Trend: dried flowers in your interior

Sustainable and natural products in the home are back. A fresh bunch of flowers will brighten up your interior in no time. But have you ever thought about the trend of the moment? After all, dried flowers are slowly but surely shaking off their dusty image and are an elegant and hip addition to your interior design. But how do you style these fragile flowers and where do you give them the place they deserve in your interior?

 

Drying flowers

We start at the beginning. You can buy dried flowers ready-made in any interior store. If you are a handy Harry and you want to get started yourself, you can also dry a beautiful field bouquet yourself. How? Choose your favorite flowers and plants, preferably with bright colors for a nice effect. Remove the superfluous leaves and tie the flowers together with an elastic band. Then hang them upside down in a dry and warm place where it is twilight. That way the colors are nicely preserved. Or put them between an old (telephone) book. After more than a week you have a beautifully dried bouquet.

Vases and bottles

To maintain

Dried flowers - unlike a fresh bouquet of bouquets - can last quite a long time. But of course you want to enjoy your bouquet of dried flowers for as long as possible. Keep dried flowers out of the sun to preserve the color as much as possible and to ensure that they do not dry out further. Also, make sure you display the flowers in a safe place in your home. The flowers and leaves are fragile and dissolve quickly, so that your interior gem will soon look less beautiful.
