Design Essentials: Greenery & Florals

Every space needs some whether they are real, fake, big or small; I’m a firm believer that greenery & florals are needed in every room. It adds color, texture & really breathes life into a room.

Now for myself, I’m all about the faux plants because I do not have a green thumb, but if you can keep your fiddle leaf alive, then go on with your bad self. Today, I’m rounding up some of my all time favorite faux greenery & florals for you!

Large faux trees are great in any room. They fill in empty corners; they look beautiful in front of floor mirrors. If the one you buy doesn’t come potted, then put it in a basket, crock or buy your own pot for it. You’ll have to add fillers to surround the tree base—newspaper & plastic grocery bags work great for this. Then top it off with a little moss.

I have a love hate relationship with faux stems. I love them so so much, especially all of the stems from Afloral. They are all so beautiful & realistic. They are also pricey & I typically want my arrangements to be full, so it takes a lot. However, because they are such good quality they are going to last for years to come, so I think they are worth the investment, especially if you are doing an arrangement on your mantel, coffee table, kitchen table, or kitchen island.

You can also find some really pretty, affordable potted small plants at Target & Home Goods that will work great on your bookshelves.

Truly every room needs some sort of greenery to add a pop of color & bring life to the space.
