Although there are plenty of reasons to love the winter, such as Christmas, snow, and twinkly lights that cheer up the dull sky, it can’t be denied that the darker days can make it feel a bit gloomier than summertime. Luckily, flowers are an ideal way to cheer up your home, bringing the wonder of nature inside while it is dark and chilly outside. Whether you choose to have flowers delivered by a local florist or you want to design your own arrangements, there are plenty of ways to use flowers to brighten up your home. Here are just a few of our favourites.
Winter flowers - while spring is known as the flower season, the truth is that there are plenty of flowers that thrive in the colder weather. So, why not embrace the coldest season wholeheartedly and bring some winter flowers into your home. Some of the most popular include winter pansies and snowdrops, but there are lots more. And don’t forget traditional Christmas plants like holly and mistletoe. You really can bring winter into the home and create a stunning display of flowers at the same time.
Vase of flowers
Once you have chosen which flowers you want in your home, the next question is how to display them. A vase of flowers is the most popular choice, and for good reason, it is simple to do. You can get flowers by post delivered with a vase included, so you don’t have to do much to get this set up. Plus, you can put them where you like, the lounge, bathroom, bedroom, the choices are endless, and a vase of flowers is guaranteed to cheer any home up wherever you put them.
Flower wreaths
If you want your flower arrangement to be a bit more festive, then a wreath is a great option. Order a wreath flower delivery and hang it on your door for the traditional display. It is the perfect greeting for guests, but it is sure to cheer you up too when you arrive home to a beautiful wreath of flowers. Or you could even hand a few inside the house. These days, smaller wreaths displayed across the home is very on-trend, and it is a great way to bring the festive cheer inside.
Flower garlands
Another great option for displaying winter flowers in your home is to have a garland of flowers delivered. Back in the days these were more commonly requested at flower shops for parties and events. But nowadays, flower garlands are becoming super popular in the home too. And it is easy to see why; they are a truly striking arrangement, not to mention an eco-friendly Christmas decoration. There are options if you want to create them yourself, but you might want a local florist’s help with this one.
Single stems
So far we have talked a lot about Christmas flowers and festive displays. But we realise that not everyone will or wants to celebrate Christmas, so what can you do if you don’t want a youtube display but still want to brighten your home with flowers? Well, just because it’s winter, doesn’t mean you have to stick with winter themes. Why not choose an elegant and classic single stem to display in your home. A single rose, daffodil, or sunflower can quickly and easily brighten up a home, when placed in a strategic spot such as a windowsill or mantlepiece. They also tend to be cheaper than bigger displays, so it is a great option for those on a budget too.
Big bouquets
On the opposite end of the spectrum from a single stem, you could go all out and order yourself a big, bold, summery bouquet full of bright colours and decidedly un-wintery blooms. This is a great option if you want to forget about the doldrums of winter and keep the summer alive in your own way. The great thing about this is that big, exotic bouquets are so easy to get your hands on, you can find options at the supermarket, although for the best and longest lasting bouquet, it is definitely worth checking out your local flower delivery service.
