Faced with economic challenges, it is sometimes hard to justify the need to decorate our homes. I find using a small bouquet of flowers bought at the grocery store can freshen up a room in minutes. For under $10 you can bring home a bouquet of flowers that offers great decorating mileage.
Here are a few of my ideas for using fresh flowers in your own homes:
- Use vintage glass such as bottles and mason jars for a container of sweet flowers.
- Cut the tops off of the flowers and float them in pretty bowls for a table top display.
- Put a few flowers in a kitchen glass and then place inside a small basket for a simple look.
- Tie a ribbon around a handful of flowers and lay on a silver tray or platter. Let them air dry to extend their beauty.
- I love to use old rusty tins and add fresh flowers for an interesting arrangement.
- Wrap wire around the tops of containers and hang your flower bouquets off of doors and walls.
- Line single flowers in small glass vases along a window seal for impact.
- Use a large lettuce leaf and wrap around a handful of flowers then secure with a piece of raffia around the bundle.
- Slice lemons or limes and place in the bottom of a glass jar then add your flowers for a sunny arrangement.
- Place a small arrangement beside your bed so when you wake up it is the first thing you see in the mornings.
