We all lead a pretty busy lifestyle, spending most of our time at home or at work, sweating away to achieve our goals. It can get pretty exhausting, especially if our surroundings are kinda dull or depressing; it can impact our mental health and peace in so many different ways. Hence it is extremely necessary for an individual to pay attention to their surroundings and work towards enhancing it. If you ask me, the one thing that immediately puts me into a better mood is flowers. A beautiful flower arrangement can do miracles for one’s mental peace. The colourful buds can pick up your mood almost instantly, and the mesmerising fragrance will make you feel fresh. It’s a known fact that flowers improve oxygen circulation, and that fact prevails in the freshly plucked flowers as well, so having flowers around will not only keep you in a better state of mind but will also keep you healthy and fresh. With so many benefits, flowers can be your personal space companion, and to do that in the best way, here I am sharing a few tips on how you can decorate your living, studying or working environment with flowers to achieve mental peace.
Choose you Flowers
This goes without saying, but you must choose your flowers very carefully. The reason is the colours and fragrance are gonna be around for until you change the flowers if they dry out. So, it is in your hand but throwing away pretty and fresh flowers just because you didn’t like them is not something I would suggest, so it’s better that you go for flowers that you already like. This way, you will be in the company of your favourite flower, and they will be in a happy place where they are loved.
Regular Care
Now, just because they are plucked, many people believe that they don’t need attention, and they can not be more wrong. These flowers need attention, food, water and pruning just like any other plant, just a little less intense. That is why many florists sell flowers with flower food and a manual of care. If you want the same with your flowers, you should order flowers from online florists; there are plenty of online flower shops that offer flower delivery in Gurgaon or wherever you want.
Use old stuff to decorate
Now, after choosing flowers and knowing that you must take care of them, you need something to put them into. While flowers are affordable if you do not go for the exotic high-end ones, vases, on the other hand, can be considered an expensive investment. According to me, instead of investing in a vase, bring your crafty side out and use old stuff to create different types of vases and flower arrangements. Here are a few things that you can use for an attractive vase:
- Use old bottles– We all have those old bottles that we never throw away. Either those wine bottles or some plastic bottles of cold drink, here is where you can use them. Take some time out to paint them, and you have your own new DIY vase ready. Decorate it however you want, or you can just leave it one colour; it will look amazing either way.
- Old bowl and some rope: Sounds confusing? I will help you through it. Do you remember that one bowl that has lost its colour or there are too many scratches on it and now you can not serve anything in it? Here is your chance, take that bowl, paint it however you like and put your flowers in it. Then stick some rope on all the sides of the bowl, and here you have a hanging vase for yourself. Hang it over your workstation or in the corner of your room, and it will change the entire look of the place.
- Old artificial flowers: Don’t lie, we all have some leftover artificial flowers that we bought cause real flowers eventually dry out. Here is an interesting way to use them now, take your painted old bottle and stick those artificial flowers to it. This vase will look absolutely ravishing and will give space a whole new floral theme.
- Old broken stuff: Sometimes broken things can be beautiful; you can always use your old teapots, pans and even water bottles as vases; you just got to be a little creative. Paint them according to your choice and decorate them however you like.
Make Potpourri
After decorating your vase with flowers, We all get a little sad when the flowers dry out, and it’s time to replace them with new ones. So here is something you can do to keep them with you for a little longer; you can make potpourri out of them. Potpourri is simply a pot full of dried flower petals mixed with some essential oils. Oil mixed with the natural fragrance of the flowers creates an aroma so amazing that it will keep your surrounding daisy fresh, and you will always be in a great mood.
