Unit 4 1.Flower in Home Decoration

Just as people have their own personalities1,so do their homes.Professionals use this technique constantly.Open up any home magazine to see how flowers are used to achieve a sophiscated look. And yet you need not be a professional interior designer.Almost anyone can decorate with flowers to create a personal and picture perfect home interior.It is said that popular home decorationg personalities tend to fall into 5 categories:classic traditonal,casual easy living,modern contempory,Victorian or American country.

Classic Traditional

Design elements include classic furnishings and antiques made out of mahogany, cherry or walnut2 with elegant fabrics3 of brocade, silk and tapestry4. And call for a mixture of flowers (roses, gladiola, carnations5, and lilies to name a few)

Casual Easy Living

Casual living lifestyles focus on the simple pleasures of life. The decor includes furniture of natural woods or bleached6 oaks. Flowers provide nature's balancing formula with that "just picked" look. The flowers (such as sunflowers, daisies, hydrangea, delphinium or tulips) could be placed in a clear glass vase, pitcher7 or piece of pottery8.

Modern Contemporary

Sleek9 and chic10, calls for clean lines, with lots of glass and other man-made materials. Bold, exotic flowers (like callas,) work well to complement11 this home's clean, open spaces. To complete the dramatic look, flowers are best displayed in frosted glass vases; decorative12 pottery and metallic13 containers.

Victorian Velvets

Satins, chintz, lace and organza create a feeling of softness and romance in the Victorian home. Fragrant14 flowers (roses, peonies, gardenias15, freesia) in pale peach, lavender, pink, yellow and cream conjure16 images of romance. Glow in lovely, romantic vases of clear glass, crystal and silver.

American Country

Recognized as a style its own, American country has become a phenomenon.Woven baskets or simple vases of mixed spring flowers (wild roses,) fit perfectly17 on a coffee table or kitchen counter. Cut flowers, blooming plants, herbs, wreaths and swags with that farm-fresh look are a natural extension of this homespun decor.
