Compositions of indoor flowers

In premises for various purposes

When decorating your house or apartment, think carefully about which houseplants are suitable, for example, for the living room, bedroom, kitchen, hallway.

Before embodying your ideas, find out if a particular room is suitable for a particular flower in terms of the presence of light, humidity, air and other criteria. Learn how to care for a plant so that you can save yourself from unnecessary troubles and worries later. Unfortunately, not everyone has flowers. If your style is minimalist, ficus is for you. An unpretentious plant will brighten your living room and supply it with oxygen. Other plants with thicker stems will look good too.

Classic houseplants include monstera and saintpaulia.

You shouldn't have a blooming garden in the bedroom. It is enough to accommodate species such as aloe and Kalanchoe. They will create a wonderful microclimate. If the size of the bedroom is small, and there is no room for floor plants, you can place small pots on the bedside tables, dressing table, windowsill. Leave lilies and ferns for other rooms. Their ability to absorb oxygen at night and emit carbon dioxide will not do you any good.

Almost all housewives love to decorate the kitchen, and rightly so. After all, the whole family gathers here for lunch or evening tea. Therefore, it should be nice and cozy here.

Choose plants wisely, and decorate the kitchen correctly so that green spaces do not interfere with you, but at the same time create a mood.

Heat-loving plants will take root here. If you plan to place some of them on the windowsill, then choose those that need light.

The stove and sink are not the places where flowers will be comfortable.

Strongly variegated and lush vegetation is best avoided, as are flowers that have a strong scent. Here you can experiment, try the style that is closer to you: minimalism, modern, oriental luxury.

Usually bouquets of fresh flowers look great in the kitchen. Sunflowers, poppies, tulips. Choose what is closer to you. Compositions of dried flowers will also be appropriate. You can use wall garlands and ikebana.

You can create coziness and harmony even in the bathroom. And delicate ivory orchids will help with this.

Another place where flowers are quite appropriate is the hallway. Nothing limits you in your choice, if there is enough light in the hall. But most often this is not the case, so it is better to place shade-loving specimens here. It can be fatsia, peperomia, arrowroot, dracaena, sansevier.

Actual floristry in the home interior

Decorating the interior with compositions of fresh flowers awakens imagination and allows you to become a professional florist for a short time.

In various rooms, with the help of plants, it is possible to beat not only space, but also functionality, however, when creating a floristic decor, it is important to take into account the nature of floristry

Living room

A spacious room has a lot to decorate with flowers, according to St. Petersburg florists. For example, a small bouquet on a coffee table, or a tall arrangement of fresh flowers against the wall. For modern interiors, exotic flowers such as sterlites are perfect, as well as hardy plants such as palms that, with proper care, will delight you for several weeks.

Bedroom

The most important thing for floristry in the interior of the bedroom is the smell.

It is important that the flowers smell pleasantly or have no smell at all, then the sleep of the inhabitants will not be disturbed. Roses, lavender, tulips will look most harmonious in the bedroom.

From potted plants, St. Petersburg florists advise Kalanchoe, begonia and aloe.

Kitchen

Today the kitchen is an ergonomic multifunctional design, therefore flowers are used for decoration, which will serve as a contrast to the overall design. For example, light plants are perfect for a dark kitchen, and bold colors will perfectly fit into a bright design: red, purple, orange. To decorate the interior of the kitchen, St. Petersburg florists often use orchids, calla lilies, sunflowers, roses, green branches and other plants.

Hallway

Freshly cut branches can be used as a decoration. They will visually increase the height of the room, give it graphicality and freshness. Often the hallway is decorated with lilac, birch, willow. In autumn, you can collect a bouquet with bright foliage, and in winter, put fragrant needles.

Canteen

As a table decoration, you can choose a composition of fresh flowers in a low and wide vase. Florists of St. Petersburg advise to choose low flowers and plants so that they do not block the view, and guests can see each other. Chrysanthemums, roses, bush carnations, tulips, hyacinths, daffodils will perfectly fit into the interior.

Important - when making bouquets, be sure to cut the long stems

 

What can you use?

An ordinary human fantasy can answer this question. You can use absolutely everything to create containers for home plants, from cement to ordinary food cans. You can make decor from paper, eggshells, walnut skins. Buttons, sequins, paint and even old fabric will come to the rescue. Here it is really enough to turn on the imagination and give it free rein, and she will definitely tell you what can be done from the existing house "garbage" or the remains of art and repair materials.

