In Patterned Fabrics

Spring is in the air and that means the flowers are in bloom {yay!}. If you are feeling inspired by the fresh buds outside and want to start introducing florals into your home, one way to do so is with floral patterned fabrics! Floral fabrics come in a wide variety of styles and types. Some may immediately think of the small scale florals of their grandmother’s day. Think again! There are beautiful floral fabrics for almost any taste. Florals are best used in small amounts here and there. They can make gorgeous statements when used correctly. These photos show two great examples of how you can use floral fabrics in decor.

Another great way to introduce florals into your home is in artwork. Again, there is a huge variety in the types and styles you can choose from to fit you and your home’s personality. Everything from over the top traditional to minimalistic contemporary and everything in between is what you'll find on the market today. One of our favorite ways to introduce floral artwork into a space is with abstract florals. Using this style can allow masculine and feminine styles to merge  since we normally think of florals as leaning toward the feminine side.

With Real or Faux Stems

Finally, you can introduce florals into your space by using real or faux stems in an arrangement. Some of our favorite types to use when going faux include orchids, tulips, hydrangeas and peonies. All of these flowers can look very real in their faux forms which is an important quality to have when putting together a faux arrangement. Bringing Spring indoors with real or faux stems can truly breath life into any space and can give you that fresh feel you've been searching for!

The New Flower


I've been seeing gorgeous arrangements all over Pinterest and in magazines.  I wouldn't call them floral arrangements because they don't contain many, if any , flowers. the focal point of the pieces are bare tree braches.  No leaves on the branches, just beautiful, shapely arms stretching out from the trunk. It may sound barren, but look at these arrangements to see how you can blend the branches with other greenery to end up with a beautiful conversation piece!

A Fall ensemble that creates drama and interest for a mantle in a vaulted great room.  The branch will provide the serious height we needed for a room with high ceilings.


A pair of these will create a winter wonderland in any room. It's the perfect balance of traditional (with the gilded greenery), trendy (tree branch) and dazzling (the metallic shades that play with the light). They will be used as part of Christmas decor in a formal room with a variety of gold silver and pink decorations.

All of the pieces shown above were custom created for my clients. I worked closely with my floral designer to find just the right pieces to compliment the decor of the homes we were working in. After the pieces were complete, my floral gal shared with me that before we made the arrangements, not too many people were interested in the tree branch. They didn't understand how to incorporate it into their decor. After our pieces were complete, the branches are selling like wildfire. We gave people some vision and they ran with it.
