Decorating a home with artificial flowers can be a wonderful way to add beauty and charm without the maintenance requirements of real flowers. Whether you're decorating your home, office, or bedroom, they can be arranged into bouquets, centerpieces, wreaths and more.
Their versatility, low care and year round availability allow for creative expression and customization in the home. Mixing and matching high quality flowers and arranging in an appropriate vase or container can bring a touch of nature and a beautiful aesthetic to your surroundings without the upkeep required by real plants.
Discover benefits, styling ideas and tips to make the most of artificial flowers in your home below.
How to Choose Artificial Flowers?
When choosing artificial flowers in your home, quality durable fabrics including silk, polyester and high-grade plastics make all the difference. Investing in these materials allow your arrangements to look the most natural, mimicking the appearance of real flowers. They often have intricate details, realistic colors, and textures that make them look lifelike. They also keep their color and shape the longest, compared to cheaper alternatives. With a little bit of care, these arrangements can last for years and prove to be more cost effective.
Keep in mind the importance of choosing the right tones and themes for seasonal flowers. Using bright and cheerful colors and variations in spring and summer arrangements and warm and cozy colors in fall can bring the elements of the season directly into your home. Creating festive arrangements during winter holidays by incorporating poinsettias, holly, and berries can be used to decorate wreaths and garlands at Christmas. Mixing flowers and greenery add depth and texture while providing endless opportunities for design and creativity.
Home Decorating Ideas with Artificial Flowers for Each Room
Living Room Elegance
Selecting artificial flowers that complement the color palette and scheme of your living room is important when decorating. Whether you prefer elaborate bouquets with vibrant hues that stand out or a minimalist look with subtle tones that blend in with your existing decor, choose flowers that harmonize with the room's overall theme.
Mixing different sizes and colors while selecting seasonally appropriate flowers and complimenting vases can enhance your room’s aesthetic. Swap out your artificial flower arrangements throughout the year to reflect the seasons or holidays. Choosing classic ceramic vases, modern glass containers, or rustic baskets can anchor your artificial flowers into your living space.
Consider where natural flowers would thrive in your home and be placed like the coffee or end table and choose the same for the artificial arrangement. Add balance and symmetry with smaller arrangements to shelves or mantles to compliment the larger centerpieces on the tables. With a little bit of care like dusting them off regularly with a soft cloth or a gentle dusting brush, your artificial arrangements can look like new year after year.
Brighten Your Kitchen
Decorating your kitchen with artificial flowers adds freshness and personality that creates a space that is both inviting and comfortable. Consider flowers that are typically found in kitchen settings, such as herbs like lavender or rosemary, or bright blooms like sunflowers or daisies. Staying on trend with your kitchen’s color and decor while incorporating some of these flowers will make for a beautiful, natural-looking arrangement. If you love the scent of real flowers and herbs, adding scented candles and diffusers can create a multisensory experience and ambiance.
To reflect special holidays and seasonal changes, updating your artificial flower arrangements can keep your kitchen looking fresh.
When choosing a place for artificial flower arrangements in the kitchen, opt for functional areas including the center of the dining table, kitchen island, or countertop.
Hanging the flowers from the ceiling or on the walls using hooks or racks is an alternative if counter space is limited. Avoid placing them too close to cooking surfaces where they could be exposed to heat or moisture. Keeping artificial flowers clean and dry will keep them looking new and preserve them season after season.
Bedroom Bliss
Adding artificial flower arrangements to your bedroom can create a serene and tranquil space perfect for unwinding. To promote relaxation, choosing calming colors like soft pastels will evoke just that. If you want to add an element of freshness, include clean whites and greenery. Complimenting your arrangements with essential oils and candles nearby can add a touch of fragrance to make your blooms come to life.
To pick the perfect placement of your arrangement, think about focal points of your room. Dressers and nightstands are great options for a large arrangement while window sills and wall mounts create balance for complimenting touches. You can personalize your arrangements to your individual style by choosing minimalist or rustic containers to glass vases and ceramic pots. Whether your bedroom is traditional, bohemian or modern, you can arrange flowers to match your room’s theme and aesthetic beautifully.
Stylish Front Door Decor
Adding artificial flowers to your front door decor can create a welcoming entrance into your home. Wreaths and arrangements with high quality flowers will enhance your home’s curb appeal. Choosing weather resistant flowers designed for outdoor use is important when picking an arrangement. Materials that are UV resistant and can withstand exposure to sunlight, rain, wind and varying temperatures are ideal. Also, securing your arrangement with a sturdy attachment is important to keep it in place.
Keep with your home’s color scheme and architecture by choosing an arrangement that compliments it. You can personalize your flowers to contemporary, rustic, classic or modern style aesthetics. To stay on trend, swap out your arrangements during the changing of the seasons or holidays that you celebrate. Incorporating lights during the winter holidays is a nice way to add some festive cheer. As a reminder, continue to check your flowers and greenery for wear, tear and discoloration and switch for new blooms to keep a polished look in your stylish entrance.
