Summer is almost here, and the beauty of the season can’t be overemphasized. As we wait for the season, does that mean you can’t beautify your home with flowers? As you wait, how about filling your home with beautiful faux flowers or plants to add some color to your home. Here are a few pro homeowner tips on how to successfully use artificial flowers in your home décor.
Pro Homeowner Tips: Artificial Flowers
Artificial flowers aren’t created equal. There are so many options available. Here are pro homeowner tips to give you the most realistic and beautiful synthetic flower options.
Alter Store Bought Flowers
Note that most top-rated artificial flowers arrive with straight stems and closed buds. Make sure to bend some of the stems after putting them in the vase to mimic the look of real flowers. Also, open up some of the flower heads to ensure they are different and look fresh.
Sometimes the faux flowers you purchase might be tall. If you want a shorter arrangement for your room, you can bend the stems instead of cutting them to help fit in a vase. With these, you can use the branches in a tall and short vase at different times.
Use Opaque Vases
An opaque vase hides bent stems or other oddities that make them look unnatural. No one has to know the stems aren’t natural unless they inspect them close up.
Cut Stems and Remove Leaves
The short flower arrangement can be tricky if you have long flowers and a short vase. Use a wire cutter to cut the stems and remove the lower leaves. Bending the stems can be tricky and sometimes creates a bundle too tight for the vase. Add a small ball of chicken wire to the vase to separate and hold the stems in place.
Use Dirt With Artificial Potted Plants
An artificial potted plant makes a great addition, especially in the living room where the corners are underutilized. Use a pot and add dirt to make the plant look realistic. No one will suspect a thing as these look amazingly natural.
Place in Locations Where Live Plants Would Grow
Avoid putting the plants in awkward spaces. Place them in corners and other places where living plants would grow. Put the plants next to a window or bright light to make them look even better.
Add Color to a Plain Room
For a neutral kitchen, the pop of colorful flowers creates a significant impact. Use the flowers to bring summer right into your kitchen as you wait to get fresh ones from the store or your garden. These are also a great addition to a laundry room to freshen up the area.
