Knowing Your Home Style
As far as home style and personality is involved, there are about five main categories of decorating personalities that homeowners should know about. These categories are generally determined according to how the flowers, when set, can complement and enhance these home styles. So, here are the categories: Victorian If you find your home boasting a style that can be associated with the style used in the Victorian era, which dates from about 1840 to 1900, then you certainly need to think about a flower arrangement and decoration that will fit to this style. Luckily, there are a lot of ideas available to help you match your flower decoration with the style of your home. Here are some of the worth-considering ideas available: Satins, velvets, lace, chintz, and organza create a feeling of softness and romance in the Victorian home. Pastel colors and soft-tone-on-tone prints can be used to gratify the senses. Roses, spray roses, lavender, gardenias, freesia, peonies and other fragrant flowers that come in colors like pale, peach, lavender, yellow, cream, and pink have the ability to invoke a feeling and images of sensuality and romance. According to some experts, all of such mentioned colors and combinations are perfect when placed in vases or containers that are romantic and lovely in style. For added effects, it would be best if you’ll use vases of clear glass, silver and crystal. American Country In today’s highly creative and innovative world, the name “American Country” is becoming one of the hottest phenomena. It is recognized worldwide as a style all it’s own and has been considering some artifacts from the past, like galvanized metal bowls, quilts, and wooden crates, as its main motifs. These motifs are highly favored for the reason that they conjure up images of a comfortable home, the one which is highly welcoming and pleasing. So for floral home decoration, it is a wise idea to fit a combination of flowers such as wild roses, yarrow, scabiosa, and heather into a woven basket or a simple vase. This is ideal to be placed on a coffee table or kitchen counter. Note also that cut flowers, blooming plants, wreaths, herbs and swags presented with a farm-fresh look can be a great natural extension for such above mentioned homespun décor. Casual Easy Living As the name implies, the casual easy living style focuses mainly on simple pleasures of life. Here, the things that will suit best to your floral home decoration would include furniture of light pine, natural woods, bleached oak, or a white-washed painted finish that comes with fabric of cotton and linen in neutral tones. According to some claims, style of this kind will perfectly fit for those who want to bust stress, and the effect would be too great if coupled with flowers, as flowers in this case will try to act as nature’s balancing formula. So the right match of flowers to incorporate into this home style may include green and flowering plants that are casually grouped in a basket, or a set of beautiful flowers, such as sunflowers, hydrangea, daisies, or tulips placed in a vase of clear glass. These beautiful flowers will also look perfect with a casual easy living style if placed on a piece of beautiful pottery or pitcher. Classic Traditional Do you find your home boasting a classic traditional look? Oops! You’re not sure if your home is having this style or not. Well, home built with a classic traditional look usually has formal architecture design. What I am referring here are those homes with impressive front doors, foyers, and rooms that are individually decorated. The classic traditional-styled homes may also feature classic furnishings and antiques with fabric brocade, tapestry and silk. With such kind of home, several experts advised homeowners to set up a classic arrangement of a combination of flowers with accents of foliage and dried fruits. You can consider flowers such as roses, gladiola, iris, carnations, snapdragons and lilies. And, to make an effect so appealing, place these floral combination in containers made of porcelain, crystal, silver or brass. Note that it is basically these containers that look perfect for the classic floral centerpiece. Modern Contemporary Many of today’s homes are built with the contemporary design. They often feature chic and sleek designs by highlighting clean lines, smooth surfaces and forms, along with some elegant-looking fabrics and colorful silks. There are also several other contemporary homes that boast leather and gauze accent steel, glass and other man-made materials. Well, in this kind of environment, flowers that are bold and exotic in appeal will work well to complement your home style. Try to pick or buy flowers such as anthuriums, callas, orchids, and heliconia for your home’s open spaces, and if possible you can display these flowers in frosted glass vases, or in metallic containers and decorative pottery. But for an added dramatic effect, you can choose containers or vases with pewter or stainless steel finishes. So those are the home decorating categories to note when considering flowers as your main tool for home decoration. If you need some advices, you can talk to your florist or your interior designer about incorporating floral elements into your home for added effects. Your interior designer and florist will be able to tell you what style would be best for your home decors, so don’t hesitate to ask them. |
