Just Fake It with Artificial Flowers
17th Oct 2019
Fake flowers are having a moment. They’re popping up on social media in home decorating trends as a top lifestyle hack to turn your home into a welcoming calm space. We’re being duly influenced by these influencers and their lush lifestyles and green finger vibes. And it’s not just because of their great angled photos and strong back lighting. It’s because quality artificial flowers don’t look artificial anymore. The plastic coated weird smelling rubber plants of our childhoods have been replaced by mother nature clones. Good quality artificial flowers, which for the record is all we stock here (just sayin’) reflect natures inconsistencies. Our barks have rough textures, leaves are unique in pattern and our flowers mimic natural colours (we say NO to neon!)
Many of our fake flowers even feel real. We see it all the time, customers touch leaves and then go in for the smell test. That’s how we know just how good they are.

There’s pretty much nothing a good fake plant can’t do for a room in terms of positive vibes. Fake it in areas of your home that are hard to reach but are screaming for a pop of colour – kitchen shelves, tops of bookcases, high open shelving.

If you make a mistake – move it! No biggie. Transform a different spot. Or even better, change it to a different pot. The textures of the pots and containers should never outshine the plant, but it’s amazing to see how different the same plant will look in a different base. Choose from rattan baskets, Renoir pots, mosaic style - do you know what, just check out our range here.
Make your Home Glow
You know those corners in your home that the sun never sees and even the cat avoids? Brighten up that shadowy gloom where natural flowers wouldn’t last five minutes, with a good fake one. Boost your jungle vibes and change that space with some confident Mimosa Spray.
There are no rules here. If you want to mix up fake flowers with real ones. Do. This blend works fabulously in outdoor areas where real flowers are at the mercy of real weather and can do with a decorating boost from some fake flowers. No one will ever be able to tell the difference, and you’ll be complimented on your green thumb. Cheers to that.
