Real, wild flowers work as dramatic accents in any living space. Choosing the right colours, the flower species, their height, and the mix of foliage in them will complement your decor beautifully. They work particularly work well in a clutter-free environment, where the walls are in pastel hues or painted all white, and the furniture is vintage, not very elaborate but one with clean lines, giving the space a burst of colour wherever required. Experts believe that small, stemless flowers, allowed to float in a basin/bowl of water when kept on the dining table or near the main entrance, bring good Feng Shui.
Arrangement
You can choose a bunch of fresh and exotic longstemmed lilies in hues of lavender, pink, or red from the local market and keep them either on your dining table or side table. Or else, you can decide to make a few paper flowers using craft crepe paper, and stick them onto long brown sticks. Flower arrangements that have a circle of wire or a twist of foliage about them create maximum impact. Ikebana flower arrangements help to enhance your spaces. Abstain from keeping artificial or plastic flowers indoors as these are dead giveaways and can get monotonous after a while. Even a small motley bunch of wild flowers from your garden can give a room a facelift when it needs one. These create an accent much better than any piece of furniture, and can give your spaces an instant makeover.
Flowers as accessories
Flower motifs are classic symbols of elegance, beauty, and style. You find floralprinted table cloths, bed linen, floral accessories such as glass table cloth holders, napkin holders made of either paper, felt, or glass flowers tied in wire, flowers embedded in aromatic candles, beaded flowers in a vase and various home decor knickknacks, and they all look pretty. Floral-embossed tableware is in vogue these days. Traditional flowers such as the lotus, chrysanthemums, frangipani, marigold, or the rose are the muse of many designers today. When infused in natural earth tones or in tones of gold, silver, or copper, these flowers look splendid.
Floral art
Modern contemporary artwork often depicts flower prints. These are usually magnified images of wild poppies, tulips, lotus, bird of paradise, wild lilies, roses, bougainvillea, petunias, or any other flower icon. Natureinspired leaves and twigs are also popular, and these are displayed in various interiors such as hotel rooms, homes, and restaurants. Botanical flower and plant drawings and etchings are other favourite images that are framed and hung in many homes. Graphic, abstract floral prints depict modernity and would be welcome in any modern setting.
Floral prints on textile
Flowers on textile are classic reproductions and have a timeless appeal. They can be used for upholstery, drapes, floor rugs, carpets, cushion covers, and even on saris and kurtas. Heavily-embroidered or block-printed flowers are part of almost every accessory from shoes, bags to coasters, scarves, and shawls. Large floral prints are preferred nowadays as opposed to earlier years where it used to be small prints for almost everything. Flowers are a perfect during hot summer days and add cheer to any space.
Flower motifs
You can create your own flower icons on home accessories if you like, instantly, and without spending through your nose. You can dress up existing table lamps and pendant lights with a string of ferry light flowers or you can make crepe flowers in any colour that you like. You can even hand-paint flowers on a table cloth, or hang up flower posters in your room. Only thing to remember when you bring floral design indoors is that you don't overdo it. Try and mix it with solid or pastel hues, and try and use one or two icons in a large size rather than clutter your space with too many small floral designs. Try it in small doses before you bring it into every room.
