Ideas for Decorating with Silk Flowers, Plants, Trees and Wreaths
1. Coordinate silk flowers and foliage with your style of decorating. If your decor is contemporary or modern, choose plants with clean, sleek lines and slender shapes, such as dracaenas, cycas palms or topiary. For a traditional decor, consider ferns, ficus varieties, topiary, hanging ivy or spring flowers. Tropical decorating just begs for palms, orchids or tropical flowers. If your decor is Asian, bonsai, bamboo and Japanese maples would be perfect. Ferns, topiary, hanging plants and vases of flowers work well with country-style decorating. Is your style Southwestern? Try cacti, succulents, yuccas, palms or potted grasses. And, for the office, plants with strong leaves, such as monstera or large figs and palms work best.
2. Keep balance and scale in mind when deciding where to put silk plants, trees or flowers. Choose plant heights and fullness based on the available space. You don’t want to overpower a small area with a large tree or have smaller plants or flower arrangements seem lost in a larger area.
3. For greater impact, group your silk plants together with different heights and volumes. Try putting some on plant stands or small tables. Using an odd number of items is preferable.
4. Contrast plants and trees with one another for a more dynamic display. For example, combine smaller standing plants with long, hanging plants with flowers.
5. Group three large plants or trees in a triangular shape or place them at a diagonal for a pleasing visual effect.
6. Placing plants next to small furniture pieces will visually expand the width of the furniture.
7. Use smaller plants and flower arrangements to add interest to shelves, etageres and tables.
8. Place large trees or topiary in empty corners or entryways.
9. Create a room divider with large trees and plants. For example, if you want to separate a living and dining room area, place a couch with its back to the dining area, add a sofa table against the back and fill the table with silk plants and flower arrangements.
10. Add palms, hanging plants and tropical silk flowers to the bathroom to create a relaxing, spa-like environment.
11. Instead of curtains on a window, hang plants in front of it. Or place glass shelves across a window and arrange several flowering plants or trailing plants on them.
12. Accent and silhouette silk trees and large plants by placing a light on the floor and focusing it on the wall.
13. Wreaths say “welcome!” Nothing is more beautiful and welcoming than a wreath on the front door of your home or office.
Silk Flowers, Plants and Trees as Gifts
Need a gift and not sure what to get? Consider silk flower arrangements, silk trees, silk plants or silk wreaths as beautiful and thoughtful gifts.
As a housewarming or realtor gift, an arrangement of silk flowers or a silk wreath is a warm way of welcoming the new person to the neighborhood or for saying thank you for your business. A beautiful arrangement of silk flowers, a silk plant or an impressive silk tree can be a bright and cheerful birthday, anniversary or any milestone gift. And what could be more thoughtful as a get-well-soon gift than an arrangement of exotic tropical silk flowers. They require very little maintenance, they will virtually last forever and your well-chosen gift and thoughtfulness will not be forgotten.
