1. Opt For a Single Stem
If you’re after interior design ideas that are still classy, yet absent the hassle of a full bouquet, then single stem displays could be the way to go for you. Transfer several single stem roses or flowers of your choice into multiple small vases and group them together for a perfectly mismatched look.
2. Make It Luxe
One of the easiest ways to lift a room and convey a sense of style and sophistication is with beautiful vases and displays of flowers. Whether you make use of dainty china teacups or place that expensive vase in full view, flowers, such as roses and gerberas, displayed simply, yet elegantly add a refreshing touch to a space that is dull or lacking. Think beyond artificial flowers in old wine bottles and consider unconventional handpicked vases from your local market or antique store.
3. Keep It One Colour
If you prefer sleek coordination to artful arrangements then consider opting for flowers in the same shade. For subtle elegance choose pure white, or for a vibrant, bold touch add a bright pink or yellow to your space. Select a colour that works with the palette of the room and place one large bunch or cluster smaller arrangements throughout.
