When it comes to home décor, the secret often lies in the finishing touches. Those special and unique elements that can add a sense of completion to a room or space. Often, adding “living” or “green” elements such as trees and plants can help to invigorate a room. But what if the associated maintenance isn’t feasible? This is when artificial greenery can be used as an aesthetically pleasing alternative.
- Pay attention to color. A richness of color is very important when it comes to artificial flowers, as you will want to have selections that won’t fade or loose significant color.
- Avoid dried or silk flowers if looking to create a modern space. Dried flowers tend to work best in traditional or formal spaces.
- Consider texture when looking for artificial flowers and stems.
- Use artificial arrangements that are the appropriate size, height and scale.
- Place artificial arrangements in areas where you would place live arrangements such as side tables, consoles and dining and coffee tables.
- Avoid placing artificial arrangements in direct sunlight.
- Maintain artificial arrangements by cleaning and dusting their stems and leaves.
- Look for trees with large leaves as opposed to small leaves in large spaces as well as spaces with tall ceilings. Small plants and plantings work well in smaller areas and spaces.
- Consider non floral artificial elements such as palms, berries and other non florals.
- Bathrooms, entry consoles, and small side tables are great locations for smaller artificial arrangements. While larger arrangements work well on larger surfaces such as dining and coffee tables.
