Simple Pleasures: Flowers


flowers

I previously mentioned that I buy myself flowers on a weekly basis because it makes me happy. I’ve decided to start a new series titled Simple Pleasures to bring ideas and inspiration for simple ways to make you happy. Why not start with my personal favorite?

Not only do flowers bring outdoors into your living area, but they can also add a lovely pop up color to a room. I think when most of us see flowers they instantly brighten your mood, wether you’re conscious of it or not. So bring in a little happiness!

To gather your flowers:

  • Buy real flowers and enjoy the scent that comes with them.
  • Buy fake flowers that still bring beauty into a room for a more cost-effective option that lasts forever.
  • Buy silk flowers, such as these, if you really want an investment.
  • Who says you need to be fancy? Pluck flowers outdoors and bring them in!

So get creative — you can place flowers anywhere. It’s an easy way to put a smile on your face.

Do you decorate using flowers? If not, would you consider giving it a try?

    I love flowers but fresh ones are expensive, and potentially dangerous to my cats :( I always found fake flowers to look too fake, but silk ones seem like the perfect alternative for me! I might consider buying my own silk flowers and making my own arrangements. Thanks so much for this post and I look forward to reading more from your series!

    Thank you for the link to AC HOME DESIGNS! The affordability of my arrangements is exactly the reason I started making these arrangements; everyone wants pretty flowers in their home and for those who can’t afford a weekly shop to the florist, then mine are here to last : )
