Recently, more and more often you can see a variety of compositions of artificial flowers for the interior. We will try to find out by what criteria they need to be selected, what to pay special attention to in order to get the desired result.
Selection rules
In order for the interior of the apartment to acquire individuality and additional charm, you can choose original compositions from artificial flowers. For example, with the help of velvety roses, delicate lilies, amazing orchids, you can decorate the interior of an apartment.
In order to avoid unpleasant consequences after the completion of design work, it is necessary to select unrumpled lush flowers into the interior, not to acquire twigs with shabby petals, check the presence of buds, leaves, and also make sure the strength of the selected compositions.
Corridor decoration
Compositions of artificial orchids or roses are quite appropriate here. Real fresh flowers are not suitable for the interior of the corridor, because they will wither due to insufficient sunlight.
Advice! When choosing artificial flowers for the corridor, interior experts suggest opting for tall flowers that can be placed in a floor vase, or small twigs that will serve as a decoration for a mirror.
Flowers for a modern kitchen
Given the specifics of this room, stylists suggest placing vases with decorative peaches, oranges, and apples in the kitchen. Over a working apron, bundles of artificial garlic, peppers, and onions would be quite appropriate. Vases and pots with decorative roses or orchids are suitable for decorating a kitchen window.
Living room decorated with artificial compositions
This room is the hallmark of a house or apartment, so it is important to be especially careful when choosing artificial flowers for decorating this room. For original ideas, rules for choosing artificial flowers, as well as a photo and video review of finished interiors, look for the link
If you plan to design a living room in a country house, in the center of which a real wood-burning fireplace is installed, it can be decorated with the help of original artificial flowers.
For example, next to a soft sofa, you can install a ficus bush, or put a palm tree. The decoration of the coffee table will be a small vase with decorative fruits.
Bedroom decoration
In this room, artificial compositions should preferably be used with extreme caution.
Attention! Do not forget that flowers can attract dust, so instead of an artificial composition, it is better to choose a small bouquet of original dried flowers for the bedroom.
But for a balcony or loggia, professionals consider artificial flowers an ideal option for creating a harmonious home environment. Due to temperature changes, changes in air humidity, it is difficult to pick up fresh flowers that will delight their owners on a balcony or loggia window, and here original compositions of artificial flowers come to the rescue.
Specific care of artificial compositions
You do not need to have special knowledge in order to fully care for artificial flower arrangements created in a residential interior. You can limit yourself to wiping them with a damp cloth several times a month.
Professionals do not give specific advice on choosing the type of artificial flowers, but remind them of their obvious advantages: long service life, low cost, excellent assortment, simplicity and ease of maintenance, preserving their original appearance throughout the entire service life.
People are created to live in complete harmony with wildlife, they strive to surround themselves with beautiful objects, flowers, to make the interior of their house or apartment as cozy and comfortable as possible. Fresh flowers are an ideal material for decoration, but they quickly lose their beautiful appearance, and then completely fade. In order to cope with this problem, interior experts advise choosing artificial flower compositions for decorating residential premises.
The creators of modern synthetic and polymeric materials use innovative technologies in production, so there is no need to fear for the quality and safety of those materials that are chosen to create single and spray roses, orchids, tulips, lilies.
Excellent decorative bouquets can be selected from latex, plastic, synthetic and natural fabrics. Zealous housewives try to create unusual flower arrangements with their own hands, arm themselves with beads, glass beads, braid, and realize their creative imagination.
Silicone flowers outwardly practically do not differ from living counterparts. This material accurately conveys the smallest details of the flower, has a long service life, is easy to maintain, and is not afraid of direct sunlight on the finished product.
Among the main disadvantages that can be distinguished from silicone flowers, we note their high cost. The reason is that flower arrangements are created by hand, which significantly increases the final cost of the product.
Fabric imitations of natural flowers began to be used in China, and are currently being used by interior designers to decorate living spaces in different parts of our planet.
For modern interiors, compositions are created in which satin, silk, cambric, crepe de chine are used as material for flowers.
