How to Decorate your Home with Flowers in Spring

Choose the Right Species: it’s always of great importance to choose seasonal flowers to make a good arrangement. In spring there are options for all tastes, but only certain flowers are more indicated to compose ornaments due to their characteristics.
With this in mind, some suitable flowers for this season are: azaleas, orchids, chrysanthemums, gerberas, sunflowers, jasmine, lilies, tulips, violets, roses, hyacinths and hydrangeas.

Choose the Ideal Place: it’s also important to remember that each flower has to be within the colour palette of the intended room, to harmonise the environment.

Choose the Style: after choosing the types of flowers to use, you can choose from three paths:

• Monogamous Scheme: use of flowers of a single colour or variation of the same tone (for simple and classic arrangements).
• Analogous Scheme: use of similar colours, creating a colour scale effect.
• Complementary Scheme: use of opposite colours in the chromatic circle. The effect of this harmonisation is vibrant and combinations should be made between light and dark colours.

Choose the Vase: to compose the decoration, the use of vases or jars is the most appropriate.
Different types of arrangements require different types of vases. To match each type of flower to its container, remember that flowers with long stems require taller vases and flowers with short and voluminous stems look better in low, wide vases.
For smaller flowers: small and medium-sized vases are ideal. Flowerpots with a capacity of 1 to 6 liters are sufficient to store flowers such as pansies, azaleas, chrysanthemums, jasmine, violets and hyacinths.

For larger flowers: in the case of large flowers, vases with good soil capacity are best for storing flowers such as orchids, gerberas, sunflowers, lilies, tulips, roses and hydrangeas.

After the appropriate choice is made, simply opt for the vase that will best reflect your decorating style. To do this, take a look here at IOC's wide selection of vases and jars that will complement your springtime arrangements.
