How to Choose Flowers that Match your Decor

Bringing life into a home is not a difficult task. Live flowers and plants can make a space warm, inviting and full of life throughout the year. The problem that many individuals face is matching the colors and styles of different flowers to the room or décor in a house. Although it might seem difficult, selecting flowers that match the décor of a home or room is easier than it might seem.

Consider the Colors
Choosing flower that match the décor of a room starts with finding the right colors. Looking around the room for inspiration is a simple way to create a bouquet that will suit the space. When looking around the space, note the dominant color and the colors that help highlight certain areas within the space.

Flowers can match the dominant color or the colors that add definition, texture and interest to the room. Avoid flower colors that clash with the base color within the space and opt for options that will improve on the décor. For example, if the main color in a room is red, the best colors for flowers include purples and blues, which create a balance of color. Red flowers would blend into the space and pink flowers might clash, depending on the specific shade of red and pink.

Look at Styles
Matching the décor is not only about the color combinations. Any color of flower can match a room, particularly if the dominant colors are earth tones or neutral shades. Matching the style can seem more challenging, but it is actually easy with a simple rule in mind.

Consider the specific style of the space. Styles might range from modern and contemporary to classic and elegant. The problem is that the best flowers for the space can vary slightly based on that style choice.

Modern styles look best with flowers that have clean and simple lines. For example, lilies are a clean and simple flower that looks amazing in the modern space. Classic and traditional styles look best with flowers that have petals. Roses in particular look amazing in an elegant and traditional space. Eclectic styles can match any flower to the space due to the variation of design throughout the room.

Keep the Bouquet Simple
A simple bouquet will always match décor styles because it can look amazing in a modern or traditional space. Simplicity can vary based on the selected flower or flowers, but it can include monochromatic color schemes or using the same flowers with small definition to create a simple beauty.

A simple bouquet is easy to incorporate into a space because it will limit the possibility of clashing colors and will create a feeling of life within the room. When the design is simplistic, it creates a feeling of serenity and warmth in a room.

Selecting flowers that match the decorations within a room is not difficult. By selecting colors that match or stand out from the base color, it is possible to make any flower work within a home. When purchasing your flowers, make sure to choose local flowers. Locally grown flowers last longer, and are not sprayed with chemicals like their imported counterparts. Interflora is an Australian company that grow their own flowers, and have a huge range of flowers and arrangements available.

Receiving A Beautiful Gift Of Flowers

This year my birthday fell on a weekday! I was disappointed because it is so hard to wait for the weekend for a celebration! I was at home on March 19th with my kids, as usual, while my husband was at work. The day was pretty much just like any other, playing, eating lunch and having fun until the doorbell rang. Who could it possibly be? As I opened the door, I saw what was being delivered and a smile immediately spread across my face. Flowers! My husband had ordered Flowers from Interflora! This was such a nice surprise and something I never would have expected. Plus, they were freshly cut and absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't wait to display them out on our dining room table for everyone to admire!

There is just something about a gift of flowers for a special occasion that just spreads joy like no other gifts can. Not to mention, flowers can completely brighten up any room in the house. Our dining room looks so much brighter and I feel like summer really is here! I smile every time I catch sight of the flowers. Only a few days later, our extended family came over to celebrate my birthday and the flowers were still beautiful, lively and colorful. What flowers did I receive? Tulips are my absolute favorite, so I was sent a bouquet of different color tulips.

This month just happened to not only be my Mom's birthday, but also Mother's Day. After receiving such a beautiful bouquet from my husband, I was inspired to arrange flower delivery with Interflora. My Mom's favorite flowers are daisies, so I found a huge bouquet of Gerber daisies that I knew she would absolutely love. As soon as they arrived at her doorstep, she called to thank me and was actually crying. She couldn't believe how lovely they were and was so excited to receive them.

Now I know that flowers really do make perfect gifts, so I plan on sending many bouquets in the near future. It seems like over the next few months many of my friends and relatives are celebrating special occasions and, being summertime, I am very busy with my two boys, their activities and our vacations. After receiving my own flowers and my mom loving her own flowers, I've decided to go ahead and schedule flower delivery for my mother-in-law and cousin, too! It's so easy to do and actually fun deciding on bouquets for them.

Beautify Your Home With Lasting Flowers

I'm constantly trying to upgrade the look of my home by adding new decorations. I'm very picky about what I put in our home, but I really love flowers and think they really brighten a room. My favorites are Calla Lillies, Birds Of Paradise, and Gerber Daisies. Yes, these can be very expensive, especially for flowers that will die soon after purchasing. It's so sad to spend $50 on a nice arrangement only for them to wilt the next day. I've found a way to keep flowers looking beautiful for a much longer period of time. How? By using faux flowers, of course!

Artificial plants, as well as artificial flowers, are the perfect way to decorate a home. You don't have to worry about them wilting or turning brown anymore. Plus, they are so incredibly lifelike, no one will be able to tell the difference. It's really amazing!

There's no reason to spend hundreds of dollars each year on flowers and plants that will inevitably be thrown away. Purchase faux plants and flowers that last forever, save money, and easily brighten your home and life.
