Fresh flowers are not only a fabulous gift to make those special occasions even more memorable. You can also order flowers for your own home. When ordering flowers for yourself, you can take some extra time to decide which bouquet will work best. Here are some tips to help you find the perfect bouquet to suit your interior d\u00e9cor.

<\/p>\n

Colours<\/span><\/h3>\n

Choosing the right colour or colours is essential for any flower arrangement. Consider the colour scheme of the room where you plan on displaying the bouquet. There is usually at least one dominant colour as well as one or more other colours and accents. If your room is mostly blue or purple with some white here and there, you might like to order a fresh bouquet of yellow flowers. Yes, the bouquet can have touches of white and even some blue or purple but the main colour should be yellow if you want it to really stand out.

For something a little more understated, you could opt for pastels if the room d\u00e9cor is more on the country or traditional side. For example, if your living room furniture and accessories are covered with floral patterns, then you can easily opt for a mixed bouquet that includes several flowers in pastel colours.

For a modern setting, bolder colours are often preferred because of the patterns and basic colours used to create that modern effect. Not only do you want to keep the arrangement simple with only one or a few types of flowers, but you also want to make sure that it grabs your attention as soon as you enter the room. If your room is mostly black and white, then a bouquet of red roses will look lovely. A brightly coloured orchid plant can also help maintain that modern style with added elegance.

<\/p>\n

Size<\/span><\/h3>\n

The size of the flower arrangement will depend on the room. The smaller the room, the smaller the bouquet should be. Similarly, you need to consider where the flowers will be displayed. If you are placing them on a coffee table in the middle of your living room, then you don’t want them to take up the entire table.

Size is not just about how many flowers you order but also the shape of the bouquet and how it relates to its surroundings. If you place a tall arrangement on a coffee table that is less than 60cm in height, for instance, it will look rather out of place and top heavy. Instead, you can opt for a fishbowl-style vase or something of a similar size.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flowers<\/span><\/h3>\n

The types of flowers you choose are essential. Remember, some flowers have more texture than others. Take a rose and a carnation for example. The latter has significantly more texture and is often used to create soft and gentle-looking bouquets. Arrangements that contain bamboo and orchids are lovely for modern settings while textured blooms like carnations, daisies and hydrangeas suit traditional d\u00e9cor very well. <\/p>\n

That said, you can still create an extremely versatile look if you opt for bud flower arrangements. These are arrangements that contain a single stem. One example is to select three gerbera daisies in three different colours and place them in individual vases. Line these vases up along your dinner table or another suitable location like your mantelpiece and you have a simple yet sophisticated look.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vase<\/span><\/h3>\n

Vases have been briefly mentioned in the points above but it goes beyond shape and size. Colour and design are also important. In a modern setting, a vase with a Victorian-style pattern will look very much out of place. However, if there are other similar decorative objects in the room and the colour scheme is similar to that of the time, this vase will look perfect.

For a more contemporary design, vases should be fairly simple. A single colour helps ensure such simplicity. Popular colour choices include black, white, silver and even dark green. If you are ever in doubt, there is one type of vase that is the most versatile of all \u2013 the clear glass vase. The absence of colour and any patterns make this vase a timeless beauty and suited for all flowers as well as all settings. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seasonal Themes<\/span><\/h3>\n

The last thing to consider is that there are always exceptions to the rules. For example, during certain times of the year, it is both fun and refreshing to decorate our homes in a very specific way. Christmas flower arrangements usually include red, white and dark green elements while Halloween flower d\u00e9cor can include orange flowers with black accessories. In this case, provided you add other seasonal d\u00e9cor to the room, these floral displays should suit just about any setting.

The best part about shopping for flowers for yourself is that you know exactly what you like and what you don’t like. Your preferences, along with the advice above, will help steer you in the right direction. Plus, if you are ever in doubt, you can always depend on your friendly florist to offer their expert advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":28,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised"],"yoast_head":"\nGuide to matching your flowers with your interior -
