Live flowers or houseplants are always good, they add color to your surroundings. Bad weather is far less appalling if there is something in your home that blooms and gives off a sweet fragrance.
There are, of course, ordinary floral compositions, but you can do these in more interesting ways. Try assuming the role of a florist and catch some inspiration!
We at Lilylover would like to suggest a few of the most colorful options and recommend buying yourself some flowers right away.
Decoration made of shells and pebbles
Glass jars and containers are an unusual yet cheap alternative for flower vases. If you put some sea shells, pebbles, or fish bowl decorations in there, they can become a small work of art.
An original vase made of rubber boots
To add some sunshine to a rainy day, get yourself some bright tulips and put them in waterproof rubber boots — they fit the role of a vase perfectly. By the way, other small houseplants will look nice in worn shoes you don’t need anymore.
A new life for an old watering pot
Use old kitchenware with imagination! Bring an old watering pot or a pitcher back to life by planting flowers in there that match the color.
Miniature vases made of eggshells
A table composition made from eggshells and flowers looks really springy and fresh. You can also add green twigs, pebbles, dried flowers, or any other decorations. You can even replace the eggshells with sea-shells of different sizes.
Flowers instead of soup
If you have a long forgotten soup tureen, it’s time to put it to use. Using a flat vase or a soup tureen, you can make a very posh bouquet that will brighten your house on special days.
A collection of vases made from old bottles
If you want to decorate your interior but don’t have enough time, start with something simple. Single flowers in tall wine or soda bottle draw attention to themselves and fit almost any surrounding. Bottles can be either similar or different in shape and color — they all look nice!
A flower shelf made out of a wooden box
Making a wooden box or tray into a hanging shelf is not that hard to do. Such shelves with flower pots inside of them look perfect in countryhouses or Provence-style kitchens.
A cute flower basket
Any grass or small flowers in a basket will create a cozy atmosphere in your home. Inside, you should put some treated sponge to help preserve the freshness of the plants.
A sweet handmade vase
A bouquet in red and white will look very unique in a sweet vase made out of candy canes, that can be put inside or outside of the vase itself. The difficult part here is keeping them away from your kids! You can also use colored pencils or brushes for drawing instead of candy.
A bouquet’s second life
Broken or wilting flowers can live longer if their buds are placed in a shallow glass or ceramic bowl filled with water. Such a floating composition of roses, chrysantemums, or gerberae will save their fragrance and colors for a very long time.
