One can hardly underestimate the role that flowers play in the interior. They revitalize the room, make it cozy and warm, give it beauty and elegance. Regardless of whether we are talking about living or artificial plants, it is necessary to choose and place them correctly. The tips in this article will help you cope with this task.
Flowers in the interior of the hall
The hall creates the first impression of the house. It is with him that the guests begin to get acquainted with the apartment. Are the flowers appropriate in the interior of the hallway? Yes, however, you must choose them correctly. It is great if the hall is well lit, but this, unfortunately, does not happen so often. Therefore, the choice is best made in favor of unpretentious and shade-tolerant specimens, abandoning light-loving species. Preference should also be given not to thin, but to lush bushes. They will look spectacular in the light of fluorescent lamps.
Artificial flowers will be a valuable acquisition for the interior of the hall. You can give preference to the vine, gracefully hanging from the side wall of the cabinet. Or opt for a tall vase with a bouquet of plants.
Flowering kitchen
Flowers in the interior of the kitchen are very common. This room rarely suffers from a lack of light. An additional advantage is the relative humidity, which provides optimal conditions for the maintenance of living plants. However, one should not forget that in the kitchen temperature changes are very likely. After all, it is in this room that the owners are engaged in cooking, washing dishes. Therefore, you need to stop at flowers that withstand such differences without harming themselves.
Ivy, tradescantia, aloe, ficus, chlorophytum, asparagus - there are plenty of options, it remains only to make a choice.
For artificial plants, there is also a place in the kitchen. Single items and bouquets can be placed in small and elegant vases, flower pots. They will help to dilute the standard row of jars of spices. Artificial flowers are also able to complement a still life with natural fruits.
Flowers in the living room
What about the colors in the interior of the living room? Traditionally, this is the largest room in an apartment or house. The whole family gathers here, hosting guests. So, it is best to stay on large floor specimens with wide leaves. The best place for them is near the window. This recommendation can be ignored when it comes to shade-tolerant plants.
An effective solution is hanging baskets on the walls. With their help, you can decorate and revitalize the room.
Decoration of the hall with artificial flowers is also welcome. The choice depends on the style of the room. The tenderness of Provence can be emphasized using a composition of small roses in a white vase. Artificial wildflowers, for example, dandelions, daisies, cornflowers, perfectly fit into the cozy country style. The classic interior should be complemented by lilies, roses or orchids, and Japanese - with sakura branches. Caution is required if the living room is decorated in high-tech style. Choosing the right flowers is not easy.
Cabinet
For the office, the best choice would be fresh flowers. For example, you can decide in favor of ficus. This plant will help to concentrate, will give enthusiasm. The most difficult things will be argued. Also a great acquisition would be yucca. This instance gives people self-confidence.
Responsible work will certainly help cope with azalea. If you put this flower in the office, its owner will not doubt for a minute the successful outcome of the matter.
Of course, artificial flowers can also be used. They are chosen according to the same principle as the plants intended for decorating the living room.
Bedroom in flowers
Flowers are also appropriate in the interior of the bedroom, but some care is required. There should not be too many plants in this room. The choice can be made in favor of a flower pot on a table or nightstand, an outdoor copy. Flowers are also suitable for decorating a window, because it will allow to revive the landscape behind it. The main thing is to take into account the dimensions of the windowsill. If it is narrow, it is worth stopping on small pots with delicate leaves. For a wide windowsill, you can choose a beautiful box, a tall and large plant.
In the bedroom there is no place for flowers that absorb oxygen and emit carbon dioxide, for example, lilies have this ability. Also, the use of plants with a strong smell is not allowed, otherwise its owners will wake up every morning with a headache.
Artificial flowers in a vase will also be a good solution for the bedroom. For example, you can stay on fabric products. Examples of polyurethane and latex, which are called “real touch” colors, will look spectacular.
Flowers in the nursery
When choosing flowers for the interior, you should not disregard the children's room. The decision is made primarily depending on who owns the bedroom. For a boy’s room, it’s best to choose plants with an original trunk or exotic leaves. A girl’s bedroom is able to decorate flowering specimens.
Of course, "greens" should be safe for the child: non-toxic, devoid of sharp thorns. If the children are small, hanging flower pots are best suited for placing flowers. Many plants are not needed - one or two.
Artificial specimens should also be made of safe materials, located high enough.
Bathroom
Flowers are rare in the bathroom, so using them will add originality to the interior. Of course, it is best to dwell on hygrophilous plants. Artificial specimens are selected depending on the design of the bathroom.
Chiaroscuro
What else should be remembered by those who are attracted by fresh flowers in the interior of the apartment? When composing compositions, one must not forget about the location of the light source. A directional source will help to consider it in the smallest details. If the light falls from below, mysterious shadows will appear on the wall behind the plants.
The atmosphere of fabulousness will be given to the interior by lamps placed at the floor level behind the flowers.
Sizes and proportions
What role can flowers take in the interior? With their help, you can change the room visually. Say, low ceilings will become visually higher if you place a pot with a tall plant on the floor. If the ceilings are high, it is worth hanging a basket from which leaves will hang.
We must not forget that large plants are designed for large rooms. Whereas the interior of a small room will only benefit if we focus on smaller copies.
Flower Arrangements
What you need to remember when making floor compositions of artificial flowers for the interior or live specimens? Creativity is welcome. For example, you can arrange several plants in small pots in one large container. The spaces between them can be filled with earth so that the edges are not visible. Plants that are different in height or beautifully matching in color look interesting in the composition.
You can also use a hanging basket to combine colors. At its bottom, you must first lay cellophane or polyethylene.
Traditional pots and pots can be abandoned in favor of bizarre aquariums partially filled with earth. Excellent in such a capacity will look orchids, violets, ferns. To create spectacular compositions, multi-tier coasters are suitable on which flowers can be placed, cascading, say, asparagus, bells.
Color scheme
The color of plants should be harmoniously combined with tones of finishing materials, furniture upholstery, textiles, curtains. The riot of colors does not fit into all interior styles. Looks great in the composition of instances that are similar in color. For example, you can combine red and burgundy, blue and blue, yellow and orange.
A careful game in contrasts is welcome. Say a combination of white and red, blue and yellow, blue and white.
Flowers and ornament
What else are the rules for placing flowers in the interior? If the pot with the plant will be located on the background of a curtain or wall with a bright and large ornament, it is better to stay on a copy with neat small leaves. A small background pattern goes well with large-leaved plants.
You should pay attention to the design of the flower pot (flower pots, vases, and so on). If it is placed next to variegated wallpaper, it is better to stay on a solid option.
The importance of the rim
When decorating the interior with plants, many make the same mistake. For example, flowers in a vase or pot can be beautiful and original. But no one will appreciate this if the container itself has a faded appearance.
Suppose there is no desire to transplant a plant from one pot to another. In this case, you can decorate the container using improvised means.
