, brightly coloured plastic pots or even old wine bottles. Soothing colours such as green and blue can also create a soothing, tranquil atmosphere.
Whether you’re experimenting on your own or getting some help from a Perth florist, fresh flowers are the perfect accessory for any style of interior.
