Freshening up a home for Spring can be done in multiple ways. Adding and arranging flowers is the simplest way to capture the essence of the season. Beautiful possibilities can be achieved using cut flowers and a little imagination.
Although you can paint walls a fresh lichen green or spray hyacinth-scented room refresher, a practical and beautiful way to express the vibe of spring is with flowers. With the use of cut flowers and some creativity, the ideas are limitless.
The Entry
Create a memorable first impression in an entrance hall or foyer by placing a bouquet in a sparkling crystal pitcher. Add some long, dramatic stems to an umbrella stand. Place three single stems of the same flower in three identical, symmetrical glass vases. Hang a small wreath of fresh flowers on your front door or hang a few stems with a lovely bow.
The Kitchen
Use the counter to line up individual vases, coffee cups, or juice glasses and place a few stunning colorful stems in each. It is a floral arrangement that stands out to be admired while you work in the kitchen.
The Family Room
Place a bucket of fresh cut flowers in an empty space in the family room. Refresh a veranda by arranging a bouquet of flowers on a coffee table.
The Bed and Bath
Begin the day by putting flowers on the nightstand or dresser, making them the first thing you see when you awake from your sleep. Give your bathroom a boost of freshness with a inventive display of flower buds set in a toothbrush tumbler.
The Work Areas
Fresh flowers are the ultimate way to add color and brightness to your time at your desk. In the laundry room, rinse out a bottle, add cut flowers, and put it on a shelf or counter to brighten up the work area.
When searching for containers to arrange flowers, keep in mind that the vase isn't the only choice. Decorative floral arrangements can be enhanced with the use of vintage watering cans, enamelware pitchers, cast-iron kettles, champagne glasses, mason jars, and teapots.
To add a touch of understated elegance to your dining area, fill a wine cooler with fresh white lilies and freesia.
Flowers are no longer exclusive to special occasions. The use of floral decorating encompasses much more than just the center of the dining room table.
