Fresh flowers add charm to any room. They are also a great way to express love, gratitude and appreciation to a loved one. They symbolize freshness and spring awakening to life. Unfortunately, fresh flowers do not last long, so here are some interesting ideas for decorations in a vase
Artificial flowers are a great alternative to live flowers. Both in stationary and online stores you can find a lot of beautiful artificial flowers that look just like the real ones. The choice is really wide, so it all depends on our taste. The advantage of artificial flowers is their durability in comparison with live flowers, which last for a maximum of two weeks. Artificial flowers, whether you choose roses, tulips or carnations, will last for many years. What is more, you can use them to create many original decorative compositions. DIY enthusiasts will also find great potential in them. Artificial flowers can be bought as a ready-made bouquet or individually
All kinds of natural or artificial twigs and grasses with longer stems, or even dried cereals, will fit into taller vases. They will fit perfectly in a kitchen arrangement surrounded by apples or a bowl of fruit. Artificial grass or twigs, such as dried cotton, can be combined with natural or artificial flowers. This will give our composition a bit more color. Artificial twigs with the use of led lights seem to be interesting, which especially in the holiday season will give an unusual atmosphere. A beautiful decoration will be red branches of dried flax, which will fit perfectly into any interior
Glass vases have a special decorative potential. Especially the round ones with thick glass. An interesting idea is to use sand, sticks, stones and plants to create an imitation beach. Thanks to such decoration you will be reminded of the best seaside vacations – regardless of the season
Such a decoration will blend in perfectly in a room in the nautical style, but not only. To create a beach in a vase you can use stones collected by the sea or those bought in the store. Plants and sticks can also be found on a natural beach or purchased from a store specializing in aquariums. These stores offer a wide range of products. Miniatures of boats, deck chairs or lighthouses that will complete our composition can be found on the Internet
A miniature forest in your home? It is possible! Use a round vase to create a forest space. Urban jungle, or urban jungle is a trend that in recent years is a real hit. This method involves creating an ecosystem in a glass vessel. Plants that are not too expansive, such as ferns or ivy, are suitable for small and medium-sized vessels, but the most popular are chamedoras, monstera, date palms, yucca and dracaena. If you decide on the latter, they should be placed in a slightly larger jar or dish
A mini forest is created in a simple way. At the bottom of the vase or jar pour expanded clay, which is nothing but a material fired from clay. This is what helps plants grow because it acts like a pot with a hole in it – it drains water, aerates the soil and provides air. It can be found in home improvement stores, garden stores and online. It is also a good idea to add grit to the surface of your mini forest as it has a hardening and aesthetic effect.
It is also necessary to choose the right plants and know the rules of their care. In terms of soil, the safest way is to buy a ready-made mixture, which consists of deacidified peat, sand and earth. The last stage is decorating, for example with stones, which we can buy in building stores
As you can see, there are many ideas for decorating a vase. Let your creativity run wild!
