How to decorate your home interior with artificial flowers

Every person strives to surround himself with beautiful things. Stylish paintings and non-trivial interior items will enliven any living room. But the real decoration of the apartment will be the flowers. They will create a cozy and warm atmosphere and help skillfully place accents. But what should you choose: choose living flora or buy artificial flowers?

A chic bouquet will radically transform the interior of a room.

Benefits of artificial flowers

Fresh cuttings quickly wither, and plants in pots require constant watering. If you are a fairly busy person, artificial compositions are just for you.

Low-maintenance beauty

Flora made from materials such as paper, latex and fabric has many advantages:

• does not fade or deteriorate;
• It does not require special care;
• has a budget price;
• safe for people with allergies;
• differs in durability.

Modern artificial analogues are in no way inferior in appearance to living plants.

Just a few years ago, artificial flowers for home interiors were perceived as something clumsy and ugly. Suffice it to recall Soviet roses on plastic branches and “ampeloid” lilies and pelargoniums in dark colors. Today, floristry has reached a new level and the modern market offers consumers stunningly beautiful bouquets and artificial plants made of fabric, plastic and latex.

Types of decorative compositions from artificial flowers

Decorative artificial flowers and plants, which are beautiful in themselves, will look especially attractive in the form of specially selected compositions. By thinking through the best ways to combine colors and textures, you can get an original decoration that fits harmoniously into any interior. The most common types of flower arrangements at present are:

• Bouquets of artificial flowers. They are flowers collected in accordance with the rules of floristry, differing in color and shape. The bouquet can be used as a decorative element permanently or in preparation for a special event. To decorate your home with a beautiful bouquet of artificial flowers, you don’t have to turn to a highly paid florist. Making such a bouquet yourself does not require any special skills. To create it with your own hands, just stock up on wire cutters for cutting wire, as well as special floral wire and foam that secures the flowers. Next, it remains to decide on the flowers that will be placed in the center and along the edges of the composition, and select decorative elements to decorate the resulting bouquet.
• Plants in pots. Making a pot with a unique flower arrangement yourself is also not difficult. First of all, you need to prepare a base for attaching the stems of artificial flowers inside the pot. The material for the base can be polystyrene foam, foam rubber or floral sponge. It is convenient to attach thick stems to a cardboard or plastic circle with cut holes. Having placed the selected flowers in the pot, you can add artificial green branches to the bouquet, which will enhance the natural effect. Imitating indoor flowers, such artificial plants are practically no different in appearance from real ones. Beautiful pots will not require the time and attention of their owners and will create a feeling of comfort and coziness in the home.
• Hanging basket with flowers. In addition to its decorative function, such a basket can play the role of a candlestick or lamp. From a design point of view, it is undesirable to use hanging baskets in small spaces. Flower bouquets in a basket look best on empty walls, filling space and decorating them. A hanging basket can hold both a classic flower bouquet and a more modern arrangement. A simpler, but no less interesting option is to use an artificial climbing plant, such as ivy, in the basket. It will fit perfectly into the interior of any room in the house.
• Pots with flowers. Floor-mounted wide vases are most often used in spacious rooms and halls, trade and exhibition pavilions. Stable vessels on the floor provide an ideal opportunity to create an indoor or conservatory garden.
• Figures from flowers. Usually these are figures of animals or fairy-tale characters, which can serve as an unusual and very original gift for your loved ones.
• Compositions for the garden. The best option for decorating a garden would be a combination of natural and artificial plants and trees. As a decorative element, you can use low fences and arches entwined with hanging vines. An artificial pond will look beautiful and unusual with artificial water lilies floating on its surface.

Basics of phytodesign

It won’t be difficult to decorate your living space beautifully if you use the basic principles of phytodesign:

• it’s great if artificial flowers are in harmony with the color of the walls, curtains or furniture;
• compositions look especially elegant and relaxed in bright rooms; flowers with wide leaves of a bright green hue are suitable for a dark apartment;
• It is better to place large flora separately, thereby focusing on certain areas of the apartment;
• small artificial irises, daisies, gypsophila, angelonias and begonias look impressive in group compositions;
• with the help of tall floral compositions standing on the floor, you can visually “raise” the ceiling;
• spreading palm trees and ficuses with wide leaves will visually expand the space.

You can create a variety of compositions from artificial flowers.

Important. When decorating your apartment with flora, remember the rule of the golden mean. If the living space is of modest size, do not overload it with plants. It will look ridiculous and tasteless.

A well-chosen composition will be an original element of room decor

Recently, green flowers in glass and chrome pots have been gaining popularity. They are suitable for houses decorated in loft, hi-tech, pin-up and pop art, steampunk, modern, military, avant-garde, and eclectic styles.

