With their many varieties, colors and display methods, flowers truly enhance a room’s décor. Interior designers often consider a room’s style when selecting flowers as a design element. Arrangements of roses, hydrangeas and daisies, add warmth and charm to more traditional décors. Calla lilies, gerberas, orchids and floral grasses add a dramatic, natural touch to more contemporary designs. Even a hardy bunch of wildflowers, such as black-eyed Susans, asters or daylilies, can brighten up a room.
Color plays a major role in floral displays. Complimentary colors add a soothing energy to a room, while contrasting colors add a splash of excitement. Colorful blossoms add a touch of flair to a room with a neutral palette. In addition, creative floral arrangements of a single variety in one or more colors, or an assortment of different varieties in a single color can add consistency and structure to a room’s design.
Displays are created in vases, glass holders, urns or any other containers that compliments a room’s style. Sometimes the most creative containers, like a petite, metal bucket and a porcelain pitcher, are not vases at all. A jar of water concealed inside any container can turn it into an attractive vase. Another important consideration is the proportion of an arrangement to its holder. Large vases are most striking when bursting with tall flowers, while wide, full blooms work best in shorter containers.
Some of the best designs come from experts experimenting with new, interesting arrangements. Creative and thoughtful approaches to design make flowers a popular element in interior décor. With their versatility and variety, flowers can bring a room to life with their natural beauty.
