What Flowers Say At Home

Having fresh flowers at home can immediately set the mood, add meaning, and bring a touch of personal expression into your space. Flowers have a quietly powerful way of shaping the tone of your week, whether through simply filling up a vase with a handful of stems, or creating your own bouquet to explore or express your creativity. It’s a slight additional expense that you can add into your grocery list, but is worthy of the beauty and energy that they bring home. They can be easily bought in a supermarket or local florist, and here are the five types of beautiful blooms typically available, for those considering:

Roses
Roses aren’t just for romantic gestures and Valentine’s Day. They’re available all year round in most supermarkets and flower shops, and in a wide range of colours. Bringing roses into your home adds a soft, romantic touch into your space and elevate the energy of love; perfect for a dining table or bedside arrangement.

Carnations

Budget-friendly and long lasting, carnations are an underrated choice to bring home. Their ruffled petals, range of vibrant or soft hues, give texture to any arrangement, or elegantly stand out on their own. Even in small quantities, they can bring a gentle, loving presence to your space, much like roses do.

Orchids

Elegant and exotic, orchids are slightly different in how special they are. Unlike cut flowers, they’re often sold as potted plants, and with a bit of care, can last for a few months. Orchids represent luxury, strength, and beauty; often ideal for representing new beginnings.

Hydrangeas

To have a more bold, voluminous, and lush arrangement at home, go for hydrangeas. They typically can be found in calm blues, lilac, soft pinks, and pure whites, and symbolise gratitude and abundance. When expecting guests over, hydrangeas may be a suitable choice in an entry way or a central visible point in the living room.

Peonies

Not a typical find in your supermarket as they are only in bloom twice a year, peonies are the way to go when you get the chance to buy them. They’re the crown jewel of seasonal flowers, exuding soft, fragrant, and elegant features. Peonies have historically been known to represent prosperity, happy relationships, and making them a luxurious treat when they are available.

Between keeping it simple or going all out, fresh flowers will breath more life into your home. Beyond their beauty, they bring a subtle boost of positive energy to any space you spend time in.