Synthetic plants perfectly complement the high-tech interior

For a Japanese-style room, designers recommend choosing flora on dried stems. Sakura branches in tall floor vases and ikebana will fit into the overall atmosphere. Provence and country are characterized by tenderness, lightness and airiness. Give preference to compositions in pastel shades made from miniature wildflowers.

Fans of the Mediterranean style in the interior will appreciate bright sunflowers, spreading palm trees and climbing flowers in rich colors. Connoisseurs of rustic, empire, neoclassical, postmodern and vintage will be delighted with lilies and calla lilies in rounded vases, chic aristocratic roses in cream and white shades. Artificial flowers in the interior will refresh any room and help create accents.

Interior design and architecture

Fresh flowers as a gift always make each of us happy. They are beautiful in themselves, and if they are collected in a beautiful bouquet, then the impression of such a composition increases many times over.

Floral arrangements made from fresh flowers are an indispensable part of interior decor in various styles. They help emphasize the characteristic details of the style, and also give the room an atmosphere of naturalness, closeness to nature and home comfort.

Harmonious combination of flowers in a bouquet

Fashionable bouquets can look different, sometimes even quite unusual. However, it is very important that the composition made from fresh flowers complies with the principles of harmony and most fully conveys human emotions.

In floristry, as in all other areas of interior design, there are also certain trends and fashion trends that are most relevant for 2021 - 2021. Bouquets can be either luxurious or extremely simple and modest, but at the same time very original. Let's look at today's popular methods of forming bouquets and combining colors in them.

Fashionable bouquets 2021 - 2021

• Plain bouquets - collected from flowers of the same shade and, preferably, of the same variety. Most often these are roses of pastel colors, collected in a delicate, elegant bouquet.

• Flowers in two shades - a beautiful and incredibly sophisticated bouquet can be decorated using a combination of flowers in two pastel colors. For example, pink with white or cream with white flowers.

A combination of flowers of two delicate shades

• The combination of bright and delicate flowers in one bouquet looks incredibly impressive and unusual. To create such bouquets, anemones of white and pink tones, as well as peony roses, are most often used.
• Wildflowers with garden flowers - this unusual combination looks very attractive and is popular this season.
• Carelessness and dishevelment - florists deliberately give the bouquet the character of some carelessness, thereby emphasizing the natural beauty and naturalness of each flower.
• Flowers in a round box are the most fashionable floristry trend of 2021 - 2021. Such bouquets are usually made up of flowers with short stems. But thanks to the large amount of greenery and flowers of various shades, the bouquet looks lush and luxurious.

Flowers in a round box

• Large flower in the center - one huge flower is located in the middle of the composition, and around it, small buds, sprigs of greenery, silk and satin ribbons or other decorative elements are placed in a picture disorder.

• Flowers in a basket - this classic option for bouquets is back in fashion. However, this season the baskets are very small in size, and the flower arrangements themselves are miniature. But this detail only gives the bouquet the character of exquisite charm.

• Flowers in paper - in the process of forming a bouquet, the main emphasis is on the beauty of the flowers in the composition, and not on the packaging. Therefore, simple opaque wrapping paper, which can be of different shades, is sufficient.

Bouquets in the interior

The same fashion trends apply to interior floristry. A bouquet wrapped in paper can be placed in a small clear glass vase or a simple glass jar. In this case, the vessel will be almost invisible.

An unexpected detail of interior decor will be a unique vase made from small wood cuts, made by yourself. However, water cannot be poured into such a vase, so a hidden vessel is placed inside it.

Interior designers will fully agree with the statement that a luxurious bouquet will look great on every piece of furniture and will harmoniously fit into almost any style of room decoration.

However, it is important to take into account the size of the surrounding environment. The shorter the stems of the flowers and bouquet, the higher they can be placed relative to the floor surface.

In large rooms, large bouquets of bright flowers or floor vases with flowers on long stems will look good.

Luxurious composition of flowers and fruits

But small, modest bouquets will be unnoticeable in a large hall. They will simply get lost against the background of their surroundings.

A voluminous small bouquet of round shape is best placed in the center of the table in the living room or dining room. It is advisable to place a composition of climbing plants and flowers on the edge of a tall chest of drawers or bookshelf.

Small bouquets in a basket look great on your desktop. In such compositions it is better to use delicate flowers in pastel shades.

In the living room, with the help of bouquets you can emphasize the central part of the room or highlight various functional areas.

In a large bedroom you should not place several compositions. One small bouquet of lavender will be enough, the aroma of which has a calming effect.

The best decoration for the kitchen interior will be modest bouquets of simple, preferably wildflowers. They can be placed in niches or on small shelves. Original baskets with flowers are perfect.

Choosing a vase

To create a harmonious design for each room, it is important not only to correctly compose a beautiful bouquet, but also to choose a suitable vase for it. There are several rules that allow you to choose the best options for vessels for flower arrangements:

• Large and bright roses on tall stems are best placed in a tall vase of an original design.
• For lush bouquets of lilac or jasmine, spacious jugs with a wide neck are suitable.
• Crystal vases are ideal for bouquets of lush peonies, as well as small arrangements of roses.

• Small bouquets of wildflowers look great in neat ceramic vases.
• Bright and colorful bouquets of large flowers will look best in transparent glass vessels. The simpler the vase, the more luxurious the flower arrangement should be.

Large compositions of bright, expressive flowers look great in clear glass vases.

• Unexpected compositions can be made from bright autumn leaves, rowan clusters and other natural gifts. Such bouquets can be called seasonal, but they perfectly emphasize the atmosphere of comfort in the room.

To create a unique flower arrangement or a beautiful bouquet you do not need huge expenses or any special knowledge. The main thing is the ability to convey the mood and bring an atmosphere of home comfort. The simplest garden or wildflowers, as well as your imagination, will help you with this.

Which floral composition to choose?

Biedermeier is an excellent option, suitable for almost any interior. The bouquet has a spherical shape and consists of small or large inflorescences. To make artificial plants look stylish and impressive in the interior, use several compositions of contrasting shades. These can be scarlet and white roses.

Flowers in pots are not inferior in external characteristics to living flora and have a lot of positive aspects. Their flowering period will never end; they do not require watering. Such room decorations are a real boon for people who have a small child or a restless animal. The pot will not break, soil will not spill out of it and the plant will not die.

The classic bouquet is no less popular. The only subtlety is to choose the right vase for the composition. The container should be medium in size and highlight the shade of the flora. In most cases, people prefer neutral colors of vases: white, milky, beige.

Flora in tall glass vases will appeal to fans of artificial flowers in the interior. Choose compositions with long stems. These can be roses, callas, irises, eustomas, alstroemerias. To “revive” the composition, pour water into the vase. This way the flowers will look like real ones.

Everything ingenious is simple

When making compositions, you don’t need to try to fit all the plants you like in one bouquet; crafts that are too colorful will not create the desired effect. It would be preferable to put several different mono-bouquets in vases of different heights from the same collection. Such an installation will be clear and look more professional than a complex composition assembled by the inept hands of an amateur florist.

To significantly transform your home, it is not necessary to create complex compositions; it is enough to find the most advantageous place in the interior for one vase with high-quality artificial flowers.

It is necessary to plan the decor so that everything in the interior of the apartment looks appropriate. If the design of the room being decorated is simple and uncommon, the floral design should be appropriate and not create disharmony. Conversely, it would be correct to use “royal” artificial flowers in the interior of a living room, furnished in a pompous classical style with carved arches, cornices and a grand piano in the middle. And for a room in a minimalist style, for example, a narrow elegant vase with one orchid branch is enough.

Artificial flowers in the interior

Vases and pots with flora look great in any apartment or house. You just need to choose the right plants.

Artificial flowers easily fit into any interior style

Plants in the bedroom should please the eye and set the mood for relaxation.

Plastic flowers will add coziness to the bathroom

If your home has a staircase, then you can decorate it too. Hang flower garlands on the railings, and place several small vases with flora on the steps. To decorate the bathroom, it makes sense to use artificial flowers that are not afraid of moisture. Compositions made of latex and plastic are an ideal option.

It can be difficult to allocate space for a vase or pot; in this case, a floral arrangement in the form of a panel will help out

In addition, flowers can be used to decorate a floor lamp shade in any room, decorate a wall with a panel of beautiful plants, place a Hawaiian garland on the head of a bed, or decorate a fireplace with it. There are a lot of decor options - everything is limited only by your imagination.

Where and how to compose a composition

Artificial flora will never replace living nature, however, it is an important decoration for home interior decoration. Flower arrangements can decorate any room and give it a festive look .

To decorate artificial compositions, it is important to choose the right flowers for each individual room . For example, orchids, dahlias or gladioli will look beautiful in the living room. In the bedroom there is a small lavender or violet. Sunflowers or bouquets of wildflowers can take place in the kitchen.

A skillfully selected color scheme will make your favorite corner much cozier. And they will look incredibly beautiful. Undoubtedly, they can easily be confused with real flowers.

Rules of care

What to do if artificial flower arrangements for the interior are covered with dust? Keeping fabric flora tidy and clean is easy and simple. There are several methods by which you can refresh contaminated plants:

1. A feather brush will carefully and accurately remove dust.
2. Compressed air cylinder. But be careful, a strong gust of air can deform the flowers.
3. Spray for silk products will create a protective layer on the fabric, remove dirt and leave no sticky marks.
4. A bag of coarse salt. Place the flowers in it and gently shake them several times.
5. A mixture of water and vinegar in a ratio of 1 to 10. Pour the liquid into a spray bottle and spray the prepared composition onto the flower arrangement.
6. Warm water with soap. The most common method of cleaning a plant. Dip the flora into a bowl with the mixture, rinse gently, and wipe with a dry towel. Be extremely careful not to distort the fabric.

The main thing is to remove the dust in time, then you will have to wash the flowers less often

Artificial compositions should be dried upside down. If the composition has lost its original appearance, the resulting flaws can be easily corrected. Use a steam iron or hair dryer. This way you can smooth out the fabric and significantly improve its appearance.

DIY fabric compositions

Making flora is an interesting and entertaining business. It is not necessary to purchase a ready-made bouquet. You can make flowers with your own hands. To do this you will need the following materials:

• a small piece of organza;
• threads, scissors, needle;
• beads or beads;
• glue;
• candle and matches;
• paper for drawing blanks.

So, you will need a piece of paper or cardboard. The preparatory stage is drawing blanks. The most important and beautiful thing about a flower is its delicate petals. Therefore, you need to approach your work with full responsibility. On a piece of paper, draw the required number of future petals of different sizes: large, medium and small.

To draw circles, you can take containers of suitable diameter

Place the resulting blanks on a piece of fabric. In this case it is organza. Choose any color of the material. Next, you need to cut out the resulting petals with scissors. You will notice that the fabric may fray a little around the edges. This is easy to fix. Hold the workpiece over a burning candle or match. The fabric will be “sealed” and the petal will acquire a beautiful curve.

It is necessary to melt the edges of the organza over a lit candle.

Next, you can begin to form the bud. Place large petals at the bottom and small ones at the top. To secure the resulting flower, use a needle and thread that matches the color of the fabric. Make a few stitches in the center of the bud. Decorate the middle of the bud with beads or beads of a contrasting shade. You can secure them in the center of the composition with glue.

Assembling the flower begins with large parts, stringing them on wire. The middle is decorated to your taste with beads or beads

Decorate curtains, lampshades, and headboards with artificial flora. The panel formed from buds of different colors looks beautiful. Art stores now offer a wide variety of panels. They can be large or small, rounded or square, with or without a frame.

How to make it yourself?

By creating artificial flowers with your own hands, you can create a composition that not only matches the interior of the room, but also meets your personal preferences.

What will you need?

You can make artificial flowers with your own hands from fabric or paper. For the first option you will need:

• organza;
• beads;
• needle and thread;
• scissors;
• candle and matches;
• glue;
• paper.

For the second option, in addition to paper, you will need PVA glue and polymer clay.

Procedure

To create artificial flowers from fabric, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Draw blanks of petals of different sizes on paper.
2. Place the blanks on the fabric and cut out the petals with scissors.
3. Burn the edges of the fabric over a candle, thereby removing any protruding threads.
4. Form a bud. To do this, you need to connect the petals together (small in the center, large at the edges) using thread and a needle.
5. Decorate the composition with beads, securing the beads with glue.

White paper makes good artificial calla lilies. To make such a flower, you will need to cut out several hearts of the required size. Then you should roll out the polymer clay in the form of a small rope and let the material dry for 30 minutes. Next, the resulting “stamen” should be placed in the center of the heart, fold the paper and glue the edges.

DIY paper flowers

The technique is quite simple and suitable even for a beginner. The easiest way is to make everyone's favorite calla lilies. They will fit into almost any interior and will look stylish and unique. To make flora you will need to use the following materials:

• double-sided paper or foam rubber;
• yellow polymer clay;
• PVA glue.

From white or any other color paper, cut out a regular heart of the desired size. To make a stamen you will need polymer clay. Roll a small flagellum out of it, let the material dry for 20-30 minutes. Turn the heart upside down and insert the stamen into the future bud.

You need to work with clean hands, as polymer clay absorbs any dirt.

Place it strictly in the center. Glue the edges of the petal itself over the polymer flagellum. All that remains is to give the bud the appearance as close as possible to a living flower. Turn the edges outward a centimeter. Your calla lily is ready. But remember, you should not place artificial paper plants in rooms with high humidity. Otherwise, your work will quickly become unusable and lose its original appearance.

These flowers are very fragile and require careful handling.

Where to buy artificial compositions

The easiest option is to purchase flora online. Another solution is to buy flowers from florist shops. There you will find a wide variety of plants for any room. They are formed into bouquets, placed in pots and vases. However, remember, the finished composition should not consist of more than 3 types of plants. Otherwise, you risk not highlighting the interior of your apartment, but ruining it with incorrectly selected colors.

Polyester products look beautiful

Before buying artificial flowers, smell them - quality products do not smell like plastic

Don't be afraid to experiment when choosing flora. Finding the perfect composition for your home is easier than it seems. The main thing is to choose a quality product. Flowers should not fall off or have an unpleasant plastic smell. Use your imagination and transform your home thanks to artificial plants!
