5 ways to refresh your home using dried flowers
Dried flowers have long since been a popular choice for bouquets and arrangements. Their rustic beauty and ability to endure the test of time gives them a special place in the heart of flower lovers.
But did you know there are other ways you can make the most of these stunning blooms?
Here are 5 unique ways you can use dried flowers to rejuvenate your favourite living spaces.
- The Bathroom
When styled well, your bathroom can become a haven for serenity and peace. Think fluffy towels, clean benchtops – and of course, a calming, beautiful scent!
Rosebuds and calendula petals are the perfect dried flowers to use in a homemade bath salt mix. Simply combine Epsom salts, sea salt, baking powder and essential oils of your choice in a clean glass jar, and you’ve got your very own scented bath salt.
Pop the jar on display in your bathroom for a home décor option that not only looks great but is useful – and smells heavenly too.
- The Kitchen
Dried flowers make a great addition to your kitchen’s benchtop. Try adding a dried flower arrangement in a bowl or vase around the sides of your sink and spritz it lightly with your favourite perfume or room scent.
Every time you enter the kitchen, you will be greeted with beautiful flowers and a smell to-die-for!
- The Lounge and Dining Room
Your lounge and dining area are easily the best rooms to style if you want to impress your guests.
Try hitting up your local op shops for some funky, vintage vases. Dried flowers have a beautiful rustic feel that looks great when displayed in old-fashioned pots.
Start by adding a range of different coloured dried flowers around the room. Eye-catching spots include in the middle of the dining table, near the windowsill, or on the coffee table.
Don’t have a vase? Scatter dried petals along the table or around candelabras will create a charming look that will be sure to make your guests smile.
- The Bedroom
Your bedroom is where you go to rest and rejuvenate, so it’s important to make sure your design reflects this.
Opting for more subtle touches, such as a small floral vase display, will give your room a feeling of simplicity and calm.
If you’re looking for something with a bit more wow, consider selecting a range of dried flowers to press and display in glass frames on your wall.
- The Garden
If you place them out of direct sunlight and wet weather, dried flowers make beautiful decorations in your garden.
Create an outdoor garland using pretty hydrangeas or build your own floral wreath using a selection of dried flowers and leaves.
For a wreath with a difference, try adding some succulents to it. The beauty of designing your own dried flower decorations is that you’re only limited by your imagination.
