If we're ever lucky enough to be bought a bouquet of flowers, or indulgent enough to splash out on ourselves, then you could almost guarantee that those flowers will already have a designated spot in the house before they even get home. The hallway, the dining table, by the living room window - all of them places where visitors are most likely to see them; when we display flowers, it is to share an emotion, to be proud and indulgent. Flowers are known to lift our moods, to bring about a sense of warmth and joy. But when it comes to selecting a proper place, there is one ideal location that often gets overlooked…
Whether it's for a quick visit or an extended stay, the bathroom is one place in the house that people give little thought to and in rooms that can go from cold and sterile to warm and steamy, placing fresh flowers in here would probably be a mistake. But there is one solution to brighten up the bathroom that comes with added bonuses: Silk Flowers.
Artificial flowers have certainly moved with the times; intricate detailing in artistic arrangements can feel more like a work of art or a sculpture than an ordinary bunch of flowers, but the silk flower varieties also keep their vulnerable, delicate and aesthetic qualities whereas the real deal are much more transient. Bespoke designs permit personal choice in colour and stem, not just allowing for the designs to be that little bit more personal and compliment the bathroom interior to exact specification; but unlike real flowers, the silk varieties are always in season, and therefore offer a wider range in exotic blooms.
The practical qualities of silk flowers extend to the longevity of the display as real flowers would certainly wilt in an environment with fluctuating temperatures, lack of natural light and exposure to various household aerosols and sprays – silk bouquets naturally have a much stronger resistance and longevity resulting in long-term lower costs, and the upkeep can be limited to the occasional rearrangement to refresh to the look, or a simple update by adding different varieties.
The size of the arrangement can be determined by the size of the bathroom. For the smaller room a simpler, subtle arrangement is likely to suit best; from wall-mounted designs to more intimate decorations or larger, more extravagant silk bouquets for roomier bathroom suites.
Allow the choice of flower and design of the arrangement to say something about you. Their beauty has the unique ability to bring cheer and make people feel welcome, and as a sign of affluence, placing flowers in the bathroom brings about a cheeky sense of wealth to the one room in the house that can easily get overlooked or swamped by toiletries that make it look too sterile. Divert the attention of your guests' eyes to a more natural and elegant decoration whilst giving them a subconscious boost of happiness.
For many, the bathroom is a place of calm and quiet, a place to think and unwind whilst having a hot bath perhaps. Extensive research into the effects of flowers has concluded that they can increase innovative thinking and assist in helping to generate ideas; and what better excuse to sit back and relax and wait for inspiration to be absorbed? You don't have to be an expert in silk flowers to appreciate them, but for the house-proud person wanting to add a special splash of colour without a clue as to where to start, then Silk Bouquets can offer the expertise to help guide you to the look you're after, and help achieve a whole new look for that long-forgotten room.