Of course, if you use the same mayonnaise buckets or other similar containers as pots, then first it is important to prepare it, namely, remove all labels from it, wash the glue, and remember to make drainage holes. Beautiful capsho from a plastic bottle

Old things can also be used as pots. This includes dishes, shoes, grandma's kettle, and even furniture. It's just that the main thing is to properly prepare objects so that they do not collapse and lose their appearance under the influence of liquid and soil.

Sometimes it is enough just to decorate an old pot that has lost its appearance. You can not do everything from scratch, but only decorate it with something. Acrylic paints, twine, natural varnished material, beads, etc. can be used.

Material selection tips

Modern factories offer the following materials for making flowers:

  • Textile;
  • Latex coated fabric;
  • Foamed polyurethane;
  • Latex.

Fabric products are the most common, their price is quite reasonable and affordable for everyone. Outwardly, they can have a high similarity with their living counterparts, but they are still significantly inferior in this indicator to non-woven polymer competitors.

Products made of latex and polyurethane can boast of a high class of realism, they are called "real touch" colors, visually and tactilely imitating natural qualities. They are not afraid of moisture, they can be washed in water, and therefore, only they are suitable for decorating the kitchen and bathroom.

Artificial flower arrangement

If you are making a central composition of artificial flowers, which is placed 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 height, 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.

Interesting as monofloral decor, in which they are usually used as the main component of a plant and one species, and one shade, and multi-textured work. Here's 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 a soft color scheme. 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. The 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 simply not have a chance to survive in it for a long time, while maintaining an attractive appearance.


In addition, the popularity of ecological motives in modern design does not pass, and it is in this design that unnatural plants have the greatest relevance. They combine into unusual DIY artificial flower arrangements together with tree cuts, roots, vines, grass. Moreover, such compositions of artificial flowers, as you can see in the photo, are quite simple to do 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, to 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 place wooden blocks at regular intervals, and then fill the free space with bright accents.

Artificial flower arrangements for the interior

Fancy 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 interior, the 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 attachment of the 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 done in one piece, that is, the stems are glued to the inside of the paper or cardboard, so it will not work to change the arrangement of the elements. 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 emerged from the fashion of decorating wedding and banquet halls and has taken root so well that it is used to decorate an apartment on a permanent basis. You can compositions of artificial flowers for the interior to buy ready-made or made on the basis of other techniques (for example, flower balls on ribbons are inspired by topiary, and others - fashionable geometric volumetric figures).

Hopefully today's examples have shown you that whatever the options artificial flower arrangements - 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.

Plants for the garden in a bottle: how to choose the right one?

For keeping in a glass container, it is better to choose slow-growing plants, otherwise the composition will have to be updated very often. Plants usually slow down their own growth, since the root system simply has nowhere to develop in such a small space. In some cases, it is appropriate to slightly prune the roots during transplanting in order to slow down their growth.

When choosing plants for the florarium, you need to consider how they get along with each other. It is advisable to choose such options in which a certain natural area behind the glass is recreated:

To create a desert with your own hands, all kinds of succulents (cacti, aloe, euphorbia, fat woman, etc.) are suitable. By the way, a florarium with cacti is practically the easiest and most classic option.

What flowers can not be planted in one pot

In this regard, one should not compare photophilous papyrus, yucca, kalanchoe or colored varieties indoor flowers (for example, variegated codiaeum is called croton) with those preferring partial shade ferns, ivy, spathiphyllum or begonias.

Flowers with different humidity requirements in the room should not be combined in one composition. Species that prefer permanently moist soil (for example, spathiphyllum, fern, dwarf ficus, fittonia), should not be planted in the same pot with plants that are sensitive to excess water in the soil (for example, succulents, dracaena, hoya, saintpaulia violet, sansevieria), they will quickly lose their decorative appearance and begin to hurt. Some will suffer from drought (the leaves will dry out and the flowers will become susceptible to pests, for example, a spider mite), others will wither away due to overflow (decay of roots, dying off of plant parts, fungal diseases).

Plants for flower arrangements and their combination

Various plants are used to compose compositions in a pot, among which cacti and succulents are very popular. Read about the varieties of homemade succulents and the rules of caring for them in the article ““. They are sun-loving and easy to care for, they do not need to be quickly replanted. Other plants are more whimsical to care for and need to be transplanted into different pots or containers as they grow.

Of course, you do not need to be limited only to succulent plants to create indoor compositions.Below are indoor flowers with a photo of a plant, suitable for decorating compositions, and features for caring for them.

