No matter the season, decorating your home with flowers is a great option to make the environment more cozy, charming, and beautiful. Besides beautifying, flowers are also capable of transmitting a feeling of joy to the room where they are used, especially if they have strong and varied colors.
There is no location restriction, they can decorate even the bathroom or kitchen, all that is needed is creativity and the arrangement must be in harmony with the decoration of the rest of the environment. We cannot forget the aroma that they guarantee to the decorated place.
According to personal home decorator Patricia Junqueira, a house with flowers is a house with soul: "Therefore, it is very important that floral arrangements are present in a decoration, as they make all the difference to make the environment even more pleasant", she explains.
How to use flowers in decoration
The options are countless. Nowadays, there are natural flowers of the most varied types and sizes on the market, as well as artificial pieces with such a perfect finish that they can be considered natural in several situations. The artificial models have the advantage of not requiring the care common to natural flowers, such as pruning, exposure to the sun, and watering. Not to mention that their durability does notestimate in relation to a natural flower.
But if you enjoy the contact with nature and have the time to provide the necessary care, cultivating natural flowers can be considered a therapy. Being able to see the different phases, from flowering, the blossoming of the petals, until the end of the cycle is something not to be missed, not to mention that you will always have beautiful and varied natural arrangements.
For Patricia, the most indicated is to choose the arrangement according to the colors and style of the decoration: "If it is a special occasion, like a lunch, for example, you can use country flowers, with stronger colors. For a dinner party, it is worth choosing nobler species, with lighter tones, unless you want to highlight the decoration with the floral arrangements. A dark decoration with flowersYellow gold looks beautiful," she reveals.
It is worth remembering that the flower is a complement to the room's decoration, so it is necessary to observe the predominant colors in the room and ensure that the tones of the arrangement are in agreement. Azaleas, hydrangeas, and daisies go with cooler tones, complementing more neutral environments.
But if you like a bolder decoration, using flowers with strong colors will ensure joy to the room. Marigold, perfect love, begonia, carnation, and varieties of carnations, tulips, and roses are ideal options for rooms with brightly painted walls.
Some flowers, such as jasmine and white lily, have a strong scent and are therefore more suitable for open and ventilated environments, ensuring that their scent spreads throughout the house and does not become uncomfortable. There are some tropical flowers, such as orchids, glass of milk, and bromeliads that, besides being beautiful, are still practical, since they do not need frequent care, and have good durability.
How to make flower arrangements
When choosing flowers for an arrangement, the professional recommends taking into consideration whether the species is easy to handle: "Astromelia, roses, gerbera, and lisianthus flowers fit this category", she points out.
"I always try to mix some foliage in the arrangement, and I like to leave it with a rounded shape, with the flowers at the same height," she adds. Good examples of foliage for ornamental use are Ivone verde, liatris, phoetinia, pittosporum, portuguesa, ruscus, tango, and xanadu.
"As for the vases and flowerpots, the ideal is to choose them according to the decoration: crystal, glass, silver, porcelain or ceramic. These pieces are also part of the decoration and, if you wish, they can stand out. A good example is to use a blue Chinese or Portuguese ceramic vase with yellow flowers. You highlight the vase through the use of flowers", she teaches.
Arrangements with large flowers require larger vases. If you prefer crystal vases, the personal home decor recommends that a finishing touch be done so that the handles of the flowers are not exposed. In this case, you can use moss, vines or water crystals (transparent or colored gelatinous balls that swell when in contact with water).
The following step-by-step indicated by the professional makes it possible to put together a beautiful flower arrangement for your home. If you prefer to use artificial flowers, it is not necessary to add water to the vase. Check it out:
