Bringing the outside indoors with plants and flowers is a beautiful way to add a touch of nature to your interior spaces but we’re not all blessed with green thumbs! You can achieve the same results with faux plants, greenery and flowers without the maintenance that real plants require. It also takes the pressure off when going away on vacation and wondering if your plants are going to survive without you.
Let’s talk about the benefits of using faux plants and flowers for interior decoration.
- They're low maintenance and stay fresh-looking and vibrant all year round with minimal effort.
- They’re the perfect choice for people with allergies or asthma because they don't release pollen or allergens into the air.
- Well-maintained faux plants can last for many years, making them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
- Faux plants and flowers come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, allowing you to find the perfect match for your decor and personal taste.
- You can decorate with faux plants and flowers regardless of the season, so you can enjoy your favourite blooms without seasonal restrictions.
Here are some handy tips for decorating with faux plants and flowers:
Invest in realistic-looking faux plants made from high-quality materials. Look for ones with natural colours, textures, and details.
This is one of our favourite tips to create a more natural and inviting atmosphere - mix real plants with faux ones, real blooms with faux flowers and greenery. This can help you maintain a connection to nature while reducing maintenance. By mixing real and faux plants you can enjoy the benefits of both. Real plants can provide air-purifying benefits and a natural aroma, while faux plants require less attention.
Just like any other decor items, faux plants and flowers can accumulate dust. Dust them regularly to keep them looking fresh or use the cool setting of your hair dryer to blow dust off.
Consider the strategic placement of faux plants and flowers in your home to create focal points or fill empty spaces. They work well in living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, and even office spaces.
Choose planters and containers that complement the style of the faux plants and fit well with your decor. You can also add decorative elements like moss or pebbles to enhance the realism.
If you like to change your decor frequently, faux plants and flowers make it easy to switch things up without the commitment of caring for real plants, and you can easily move them from room to room for a different look.
Be mindful of the size of the faux plants you choose. Select the appropriate size for your space. Oversized plants can overwhelm a room, while small ones may not have the desired impact.
Place your faux plants where they can catch natural or artificial light to enhance their appearance and make them look more realistic. If you have areas in your home with limited natural light, faux plants can provide a much-needed touch of greenery without the need for sunlight.
Bringing the outside indoors with faux plants and flowers can be a fun and creative way to enhance your home's ambience. With the right selection and care, they can add a touch of nature and beauty to any space to enjoy for years.