Flowers made of modern plastic also look elegant and original. Buyers are attracted not only by their aesthetic appearance, but also by their low price and ease of maintenance.
Conclusion
Artificial compositions can increasingly be seen in the works of experienced interior specialists. They are convinced that it is artificial flower arrangements made from safe and high-quality materials that are an excellent decorative element for urban and country interiors.

The goal is to create a special atmosphere for certain events or holidays. If you want to try yourself in such creativity, then learn more about it from the information below.
What is floristry
Floristry is the art of arranging bouquets. This is one of the types of design, the result of which are flower bouquets, panels or collages. Such work has both a technical and a creative side. The purpose of floristics is the design of any holiday or event, the expression of their theme or idea through natural compositions of flowers and leaves. Novice designers in this area should pay attention to simple collages or bouquets. As a result, such a hobby can become a real profession. Where to start - learn the basics of floristry for beginners.
Making bouquets
In this creative and exciting activity for beginners, there are a number of simple but important rules. First of all, you need to decide for whom the bouquet is for a man or a woman. The occasion for which such a gift is presented is also important. According to these criteria, they choose the type of plants, their number, color and size. Before making a bouquet, beginners are advised to mentally imagine it in a ready-made form.
Floral compositions
When compiling floristic compositions from roses, lilies, carnations or any other flowers, the main thing for beginners is the observance of proportions. This applies to the proportionality of the vessel and plants, buds, vase and leaves. In general, the composition should be harmonious. The golden ratio in floristry also works. It is as follows:
- If the bouquet is located vertically, then 5 of the 8 parts should fall on it, and the remaining 3 on the vase.
- When the composition is more elongated in the horizontal direction, i.e. the plants are in a low vase, the shortest branches are 3 parts, and the longest are 5. Or in other words, a long flower is 1.5 times the diameter of the pot.
Making bouquets of fresh flowers
There are different types of bouquets. The main classification is female and male. In addition, there is a division according to the purpose of the bouquet:
- wedding;
- children's;
- mourning;
- daily;
- holiday.
Decorating fresh flower bouquets for beginners can be tricky, so only one type of plant is recommended. This makes it easier to deal with the shades, shape and type of bouquets. The main type is massive - there is no space between the elements, and the plants are presented in an amount of no more than 2-3 varieties. In addition to them, there are the following bouquets:
- round;
- buttonholes;
- free;
- unilateral;
- flower jewelry.
Bouquets may vary in size. The big ones are for birthday parties and the small ones for weddings. In general, the technology for compiling for beginners looks like this:
- determining the shape of the bouquet - the number of plants, their compatibility;
- cut of plants;
- assembly of elements into a bouquet, decoration;
- placement in a vase with water.
The combination of flowers in a bouquet

Warm shades will enliven the bouquet, and cold ones will make it more restrained. The first include orange, red and yellow, and the second - blue, green, purple. With the help of a warm range, you can visually bring the elements closer. Cold shades, on the contrary, push the details away.
Making bouquets of fresh flowers

Packing fresh flower bouquets for beginners has a number of features. The main condition is to arrange bouquets depending on the destination:
- New Year's - figurines of birds, greens, sweets;
- for the birth of a child - hearts, bears, small toys;

Today's article is devoted to interesting and unusual ideas. artificial flower arrangements. Otherwise, we may have already learned how to make flowers for decor from various materials, but unfortunately, there is not enough imagination to put it all into an attractive art object. Let's take a look at the most popular approaches to the design of such a decorative element as a bouquet today.
Arrangement of artificial flowers
If you are doing the central composition of artificial flowers, which is erected in the center of the room, most often the living room, and attracts the most attention, then a great idea is a small work in which large inflorescences are connected. In this case, nothing distracts from the beauty of the plants themselves, from the combination of shades. In the photo below you can see what the described interior flowers look like.
