I fall for limited editions. Perfume, ice cream flavors, printed socks–an exclusive holds cache. Peonies exude cache. Every year from late May to early June their tight fisted buds explode into feathery pink flowers that grip us with their scent and style. Part of the attraction is that as quickly as they enchant they then shrivel into the ground, like that icy beauty who will seduce and then leave town with someone cooler. Call it the limited edition flowers.
A bedside vignette takes on some va va voom with fully bloomed peonies. Note the linking colors of soft pastels, gold with a shock of pink.
Styling with flowers is a simple exercise, just allow the flowers to lead the direction. I always pick what’s seasonal and then see how they work within my scheme. Add accents, like jewelry boxes, dishes and decorative candles to build your vignette.
Even in a room with a different color scheme, the addition of a vibrant statement color through flowers contours the look to a styled direction.
Regardless of whether the flowers match your design or not, anything natural will always fit in.
A fresh bundle of peonies is so dramatic they add beauty without supporting cuttings.
Connect with color, textiles and art for a timeless look.
It’s not necessary to designate to your most public spaces–bedrooms, bathrooms, the office–all rooms deserve a floral touch.
Bring some style, and inspiration, to your work area with flowers.
