I'm sure you have watched a HGTV show once in your life. Have you ever noticed at the end, right before the big reveal, the designer is running around buying fresh flowers for the space? Or maybe during the big reveal you notice the place is full of fresh blooms? This is a big thing in the design world.
Who doesn't love getting flowers? Especially with their new designed space. Flowers are a great way to add scent and colour to any room. They can fill the space with life, after all no one wants to live in a dead space.
Flowers can become rather expensive, if your trying to fill a house every week with fresh scents. Something I thought that could be an inexpensive way of getting blooms weekly (and something I will do for my 'future home') is to grow some yourself. Gardening can be a simple hobby and if you don't have a green thumb you can plant some perennials and they will just keep blooming year after year. Growing your own garden is going to save you money, help the planet, and help creatures pollinate. Win, win, win!
Another way to provide colour to your space is artificial flowers. Now, these are sold at the dollar stores and although they aren't terrible, there are nicer options. Silk flowers will last forever, even though they will cost a little more in the start. You can buy them as loose stem or already in arrangements usually accompanied by a vase. Fake flowers will not need to be watered, but they will need to be dusted, and sometimes, little insects make their way down into the vase because they mistake these for the real deal. So just beware come cleaning time.
Whatever way you decide to go, remember, this is a great one time special occasion design tip or and all year around way to bring life, colour and scent to your space!
Come back soon, and I'll share some more ways to bring life to your space.