Decembrist Fat Woman Orchid

Anthurium needs moderate watering 2-3 times a week, indirect sunlight, air temperature 18-23 degrees.

Decembrist should be watered 1-2 times a week. It is optimal for the plant to be in partial shade at an air temperature of 18 to 30 degrees. Crassula or money tree is a sun-loving plant, but direct sunlight should be avoided. In summer, the optimum temperature for a plant is 20-25 degrees, in winter 10-16. Watering the money tree is worth no more than 2 times a week.

Orchids need bright light and temperatures between 20 and 25 degrees. Watering can only be done with warm water from the bottom of the plant and no more than 1 time per week. Orchids need to be hydrated, especially during winter. Dendrobium Nobel and Phalaenopsis are most often planted in compositions.

Hoya Spathiphyllum Violet Scheffler

Curly hoya is divided into two subspecies. Some hoya plants like sunbathing, while others should avoid direct sunlight. Excessive watering for hoya is harmful, the plant is watered as the soil is dry, but at the same time the flower is moistened. As for the temperature, the optimum will be 17-25 degrees.

Home care for spathiphyllum is not difficult. The plant loves abundant watering 2-3 times a week, room temperature 22-23 degrees and light partial shade. The most important thing for spathiphyllum is to prevent drafts and soil overflow.

Violet is photophilous, but direct rays should be avoided. The flower does not need over-watering more than 2 times a week, but loves hydration. The optimum temperature is 20-25 degrees.

Schefflera loves spraying and grows well both in a sunny place and in partial shade. The plant needs moderate watering 1-2 times a week and the air temperature is 15-23 degrees. But still, do not expose the sheffler in direct sunlight.

The following examples of compositions from these colors look interesting in combination:

  • Anthurium + Fittonia + Hedera;
  • Crassula (money tree) + cacti + succulents;
  • Spathiphyllum + phytonia + chamedorea + hedera;
  • Hanging gardens of several types of hoya in pots;
  • Violet + orchid (for example, dendrobium nobel) + fittonia;
  • Schefflera + ivy.

The creation of a flower arrangement depends on the imagination of the author, and its complexity depends on the level of professionalism. Professional florists can create floral art even in a small apartment. Not only flower masters, but also novice flower growers are able to create a beautiful and amazing mini-garden with their own hands.

Artificial plants: pros and cons

The principle of decorating a house with artificial flowers has many, both adherents and opponents. But today there is no longer any need to prove that an element of phytodesign should be present in the home interior, and that artificial plant decorations will best of all cope with this role.

Table. Artificial flowers in the house: pros and cons.

The combination of colors in the composition: balance and dynamics

Physical balance is vital - if the composition is noticeably asymmetrical, it can turn over. Structures must always be securely fastened and the container must be heavy enough to support the weight of the plant material. Add sand, gravel, etc. as needed.

The visual balance of color combinations in a composition requires the structure to appear stable, even if it is clearly one-sided. There are various ways to visually increase weight on the lighter side - dark flowers look heavier than light ones, rounded flowers look heavier than tubular ones. There is also a balance of the bottom and top.

Large flowers are placed in the center and close to the bottom of the composition, which gives a sense of good balance - improper placement can make the composition look unbalanced.

Dynamics involves the use of techniques and materials that make the eyes move from one part of the composition to another - this movement is associated with the rhythm present in the design.

Without rhythm (for example, a bouquet of roses in a vase), the arrangement looks static and monotonous. There are various ways to get this kind of movement, and five of them are illustrated on this page.

A different design principle is applied to many linear-massive compositions and arrangements of the free style - domination. This involves the presence of one or more parts on which the eye stops and stays there for a short time - these areas are called focal points. Usually a small group of catchy colors are included for this.

There are other ways to create focal points - fancy container, spectacular foliage, and so on. The golden rule is not to overdo it - no element should dominate enough to distract the eye for a long time from the rest of the composition.

Potted group in a pebble tray

A potted group in a shallow pebble tray is a great way to grow plants that need high humidity in a centrally heated room. If your uzambara violets or orchids do not grow well, try placing them on a pebble tray. The height of the tray should be about 5 cm. If the tray will stand on a windowsill, make sure that it does not protrude too much beyond its limits.

Place 3 cm of pebbles on the bottom of the tray. Group the plants on the surface of this layer.

A good place for the pebble tray is on the radiator shelf under the windowsill. Under these conditions, the humidity around the plants in winter will be three times higher. Watering is easy - water can flow freely from the pots into the tray. The water level should not rise above the pebble surface.

