1. Altar Decoration
One special way to use flowers is to decorate the altar. You can use vibrant and long-lasting flowers such as daisies and straw flowers and place them around photos, statues, and mementos that you want to highlight and make special.
2. Create Floating Flowers on the Surface
Whether your flowers are starting to wilt or you simply want a creative way to display your blooms, consider cutting off the flower heads and placing them in a shallow bowl filled with water. This will help them stay fresh longer and give your flowers a whole new perspective.
3. Divide Them into Smaller Jars
If you have difficulty finding a vase large enough to fit several big bouquets, consider breaking them up into smaller arrangements. Not only does this solve the vase problem, but it also allows you to enjoy the flowers in different parts of your space. Mason jars or a random collection of glassware can give a rustic look.
4. Use Dried Flowers
Dried and preserved flowers are a great way to have flowers in your space without the need for constant pruning, watering, and cleanup. Properly dried or preserved flowers can keep their beautiful shape for many months. You can create your own dried flowers by hanging fresh flowers to dry or choose a professionally dried and preserved bouquet.
5. Hang Them in Suspended Bottles
Flowers don’t have to be placed in a vase or serve as a centerpiece. Think outside the box and find unique places to display them or creative containers to put them in. For example, you can place them in a bottle or jar and hang them with a string on your wall.
6. Place Them in the Corner of the Kitchen
Placing flowers in vases on your kitchen counter can give a rustic look and a lighter feel to the space. Use flowers and vases to express your unique personality and style, choosing placements and stands that suit you.
7. Brighten up Your Bathroom
Flowers can be a great addition to your bathroom or vanity space. Rather than choosing flowers with long stems and tall vases, consider cutting them to a shorter height and placing them in small vases on a vanity tray for a hint of organic visual interest.
8. Create Candlestick Centerpieces
Candles are an easy way to add a cozy feel to a space, but arranging them with flowers takes it a step further. You can trim your flowers and arrange them around a central candle, or place a vase next to the candlestick for a bolder effect. Ensure that the candle’s wick is far enough away from any artificial flowers to avoid a fire hazard.
9. Side Table Decoration
Add charm to your side tables by decorating them with small flowers. You can place a few decorative vases with pretty bouquets and scatter them across your various side tables. Alternatively, enhance the arrangement by using jewelry trays, crystals, and other decorative items to accentuate the flowers.
10. Decorate with Crafts
If you prefer a softer aesthetic, you can create your own flower arrangements using household items instead of traditional vases or glass jars. Consider using unique items like old pair of rubber boots for a more eye-catching and cool approach.
11. Choose Flower Colors That Match Your Home
Flowers can add a pop of color to your entire space, especially when combined with other decorative items. Consider adding small vases that fit into existing shelves or display units to introduce color and texture to your decor.