Of interest are both monofloral decor, in which plants of one type and one shade are usually used as the main component, as well as works of different textures. You have an example compositions of artificial flowers, photo which demonstrates what this principle of building a bouquet looks like. Cream roses in combination with delicate daylilies are made according to the principle of common shades, in soft colors. Whereas the combination of peonies with hydrangeas, roses and chrysanthemums is completely built on the principle of contrast, when one shade emphasizes and sets off the beauty of another.
If absolutely conservative in terms of form and content are suitable for a classic interior artificial flower arrangements, then for a modern interior, a bouquet can become another characteristic decorative element that emphasizes the original taste of its owners and their desire to comply with fashion trends. A combination of glass containers, vases, flasks, spheres with bright accents is very popular today. In the photo you can just see an example of these flower arrangements. It is here, as nowhere else, that the use of imitation is justified, because the shape of these vases is sometimes so unusual that living plants would not have a chance to survive in it for a long time, while maintaining an attractive appearance.
In addition, the popularity of environmental motifs in modern design does not go away, and it is in it that non-natural plants are of the greatest relevance. They connect in unusual DIY artificial flower arrangements along with tree cuts, roots, vines, grass. Moreover, such compositions of artificial flowers, as you see in the photo, are quite simple to make with your own hands, having already the necessary components, such as purchased plastic or fabric plants, grass, leaves, as well as branches brought from a forest or park, roots, even dried hay and grass. The easiest way is to pick up a wide vase or salad bowl, opaque, lay the material on the bottom like a floral sponge, that is, one in which all the elements will be securely fixed. First, you need to arrange wooden bars at certain intervals, and then fill the free space with bright accents.
Compositions of artificial flowers for the interior
Unusual compositions of artificial flowers for the interior- this is today a very popular way to bring bright accents in the modern design of an apartment. We want to show you two great ideas on how to look at such crafts in a new way. The first idea is to place the bouquet not in a vase, on a horizontal surface, but directly on the wall.
It is the idea of vertical placement that unites flower arrangements of artificial flowers for the interior, images of which are posted above. In fact, attaching such elements to the wall is not so difficult if it is painted or pasted over with good quality wallpaper that will survive the addition of a decorative element without affecting the appearance. The main thing is that the bouquets should not have a lot of weight, be bright and have an unusual shape. Very often in numerous tips for this kind of crafts there are variations of the flower envelope, which we show you in the photo. It is made monolithically, that is, the stems are glued to the inside of paper or cardboard, so that changing the arrangement of the elements will not work. However, the work itself is so simple that you can change it from season to season.
Vertically placed artificial flowers in the interior are not only hung on the wall, because bouquets hanging from the ceiling are both avant-garde and stylish. This fashion trend originated from wedding and banquet halls and has taken root so well that it is used to decorate an apartment on an ongoing basis. You can buy compositions of artificial flowers for the interior ready-made or made based on other techniques (for example, flower balls on ribbons are inspired by topiaries, and others are fashionable geometric volumetric shapes).
We hope that today's examples have shown you that whatever the options compositions of artificial flowers - in a vase, as part of crafts, in avant-garde combinations - this is a great opportunity to decorate your home and make it even more individual.
Of particular popularity is the use of a variety of plants to decorate the interior of a house or garden, but people do not always have the opportunity to grow something. In this case, artificial analogues of natural flowers are the best fit. A variety of materials are used to create artificial plants: paper, leather, wax, fabric, porcelain, metal, beads.
All manufacturing methods are reduced to the process of preparing special “patterns” of individual flower elements, with the help of which the necessary parts are later cut out of the desired material. Further, the blanks are processed with special tools, painted and fixed on the central part of the flower using techniques appropriate to the material. The effect of a natural plant is achieved due to the skill and professionalism of the master producing the finish. An interesting fact is that the desire for absolute symmetry usually leads to the effect of unnaturalness in finished colors, which is explained by its almost complete absence in nature.
