Make Your Space Bloom

Whether your style is traditional, modern, farmhouse or whimsical; there are floral accessories out there to suit your tastes. Florals are a great way to incorporate color, texture and design to liven up any space! Floral prints can adorn functional household items such as tableware or furniture. Floral arrangements can hang on the wall purely as decoration, or they can sit atop your tables and shelves and fill your home with fresh garden scents. The possibilities are endless! In black and white, florals can add visual interest and depth with their flowing lines and overlapping patterns. In color, they can add brightness and texture to any room.

Flowers have consistently been used to decorate, throughout human history. The ancient Romans held an annual Rosalia, a Festival with roses and violets. The lotus flower or water lily, was sacred to the ancient Egyptians. Flowers were found in Europe throughout the Byzantine, Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and Baroque periods. Grand palaces, humble cottages, and everything in between were decorated with floral wreaths or arrangements. Flowers were often displayed on pottery, painted on tables, in drawings, paintings and many other household items, much as they are in homes today.

Through the ages, flowers have been associated with memorable events such as weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and sweet childhood memories. People tend to associate them with special moments in life. Flowers can uplift a person’s mood with sweet smells and a vast array of different colors. Some flowers have come to carry specific meanings culturally. White flowers are often displayed at funerals, red flowers may symbolize love, yellow and orange can signify joy, and blue flowers are often used for freedom.

Floral décor is a good way to bring freshness or soften a space. Real or artificial flowers, floral wall hangings, flower patterned paintings and prints, are all popular in today’s designs. There are vintage pieces breathing new life and modern pieces with a twist on the traditional. If you are looking for a floral piece to add some life into a space, there are many beautiful items available at local shops here in Mid-Missouri.
