May Flowers are in Bloom

May flowers are blooming and we are energized and inspired by their vibrant colors and natural beauty.

Did you know that exposure to florals and floral patterns can evoke positive emotions and improve mood? The colors, shapes, and textures stimulate the senses and trigger feelings of happiness, pleasure, and contentment.

With so many stylish options, it’s easy to add florals into your home decor.

Have Fun with Floral Fabrics

Incorporate floral patterns into your decor with accent pieces, enabling you to experiment without the commitment.

Use solid fabrics for larger furniture pieces to anchor the room and allow the floral patterns to stand out.

Real vs. Faux

ADD A TOUCH OF NATURAL BEAUTY TO LIFT YOUR SPIRITS

Real flowers are a small touch that can make a big impact. Florals serve as natural focal points in interior spaces, while the presence of real flowers in a home can have a positive effect on mood and ambiance.

FRESH CUT FLOWER CARE

DIY flower food: Make your own by adding a few drops of bleach or lemon juice to the water, along with a pinch of sugar.

Water temperature matters: When arranging fresh cut flowers, we typically recommend using lukewarm water to allow for optimal absorption and to prevent shock from extreme temperatures.

OUR POTTED PICKS

With proper care, indoor potted flowers can last for several weeks, months, or even years.

We love these options because they are low-maintenance, long-lasting, and well-suited to indoor conditions.

Fabulous Fauxs

LONG-LASTING & LUXE

Faux flowers have come a long way from the stiff, artificial-looking decorations of the past.

Premium fauxs give you a realistic, high-end look without the limitations of real flowers.

Rethink Florals

Moving past the shabby chic era, today’s florals are fresh and modern, yet timeless.

Depending on the aesthetic, florals can be used to make a bold statement or create an aura of sophisticated elegance.

Wow with Wallpaper

Use florals in unexpected places to make a statement. Incorporating wallpaper with a bold floral pattern adds an element of surprise and whimsy while elevating the design of the space.

Location is key: Keep flowers away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wilting and fading. Avoid drafty areas and air vents, as they can cause flowers to dry out quickly.