Compositions of flowers in different pots

The easiest way to create a flower arrangement is from plants planted in separate pots. In this case, there is no need to select flowers with similar conditions of detention. Cacti and moisture-loving species can grow nearby, you just need to take into account the level of lighting for each plant.

Flower arrangements in pots of indoor flowers can be different. In spacious rooms, they practice their placement on the same level. And when there is not enough space, they use steps, shelves, hangers. Also, special boxes and flower girls are used for flower arrangements.

Accommodation on one level

This is the best option for spacious and bright rooms. Flowers are in the composition depending on which part of the room it will be in. If the group is located in a corner or near a wall with a view from one side, then the largest plants in large pots are placed in the background, and the smaller ones in the foreground.

T

They provide a good view of each plant, and large and tall specimens will not shade small ones.

Multilevel accommodation

This option is suitable for both spacious rooms and small spaces. Often, when placing a flower arrangement, steps or shelves are used, on which the pots are placed. This allows you to compose a composition of a large number of plants of the same size. Thanks to the tiered placement, you can see each of them.

Also, the plants in the composition can be placed on suspensions. This option is good for groups with upright and ampelous species. Ampel flowers with their dangling shoots are very decorative in pots hanging on the wall. Here they are best seen, they are not obscured by other plants in the composition.

Vertical gardening of the room looks very nice.

To do this, special mounts for pots are created in the wall, in which ampelous species and plants with openwork lush leaves are planted. With the correct vertical gardening, the pots are not visible, the impression of a single green wall is created.

Flower boxes and flower girls

When creating flower arrangements, special flower girls and flower boxes... Flower girls - decoratively decorated flower stands for placing them at different levels.

Usually these designs are small in size to create modest compositions in city apartments, but there are flower girls and impressive sizes.

Flower boxes are also a decorative element. They hide the flower pots well, leaving only lush greenery in sight. The boxes themselves can have a different look, they can be selected for any interior.

Overview of landscaping types

And, of course, indoor plants are a natural decoration element that allows you to create a unique atmosphere in your apartment, filled with harmony.

Flowers in pots in the interior

With the help of flowers, you can decorate any home, you just need to take into account the size of the apartment and choose the right decor. With all the variety of indoor plants, there can be only two ways of placing them.

Vertical

A good way for confined spaces. Flowers can be placed on long stands, high racks, in pots on the walls. There is even such an option when a phytowall is made. But for this you need to create a special structure in which there will be land with plants.

For vertical gardening, you can use stands, shelves and pots made of wood, metal, plastic. It all depends on the general style of the room. For loft or high-tech styles, metal is suitable, for Provence and shabby chic - wood.

Horizontal

The more common landscaping is horizontal. It allows you to place flowers on wide window sills, shelves or just on the floor. These can be whole compositions or single plants, it all depends on their size. With this design, pots of different sizes and colors are used. In some cases, it is better to use pots of the same design in order to adhere to a certain style, even if they are of different sizes. And sometimes it is permissible to use multi-colored pots, it all depends on the interior.

But nothing prevents the use of both types of gardening.For example, there may be large plants on the floor, and small flowers on a wall or high upright. The main thing is that it looks harmonious. It should not be forgotten that this is still an apartment, not a greenhouse, and the flowers in it are only additional decorative elements, but not the main ones.

For modern apartments, vertical landscaping is the ideal solution in terms of perception. Ceiling, as well as wall plant installations not only have an unusual appearance, but also the ability to harmoniously fit into modern interior solutions.

Today, the following types of vertical compositions are distinguished:

  1. Ceiling installations;
  2. Phyto paintings;
  3. Green walls;
  4. Phytomodules;
  5. Suspended and mobile compositions.

The selection of colors for compositions is usually carried out according to one's own tastes and preferences.

If the height of the ceiling allows, then in the room you can organize a vertical flower bed of different types of plants planted in pots

The available range of flowers of indoor plants consists of a large number of shades, ranging from rich emerald green to delicate light green tones.

Advice! Such compositions will become brighter if you use blooming orchids, arrowroot, phytonia and other similar plants.

If desired, the recreation area can be turned into a real botanical garden, the main thing is to observe a sense of proportion

By installing indoor plants on a mobile table, you will receive a mobile living area that, if desired, can be moved to another place

When choosing plants that will be used to create indoor compositions, it is advisable to use not only attractive, but also useful crops. They are not only practical but also pleasing to the eye.

The honeycomb-shaped wall shelf will be a great home for indoor plants of various groups.

