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.Getting the flowers right (and that means the colours, the types, the container, the foliage etc) will speak volumes about your style!
A florist in Perth, Airport Flowers, said there were some tried and tested ways of doing things, but people shouldn’t be afraid of experimenting with their own style.Let’s look at matching flower arrangements to interior style.
Sophistical, contemporary and modern
Modern living with minimalist décor can work really well with monobotanic arrangements where only one type of flower is used. These look stunning in a sophisticated environment, especially when flowers are placed in identical containers all 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.
It’s worth taking the time thinking about the shape of the arrangement here.Arrangements should be more architectural and structured, with varieties such as orchids, lilies and birds of paradise all working well in this environment.For a striking, low-maintenance statement – pot plants such as cactus varieties and succulents look fabulous.
English country home
A more traditional English home has a romantic, elegant ambience.Established elegance comes from design elements such as floral fabrics, assorted scatter cushions, generations of old antiques and family photographs in silver frames.Flowers such as roses, sweet peas, daffodils, tulips, hydrangeas, shasta daisies and alstromeria all work well in graceful arrangements. Foliage from the garden also adds elegant beauty with a fresh look.
Suitable containers range from crystal vases (even better if they’ve been passed down through generations), silver rose bowls and painted containers.Using a porcelain jug to hold an assortment of mixed roses is also a very pretty romantic look.
The most appropriate colours in this type of decor include all the pinks, white, shades of yellow and of course green. Blue can be used as an accent, but orange and purple flowers should generally be avoided. Don’t be afraid to mix colours – think yellow with pink, lime green and fuschia – as it will enhance the layered country look.
A home by the sea
A relaxed, fresh beach house interior is complemented by more informal, casual arrangements.Go for mixed bunches, daisies, indigenous flowers, sunflowers, lilies or even dried ornamental grasses and use informal containers such as earthenware pots, recycled glass or green wine bottles.Shades of blue, green and white create a calm, soothing atmosphere – perfect for a seaside retreat.
Whether you’re doing your own arrangments or asking a Perth florist for some help, one thing’s for sure – flowers will add that something special to any style.
