Flowers are an important addition to a room as they create elegance and individuality. They express a person's uniqueness and yet are general enough to decorate a room that will be used by many visitors. The design of a room's flowers can be such that they enhance any theme that a room is to be decorated in. A hotel room is the type of room which is used by many different people and yet each guest should be made to feel like the room is theirs for the length of their stay so every effort should be made to make a hotel room feel airy and hospitable. If the room is in constant use with quick change over time between guests, it is in danger of becoming run down but flowers are a good way of keeping the room fresh.

Silk Flowers
Silk flowers are a very good choice for a hotel suite and offer many advantages over fresh flowers. It is important to consider that guests may have allergies to fresh flowers and, therefore, non-allergenic silk flowers would be a perfect choice. Fresh flowers also require regular changing otherwise they begin to loose their fresh appeal. This is not the case for silk flowers which, as they do not need to be changed, reduce the time required for the room's upkeep. There is also no risk of silk flowers starting to look like they are dying. Silk arrangements can be kept much longer so they also reduce the cost of the flowers per room. As silk flowers don't have to be in season, the range of flowers that can be chosen from increases.

Type of Arrangements
There are a number of different flower arrangements that can be used for decorating a hotel room. Above all, the room should be made to feel welcoming but there should also be thought put into the style of the room. Themes can be chosen which will dictate the colour or the type of the flower. The overall ambience that is to be created in the room should also be considered and flowers can help to give the room a specific look such as sleek and modern, pretty or luxurious. It is important to picture the design of the room and to choose flowers that express the theme that is trying to be achieved. The flower arrangements chosen can either be pre-arranged or, if a specific design is required, more personal designs can be put together. The following types of flower arrangement are an example of those that could be used in a hotel room:
  • Flowers in a vase: Placing flowers in a vase is a common and effective way of displaying an arrangement. The range of vases and flower types that can be chosen from is large so this is a versatile way of achieving any look. Vases can be ornate or minimalist, as can the flower arrangements. Flowers placed in a bowl are an alternative to the traditional vase.
  • Potted Plants: Potted plants are another option for decorating a room. The plants can either be flowering or not depending on the style of the room. Terracotta pots are associated with a Mediterranean style. Whilst non flowering plants offer an extra level of interest to any room.
  • Wall hangings: It is also possible to buy arrangements to hang on the wall. These are often loose sheaf type designs with added decoration such as ribbons and feathers.
In Conclusion
Flowers can be a key part of a hotel room making it feel welcoming. They show that thought and care have gone into styling the room and can be tailored to be a good match to any style or colour theme. Silk flowers are more advantageous in a hotel room than fresh flowers as they are longer lasting and non-allergenic.
