Decorating for Winter
Though each season is fun to decorate for, winter decorations seem to hold a special place in everyone’s hearts. When designing with winter décor, remember the climate changes that are taking place and how those climate changes are affecting plants and greenery. Wintry flowers (poinsettias, many white flowers, and a few other species), coniferous plants and elements, and bare tree branches can all be used to create a beautiful winter display. Of course, decorations tied to the Christmas season play a major role in winter decorations. However, if you're planning to use this decor through the winter season, base your decor design on more generic wintry elements that can be added to during the Christmas season.
Benefits of the Bamboo Plant
Few plants are as high in demand as the bamboo. The variety of design, hardiness, and exotic appeal have helped to make this plant a trendy choice. The bamboo plant is known to last for long amounts of time without water, so they are easily maintained in an office or home. In fact, one of the legends of the bamboo plant is that if the bamboo plant dies, it means that somebody has been unfaithful to you. Bamboo plants have very interesting, intricate designs and work well with silk flower arrangements. When decorating with a bamboo plant, you will want to make sure it has enough space vertically in order for it to grow and for people to enjoy the trunk of the tree. Often, the leaves of the bamboo plants are quite broad, so be sure to dust them if you choose an artificial one. Bamboo trees are an excellent choice for home decor design and enjoyment.
Silk Roses
It is a growing trend in weddings to see more and more silk flowers among the decorations. The type of flower used the most to adorn weddings is the rose. The use of roses to decorate homes is also greatly on the rise. The prime reason for this movement is the resemblance to the actual flower and the durability of the silk. The durability of the roses depends on how well they are maintained; they will last a couple years if they are not kept up, and decades if they are preserved well. Roses can be displayed in a variety of ways, from a garland wrapped around curtains to a silk rose arrangement for the dining room table. When roses are placed in a flower arrangement, be sure to angle them so that they can be seen from any point in the room. Adding a scent to your roses also gives your home a nice touch.
Designing with Topiaries: Silk or Real
Just as in art, the way things are spaced in interior design is critical to a well-balanced appearance. When you add topiaries to the area you are enhancing, be sure there is enough “breathing room” for the plants. Remember there are many topiary sizes, shapes, and styles that you can choose from. One design that usually complements office areas involves taller, rounded plants. Since many people do not have the time or ability to make sure their office plants are well watered and have plenty of natural light, silk topiaries are often the best way to go. Another place where the benefits of silk plants will be helpful is your church. You can find silk topiaries small enough to adorn your desk and large enough to fill a large area of a room. Many arrangements include some topiary elements within a more standard display.
