5 Reasons to Include Plants & Flowers to Your Home Decor

Flowers used to be a thing a lot of years ago and then they suddenly disappeared but the flower trend is back again, It's bigger and better if I may say and much more innovative with beautiful artificial indoor plant designs and small decor plants. Flowers are beautiful and can be used in different areas of our homes and other areas outside the home. Flowers and plants serve multiple functions aside from beautification, decorative plants can complement your home’s interior decor and bring your space to life. They even make people smile or convey some sort of emotion that's why people send flowers during valentine's day and when offering an apology or a marriage proposal or expressing love.

 Flowers or plants can come either live or in artificial/synthetic form, whichever way you love to have them they both achieve the same purpose. Flowers are used in so many areas and different functions as well. For wedding bouquets, for table dressing/event decor, photo background, outdoor garden, hallways, Living Room decor, bedroom, office desk, and office reception, etc the list goes on and on.

Live flowers and plants are usually much more appealing because of the freshness it brings to your space and the natural fragrance it diffuses. Before I go further, let me give you 5 reasons to add flowers to your space and I mean any space not just your home.

1. Flowers Brightens/Cheers up your Mood: Like I said earlier flowers convey some emotion, because of their colourful and naturalness it lightens the atmosphere just like the feng shui design recommends adding a little bit of nature into your space using flowers (live plants).seeing a beautiful pink flower or a colourful green plant or some happy yellow flower can brighten up your day. just like colour psychology explains that colours can determine how you feel in a space, the same thing applies to flowers. they trigger happy emotions and heightens the feeling of satisfaction that positively affects your behaviour.               
2. Flowers are a Natural Air Freshener: We had this plant outside our home while growing up it was called Queen of the night it smelled really great at night and we also had a lot of lemongrass planted and it had this refreshing smell every morning so aside from cheering you up, live Plants have a naturally sweet fragrance and you almost don't need diffusers or any form of air fresheners to keep your living room fresh. This works with live plants and may not be possible with synthetic plants but what I do with my Artificial flowers is to drop block air fresheners in it so that it oozes good fragrance as live plants do.                                                                                                                          
3. Flowers Purify the air : It is scientifically proven that indoor plants remove pollutants from the air by absorbing these gases through their leaves and roots. While most leafy plants are adept at purifying indoor air, some of the plants that scientists have found most useful in removing VOCs include Japanese royal ferns, spider plants, Boston ferns, purple waffle plants, English ivy, areca palms, golden pothos, aloe vera, snake plants, and peace lilies. that being said, this is a good reason to have plants and flowers in your home.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
4. Flowers make your space look Luxurious:

5. A welcoming Effect: adding some greenery to your home gives it more life. With proper lighting, the flowers offer some sort of serenity when you walk in, away from the stress and noise of the day. It is also said that they help reduce anxiety levels and make you feel relaxed.  Lavender is especially known for its aromatherapy abilities. It can help promote calmness and wellness and even reduce mild pain. 

If you didn't know these reasons now you do, these are however applicable to natural live plants but synthetic plants also have some magical effects that live plants don't. if you are not sure what synthetic plants or Artificial plants are, they are an imitation of natural flowers and plants for commercial and residential decorations. they are what most people use a lot these days, these plastic or silk plants are designed, shaped, and painted to look, smell, and feel like the real thing.

No serious Maintenance Required: Synthetic plants are faux Plastic plants and thus do not require the kind of care and attention that a live plant would require. that being said, you get to save a couple of bucks and time with faux plants because you don't need to hire a gardener or water and trim regularly or bother about hiring a florist you can travel and not be bothered about who is gonna water your plant.                                                                                                                                  Buy this artificial sea basket plant here

5. Multiple Choices for Selection: When using real plants you are limited to one plant in a pot or vase at a time because multiple plants cant be grown together except for scientific and experiment sake but with artificial green plants, you can have multiple pieces of plants and flowers right in the same pot or vase. You can easily use artificial creeping plants indoors and keep your home clean without worrying about sweeping its falling leaves daily but under normal circumstances, creeping plants grow naturally on walls outdoor and messes the ground with leaves.                                                                                      Buy this mini potted plant
