Flowers are natural enchanters with their striking colour pallet, soothing fragrances, and vibrant appearance. They add an instant glow and warmth to any indoor space they are added to. Conventionally floral bouquets were placed in beautiful vases at the highlighted places in the home for creating a welcoming vibe. However, your creativity breaks the norm by crafting some more uses of flowers in your home. Let’s explore in this blog post how you can use fresh-cut flowers in various forms to infuse your beloved home with natural charms.

Non-conventional Use of Flowers in Homes
I am a great admirer of nature. Hence, getting flowers from bemyflower.co.uk sparks a sense of joy in my heart. However, I am always looking for ideas beyond the vase to make my flowers last longer in my home. Here are my ways of using flowers in various corners of my home to elevate their architectural beauty.
- Out of the Vase Floral Arrangements
Using traditional vases or flower pots is a versatile option for adding an embellishing feature to your home whether it is the coffee table in the living room or your bedside. However, I love to give a personalised touch to these arrangements by swapping the vases for wicker baskets or DIYing the leftover jars or containers from my kitchen by repainting or decorating them. You can also customise your DIY vases and create some unique centrepieces for your home.
- Pressed Flowers for Wall Arts
The floral paintings that you see on the walls in the home are mostly DIY ones. It may be surprising for you to know that you do not need any fancy equipment to create the pressed flower art. The simplest items like a heavy book and a brick are enough to get your pressed flowers. Assemble those flowers on a canvas of your required size and get them framed to hang around in your home. Add more uniqueness by experimenting with various colour combinations and getting a vintage frame.
- Create Terrariums for a Miniature Garden
Terrariums are created for ornamental purposes. You can create one for your home too by adding soil to a clean glass container. Add fresh botanicals including some fresh flowers, mosses, and foliage to create a miniature garden. Terrariums are not only low maintenance but also add an instant natural touch to elevate your home’s interior.
- Dried Flower Wreaths
There would hardly be someone out there who has not bought a Christmas wreath for the front door as a welcoming gesture to the festive season. This simple item can be a part of your home around the year. Create your dried flower wreath using the flowers in warm colour tones that compliment your home and let it hang around for an embellishing and welcoming texture to your home.
- DIY Flower Soaps
Flowers are a great way to add life to the simplest items in your home. So, why not elevate something staple in your life like a bath soap by DIYing it using dried flower petals? Melt the soap base, add essential oils to enhance fragrance, mix dried petals, and pour the mixture into the mould to give soaps in unique shapes. Mixing some natural colours will also be a great addition to this DIY project.
- Flower Petal Bath
Going to the spa is the best time to spend on self-care. However, making time for it is the biggest hurdle. You can also get a spa-like experience at your home by adding fresh flower petals to your bathtub. Use a flower-based bath bomb to enhance it further. Flower petals not only add a touch of luxury but also give a soothing effect when their smell is infused in clean water.
The Verdict
To sum up the discussion, we can say that flowers are an instant and functional way to home elevation with their remarkable natural beauty, vibrant hues, and calming natural fragrance. The above ideas are the simplest way to initiate your DIY projects using fresh or dried flowers to make long-lasting decorations for your home.
