arranging spring flowers

As Winter turns into Spring bunches of daffodils begin to appear in the shops. This first burst of colour brings optimism and hope of warmer weather. Easy to buy in quantity due to their economical price, it is a time to be indulgent to create a spectacle of sunshine. Rather than just one bouquet, display a row of vases for more impact.

Flowers can feel an unnecessary luxury but the benefits of adding both colour and scent to your home can really uplift your mood all week. If you are able, a regular flower delivery service is an effortless way of ensuring you always have an array of blooms. They usually provide a step by step guide to arranging the stems so the practise of display becomes a relaxing pastime in itself. Consider placing your flowers individually around the house. A single flower in a vase, or even a cluster of foliage can add an extra dimension to a display. Put them in cloakrooms and bedrooms to bring an unexpected delight to an otherwise forgotten space.
