Floral Placement: How to use Flowers in Home Styling for Stunning Results
No matter the size, shape, or style of your home - the presence of flowers can instantly elevate any space. Flowers have an amazing ability to create a sense of elegance and connection to nature that is so, well - natural to us. From captivating centerpieces to charming decorative accents and unforgettable home entertaining, flowers can bring a fresh and enchanting touch to any space. As an interior designer surrounded by the nature and beauty of Marin County, California, I am always inspired to find a way to capture the beauty of the outdoors and bring them indoors.
During each design process, I always try to find a way to incorporate flowers and foliage into projects. While each project is unique and calls for its own styling, here are 3 ways to use flowers strategically to elevate your home styling to new heights.
1. Create Eye- Catching Center Pieces
Enhance your dining table, coffee table, or console with stunning floral centerpieces. These captivating arrangements serve as focal points, infusing color, and elegance. Opt for a mix of blooms in varying heights and textures to achieve a balanced and visually appealing composition. From large bouquets of roses and amaranthus to charming clusters of wildflowers, these centerpieces will draw the eye toward the center of the room giving the viewer a balanced perspective of the space.
Example: Explore a unique modern living room where a round brass vase filled with white fluffy roses or lilies create a visually striking centerpiece, complementing the clean lines of the space and creating a contrast between the flowers and their vessel.
2. Elevate Decorative Accents
Add a touch of nature to various areas of your home with flowers used as decorative accents. Whether it's a small arrangement on a side table, a single stem in a bud vase, or fresh herbs in the kitchen, these accents instantly breathe life into any space. Be creative by placing flowers in unexpected spots like bathroom countertops, nightstands or window sills for pleasant surprises.
Example: Transform a cozy reading nook with a single stemmed lily. Infuse a calming and aromatic touch that enhances the serene atmosphere and offers a sensory experience while indulging in a good book.
3. Unforgettable Home Entertaining
Impress your guests with carefully curated floral displays during gatherings. Flowers play a vital role in setting the mood and creating a welcoming ambiance. From intimate dinner parties to lively brunches, incorporating flowers into the dining table, buffet spread, or bar area adds visual appeal and warmth. Embrace unique vessels like ceramic vases, unique drinking glasses, or even hollowed-out fruits for creative floral arrangements that spark joy.
Example: Host a delightful outdoor garden party adorned with a mix of vibrant seasonal flowers displayed in mismatched terracotta pots or woven baskets. This eclectic arrangement brings rustic charm, seamlessly blending with the natural surroundings.
