Artificial flowers for home interior - decorate the apartment and house

Everyone agrees that the flowers create a cozy atmosphere, give the interior a finished look. Psychologists also argue that they improve mood and help to balance the psycho-emotional state. Therefore, it is important to pay special attention to phytodesign in residential premises. Fresh flowers are a special luxury and not always a practical solution for the implementation of such a design. We propose to consider an alternative - artificial flowers!
Most fashion trends come to us from Europe, and this trend is no exception. Technologies do not stand still, modern manufacturers offer very realistic flower crafts, some of them imitate living plants not only visually but also by tactile sensations. I would like to especially note that artificial flowers for home interior are irreplaceable and their popularity is steadily growing every year, it’s not easy, because there are a number of undeniable advantages.

Unfading flowers

Cut cultures are very fastidious to conditions, they should be stored at a certain temperature, in the hot summer sun they fade due to lack of moisture, in winter their petals freeze in a few seconds at temperatures below zero, at high humidity they rot. The decor of artificial flowers is not subject to such adverse factors. They do not require special care: changing water, cutting stems, buying special additives, spraying, etc.

Do not cause irritation and allergies. There are many people who are very fond of flowers, but can not afford to admire them every day due to medical conditions. This problem was solved with the advent of high-quality artificial flowers that are completely hypoallergenic. In addition, they are made from environmentally friendly polymers.

Out of season. Many live plants have seasonality in their bloom, for example, tulips are available only in spring, lavender in summer, and peonies cannot be found in stores from October to April. While decorative, available in perfect condition in any season.

Design Design

In order for the decor with artificial flowers to be of high quality and complete it is necessary to start with a project. The paper displays all the details of the future design. It is important to think over the general idea, style, color palette, composition, and you need to consider the budget

If there is no desire to involve the decorator to implement the design, then you can at least instruct him to draw up a detailed plan with sketches and descriptions, this option will be more successful, because Such design requires special skills and a lot of experience in floristics. If it is important to get the maximum result, then it is necessary to provide this work to a specialist.

Professional phytodesigners will create beautiful compositions suitable for your home. In the case when there is no possibility to hire a designer, you can implement your creative ideas on your own. To make the result worthy, follow the tips from this article.

Tips for choosing the material

Modern productions offer the following materials for making flowers:

Textile;
Latex coated fabric;
Polyurethane foam;
Latex.

Fabric products are the most common, their price is quite acceptable and accessible to all. Outwardly, they may have a high similarity with live analogues, but they are still significantly inferior in terms of this indicator to nonwoven polymeric competitors. To make it more realistic, textiles are sometimes covered with latex, which by itself affects the price with a rise in price.

Products made of latex and polyurethane can boast a high class of realism; they are called the colors of “real touch” that visually and tactilely imitate natural qualities. They are not afraid of moisture, they can be washed in water, and therefore, only they are suitable for the decoration of the kitchen and bathroom. The only negative is the relatively high cost.

Do it yourself

Particularly talented and assiduous, it is advisable to make flowers for home interior with your own hands. Cold porcelain and foamiran sculptures are very fashionable types of Hand Made, with the help of which they often create extraordinary copies of the originals of the world of flora, in the process of putting into them a piece of the soul, due to which they have a special value. Just as among the living, it is impossible to find two absolutely identical copies.

Previously all the elements, petals, leaves, stems, stamens are molded separately, then fastened together, forming buds and inflorescences. The finished products are dried and stained. It is worth noting that this process requires a lot of time and patience.

Some masters bring their skills in this direction to perfection, their products cannot be distinguished from the natural ones even upon close inspection, and touching them causes bewilderment and delight.

All ingenious is simple

Making the compositions do not need to try to fit in one bouquet all the plants you like, too colorful crafts will not create the desired effect. It is preferable to put several different mono-bouquets in vases of different height from the same collection. Such an installation will be understandable and look more professional than a complex composition, assembled by the amateur flower man’s inept hands.

In order to significantly transform the house, it is not necessary to create complex compositions; it is enough to find the most advantageous place in the interior for a single vase with high-quality artificial flowers.

It is necessary to plan the decor so that everything in the interior of the apartment looks appropriate. If the design of the room to be decorated is simple and uncommon, the flower decoration should be appropriate and not create disharmony. Conversely, it will be correct to use the "royal" artificial flowers in the interior of the living room, furnished in a pompous classical style with carved arches, cornices and a grand piano. And to place in a minimalist style is enough, for example, a narrow elegant vase with one branch of an orchid.

Determine the type of composition and place for it.

Compositions can be placed in various places in the living room, for example, placed on coffee tables, dressers, pedestals, on different shelves, fixed on doors, windows, walls, or large enough bouquets in vases placed directly on the floor.

Depending on where you plan to place the composition, its type will depend. Distinguish unilateral and compositions of the circular review. The first, should look equally beautiful from all sides, because any part of them will always be in sight, such bouquets are placed on dining or coffee tables. The second, can have only one front side, the wrong side can be neglected and decorated with greenery, this side must be turned to the wall and not attract attention when looking at this decoration.

Variety of compositions

Beautiful panels, phyto-paintings, wreaths and other decorative units make up greenery and inflorescences. For a variety, you can add natural materials: bark, transverse cuts of trees, dried fruits (cones, nuts, lotus boxes, acorns), ears of cereal, natural feathers, mollusk shells. With the use of large spices (cinnamon, Badan), dried fruit slices, especially citrus, you can create aroma compositions.

You can also dilute your phyto selections with components of non-natural origin: artificial ice, colorful crystals, beads, brooches, three-dimensional inscriptions, nameplates, decorative fruits. It will be very original if you add handmade decorations made of beads or related lace elements.

Important tips for lovers

Florists create compositions of artificial flowers for the interior, taking into account colors, proportions and other important design rules.

For those who have no experience in the art of decoration, you can give a few universal tips:

Combine materials of the same color, but different shades and textures.
Make mono-bouquets or bouquets of 2-3 varieties of flowers.
Prefer high-quality expensive materials, 3 realistic twigs will look more advantageous and attract more attention than 15 old-fashioned flowers, the artificiality of which can be seen from the other end of the room.
Do not overload the interior, everything should be in moderation. Too much of the decorative flora will add inappropriate solemnity for everyday life.
Pay special attention to the vessels in which there are bouquets, they must be successfully combined with the environment and be one with the floral part. Thus, a bridge is created, combining the interior with the plant component.
Add greens. Such a composition made with your own hands will look "alive."

Potted cultures

Potted flowers require a scrupulous attitude, but unfortunately, not everyone has the necessary knowledge and skills to help maintain their decorativeness. Plus, potted plants are very picky about many indicators, such as temperature, light, humidity, require regular transplantation, and in some cases a special restriction of growth. Sometimes you really want to decorate an empty corner with a green bush in a beautiful flowerpot, but it is likely that due to lack of light it will quickly lose its attractive appearance or even die.

There is a way out of this situation, there are artificial flowers that replace the popular indoor plants: anthurium, ficus, azalea, dracaena, dieffenbachia and others. This decor can not be afraid to leave for a long time unattended, the only care they require is a periodic dusting or washing in the shower.

In conclusion

Decorating with artificial flowers can be done independently, the main thing is not to hurry, but to think through every action, follow your own taste, but listen carefully to the advice of professionals.

In general, a unique decor designed in all trifles will create a special atmosphere. Phytocompositions in the interior will give a finished look to the original artistic idea. With the help of bouquets, you can create a unique design, or simply bring the "highlight" in the overall look. The decor can be easily redone many times, creating new combinations of forms, thus renewing the usual decoration of housing.
