Decor Trend: The Return of Artificial Flowers

Choosing the right artificial flowers

The main criterion to consider when selecting artificial flowers is the material they are made of. This influences the price, durability, and, most importantly, the realism of the flowers. Once considered kitsch, some artificial flowers are now very realistic.

For an authentic look, opt for latex flowers, available at Designix. Latex, used for the petals, offers flexibility and a soft texture. Polyurethane is also used for this purpose.

Some artificial plants have a wire-cored stem, allowing you to shape them to your liking. There are also scented flowers on the market, although their fragrance does not always match that of natural flowers. For a natural and long-lasting scent in your home, consider an essential oil diffuser.

 

Nice vase & decorative accessories

In decoration, details always matter.

First, choose a container: a classic vase or why not a bud vase for a minimalist touch. For a touch of originality, you can even repurpose an object, such as a watering can, a wicker basket, or even a birdcage, to serve as a vase.

For a romantic atmosphere, choose a white, light, or transparent container. If you prefer a more traditional ambiance, opt for a grey metal pot, a wicker basket, or a vase decorated with floral patterns.

To add a touch of whimsy, play with colors. Dare to contrast the color of the container with that of the flowers.

Next, think about small accessories to embellish your arrangement and turn your bouquet into a true decorative object: candles, ribbons, pearls, wicker balls, decorative subjects to insert into the bouquet like butterflies or ladybugs, candy, feathers, pebbles, small mirrors, glitter, etc.

If you are planning an arrangement for the garden, also consider garden gnomes, decorative animals, and solar lights to illuminate your flowers at night.

 

Decorating with artificial plants

Artificial plants are an excellent option for beautifying your interior or garden, even if you don't have a green thumb!

They can be used in various ways: as a centerpiece to add cheer to meals, on a windowsill or mantelpiece, in the bathroom to create a Zen ambiance, or in the bedroom for a touch of softness.

Adapt your arrangements according to the room you are decorating, the decor style of your home, the season, and your personal preferences. Here are some decorating tips and magnificent floral arrangements to inspire you.

 

Bring your bouquet to life

To keep your decor vibrant throughout the year and impress your guests, consider enhancing it according to the seasons or events.

In the spring, add small elements to your bouquet like wooden ladybugs, butterflies, colorful Easter eggs, or felt chicks.

For the holidays, brighten up your artificial bouquets with glittery Christmas ornaments, shimmering garlands, or LED light branches.

Also, don't forget to use flowers to express messages on special occasions such as Valentine's Day or birthdays. You can use tabletop word letters or hanging decorations.