Nice, cozy room with a large and bright plant near the wall

If a noisy highway passes near the house, the house has recently been renovated, there is high humidity in the rooms or the rooms are furnished with new products made of wood materials, then so-called filter plants should be used.

Their characteristic feature is the ability to extract chemical compounds, toxins, hazardous vapors, heavy metals, city smog, dust and other unwanted inclusions from the air.

Do-it-yourself terrarium or how to make a florarium in a bank (step-by-step instructions with a photo)

Florariums are easy to do with your own hands according to the following instructions:

  1. Initially, you need to prepare a glass container for the florarium. It is advisable to wash it well and degrease it with alcohol or vodka inside.
  2. It is worth putting activated carbon at the bottom of the container so that it is responsible for absorbing harmful organic substances, keeping the soil fresh and preventing the appearance of mold and mildew. Instead of activated charcoal, you can use ordinary houseplant drainage, but in large quantities, since there are no holes in the jar or bottle through which moisture would escape.

  3. The soil is placed in the container, which should correspond to the future green inhabitants: if a mini-desert is created, ordinary sand can be used; if you need space for a tropical jungle, it is better to purchase a ready-made substrate. You can find out about the needs of different plants in specialized stores, where these plants are sold. For a decorative effect, soil layers can be alternated with small layers of colored sand.

  4. Then you can start populating the plants in the container. To do this, they are taken out of the bowls, they try to clean the roots as much as possible and root them in the prepared soil.If moss is chosen for the florarium, it is worth putting a special substrate for mosses on top of the general substrate, since they love acidic soil. If you don't know how to grow moss in a jar, you can always use decorative pieces.
  5. After planting and watering, as well as cleaning the walls of the florarium, you can start decorating. It all depends on the creator's imagination: someone strews the entire surface of the earth with decorative stones, makes a miniature bench or mill, and someone appreciates minimalism, practically not using decorative techniques.

If the florarium will stand in the center of the room, it is desirable that the composition is even, and a beautiful view opens from all sides. If the florarium is leaning against a wall or window, several levels can be made: those plants that are farther away are placed a little higher.

Several florariums with different plants look very impressive

Floral arrangement: proportions, background, texture

A flower arrangement consists of several elements that can be seen - a vessel, plant material and possibly a stand and accessories. Good proportion means that the dimensions of the elements must be in such proportion to create a pleasing effect.

This is especially noticeable in landscape, small and miniature compositions, and the main culprits for imbalances are usually oversized flowers and accessories. But a disproportionate arrangement can be in any style, and the most common reason is a vessel that is not the right size for plant material.

The golden ratio shown in the photo above has long been used as a criterion for ideal proportions.

The composition can be quite proportional, but at the same time it is not at all suitable for the background or the setting in which it is placed. To avoid the problem, there are several aspects to consider. First of all, this is the style of the room - it is obvious that an abstract composition will look out of place in a simple cottage setting. The size of the room is equally important - the miniature composition in large and tall halls can look pathetic.

It is also important to take into account the type of wall surface - see photo above

There are also practical problems that should not be created, such as dining table compositions that interfere with conversation and hallway arrangements that impede easy access.

Plant material can have all sorts of textures - glossy, velvety, pubescent, dull, thorny, etc. A glossy flower becomes brighter if nearby foliage is matte, and shiny leaves give the composition shine in strong light. The role of different textures is to increase the attractiveness of an arrangement at the expense of variety.

This is very important when there is only a slight difference in the color of the flowers, and when a small amount of plant material is used in a free style arrangement.

Arranging plants according to color

Color is one of the first things that catches the eye when looking at a composition, and therefore some understanding of color is helpful. This does not mean that there are many rules to follow. Some of the so-called rules are dubious, and too much has already been written about what goes with what and how to avoid color collisions - “never put pink next to dark crimson” and so on. Color is a matter of personal taste.

The foundation of color theory is the Color Wheel. It consists of numerous pure colors, from which light and dark shades are obtained. There are three main ways to arrange these colors together so that the viewer feels like they match.

The boldest way is to use contrasting colors that are opposite each other through the center of the circle, the calmest way is to use similar colors that are next to each other, and the most subtle way is to use shades of the same color.

If you are arranging flowers for the home and not for a flower show, then you can ignore the color wheel and associated schemes if you like. In this case, it is helpful to have a clear understanding of the properties of warm and cool colors to ensure that the chosen colors are appropriate for the room, lighting, season, container, and arrangement design.