Benefits of decorative artificial flowers
Floral arrangements can perfectly decorate not only a house or apartment, but also serve as a spectacular design for organizations, cafes and restaurants. They will give the room a particularly festive and elegant look. Despite the fact that decorative compositions made of artificial flowers do not look so natural and do not exude a delicate aroma, they have a number of advantages over their natural counterparts:
- the opportunity to admire the view of flowers without high material costs;
- high quality of modern production makes artificial plants practically indistinguishable from natural counterparts;
- artificial plants do not fade, so they can please the eye for a long time;
- do not require the care necessary for fresh flowers: watering, fertilizing, transplanting;
- artificial flowers are convenient to use for dimly lit rooms, as they do not depend on the presence of sunlight.
Types of decorative compositions from artificial flowers
Beautiful in themselves decorative artificial flowers and plants will look especially attractive in the form of specially selected compositions. Having thought over the best ways to combine colors and textures, you can get an original decoration that harmoniously fits into any interior. The following types of flower arrangements are currently the most common:
- Bouquets of artificial flowers. They are flowers collected, according to the rules of floristry, differing in color and shape. The bouquet can be used as a decorative element permanently or in preparation for a solemn event. To decorate your home with a beautiful bouquet of artificial flowers, you do not have to go to a highly paid florist. Self-compilation of such a bouquet does not require special skills. To create it with your own hands, it is enough to stock up on wire cutters, as well as special floristic wire and foam fixing flowers. Then it remains to decide on the flowers that will be placed in the center and along the edges of the composition, and pick up decorative elements to decorate the resulting bouquet.
- Plants in pots. It is also not difficult to make a pot with a unique flower arrangement yourself. First of all, you need to prepare a base for attaching the stems of artificial flowers inside the pot. The material for the base can be polystyrene, foam rubber or a floral sponge. Thick stems are conveniently fixed on a cardboard or plastic circle with cut holes. Having placed the selected flowers in a pot, you can add artificial green branches to the bouquet, which will enhance the effect of naturalness. Imitating indoor flowers, such artificial plants outwardly practically do not differ from real ones. Beautiful pots will not require time and attention of their owners and will create a feeling of comfort and coziness in the house.
- Hanging basket with flowers . In addition to the decorating function, such a basket can play the role of a candlestick or a lamp. From a design point of view, the use of hanging baskets in small spaces is undesirable. Best of all, flower bouquets in a basket look on empty walls, filling the space and decorating them. A hanging basket can accommodate both a classic floral bouquet and a more modern composition. A simpler, but no less interesting option is to use an artificial climbing plant, such as ivy, in the basket. It will perfectly fit into the interior of any room in the house.
- Planters with flowers . Floor wide vases are used most often in spacious rooms and halls, trade and exhibition pavilions. The stable vessels on the floor provide an ideal opportunity to set up an indoor or conservatory garden.
- Flower figures. Usually these are figures of animals or fairy-tale characters that can serve as an unusual and very original gift for your loved ones.
- Compositions for the garden . The best option for decorating a garden is a combination of natural and artificial plants and trees. As a decorating element, you can use low fences and arches entwined with hanging vines. An artificial pond will look beautiful and unusual with artificial water lilies floating on its surface.
Decorative compositions of artificial flowers in the interior of the house
Artificial flowers are selected for a particular room, depending on its features and functions. For example, in a living room, a floral composition should serve as the focal point of the interior, linking all the objects present in the room. At the same time, it will be both beautiful and practical to place floor vases with flowers in front of heating radiators.
In the children's room, all flower arrangements, of course, should be hung or placed on high shelves. Delicate flowers such as narcissus, tulip, sakura branch are ideal for a girl's bedroom. They can be placed on a dressing table or windowsill. The matrimonial bedroom will be beautifully decorated with bouquets of roses, lilies or orchids.
In the kitchen, it would be appropriate to place potted compositions in warm colors. Various utensils can serve as vessels - teapots, kettles, jugs. And finally, the bathroom, with its high humidity, is the best suited for decorating with artificial flowers. With the help of ampelous and weaving plants, you can hide and decorate pipes, arrange a mirror and shelves for toiletries.
Ornamental plants, both natural and artificial, bring a lot of positive emotions into our lives. Their presence in the house fills it with an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. The beauty of flowers helps us get rid of the negativity of everyday problems, become better, see how beautiful the world around us is.
