Artificial flowers and vases are a perfect way to bring everlasting life and style into your home without the maintenance of real plants (definitely what I need as a busy mom!) Here are a few of my favorite high-quality faux stems along with stylish vessels to elevate your interior design on a budget.
Selecting Realistic Faux Flowers
Modern artificial greenery has evolved to look incredibly lifelike. When shopping, I look for “real-touch” materials and natural color gradients.
These Vintage Artificial Peony Silk Flowers are literally some of my favorite artificial blooms. Although I’m partial to the light pink shade, several of the other tones look quite natural as well.
These tall Peony flowers are an impressive bunch and can easily create an arrangement right out of the box.
I love fresh flowers but I’m always sad when they start drooping. These amazing tulips come in a number of great shades and can completely fool the casual observer. I’ve linked to the large bundle, but the smaller grouping works well, too.
Hydrangeas have long been a favorite of mine, and the green leaves on these help to easily flesh out a bouquet. Bring out an undertone in pillows or rug with these, or stick with neutral for an understated look.
Choosing the Perfect Decorative Vase
The right vase acts as a foundation for your arrangement, adding texture and height to your decor.
This stoneware vase with twisted handles can actually stand on its own, with or without faux flowers or leaves. I’m truly in love with it. Just a perfect glaze, shape, and size.
The texture on this vase is spot on! While some may label it as boho and others as farmhouse, I think the little knotty bumps can adjust to any vibe that needs texture to create an interesting look.
While this vase is the most expensive one that I’m featuring in this post, it has its place here as a truly powerful decorating piece. It is definitely a larger vase, adding excellent grounding for your decor.
Styling Tips for Your Arrangement
- Vary the Heights: Trim your stems at different lengths to create an organic, tiered appearance rather than a flat, uniform top.
- Bend the Stems: Since most high-quality faux plants have a wire core, bend them slightly to mimic the natural way real flowers lean toward the light.
- Mix Textures: Combine smooth silk petals with textured greenery like eucalyptus to add visual depth to your display.
