60 Flower Decorating Ideas for an Instant Home Refresh (2024)

A bouquet of red and yellow flowers sits in a large clear mason jar in the dining nook of designer and home stager Francesca Grace's Los Angeles home. The display fits right in with the playful patterns, warm textures, and colorful furnishings throughout the rest of the home.

In her home near Atlanta, designer Kristin Kong outfitted the living room with two bouquets in a single color palette. The largest made of tulips finds its place on the coffee table, while the smaller one sits on a nearby side table.

Designer Joy Williams's goal for this foyer was to make it a place for residents to "linger instead of simply passing through the day from unit to unit.” Some of the hall's homey design elements exist on benches—including a small pedestal bowl filled with moody blooms that sits atop a trio of coffee table books.

Enhance the ambiance in your bathroom with a selection of florals that add texture but don't stand out too much, as seen here in this room by designer Lucy Harris.

In a powder room by designer Katie Ridder, lavender-colored petals perfectly match the purple-and-white striped hand towel. They both bring a pop of liveliness to the small space.

In this bathroom by designer Eneia White, a white vase sits on a corner chair and holds pink blooms that complement the wall paint that's just above it.

Give your home a small burst of warmth with a bouquet of sunflowers. Cut them so that the heads of the flowers grace the top of the vase, just like the arrangement here that sits on a console table in an area by designer Sherrell Neal.

If you prefer a neutral look, opt for black-and-white anemones. Place them in a neutral vase or select a deeply saturated one, like the dark red vessel seen here.

Groupings of nosegays can be more romantic than one big vase full. Designer and gardener Carolyne Roehm recommends arranging them naturally, like the blooms just came from the garden.

A pedestal table like this is the perfect place to perch a floral arrangement in a hallway, entrance, or corner that needs a little extra attention. We love the way this one plays with light, making the vignette look more like an art installation than everyday decor.

If you don't like flowers because they die quickly, decorate with dry flowers and plants instead. Pampas grass is a particularly lovely option. It exudes that signature California-cool vibe but still fits in with a modern, neutral color palette, making it perfect for subtle spring decorating. Just take note of this Catherine Kwong-designed living room.

Though many different flower arrangements would work beautifully here thanks to the colorful wall art, the purple pansies really bring this bedroom to life. The takeaway? Match your floral arrangements to nearby artwork, as seen in this bedroom designed by Arent & Pyke.

A neutral bouquet can complement a bright backdrop. In a Palm Beach bedroom painted Benjamin Moore's Salmon Peach, white tulips also pick up on the apple green accents.

For a splashy accent, think of the color wheel and choose complementary shades. For example, these peach roses pop inside this gray-blue room while speaking to the coral armchair.

Even a super formal and modern space can feel inviting with the right floral centerpiece. The floral motif in the carpet softens up the cool gray colors and architectural console table and lamps, while the oversized branches put us in touch with nature.

Why should your yard get to enjoy the hydrangea blooms all by itself? In an eclectic bedroom designed by Arent & Pyke, a beautiful pastel cluster perks up a shapely black table. They complement the bedding without being too matchy-matchy as well.

Designer Heather Taylor recreated the motif on her great-grandmother's plates for garden party bouquets. "Even if guests don't notice the reference, it's a lovely detail that adds a fun symmetry," she says of the bluebells and marigolds.

Fill up an empty space with a towering arrangement, like the grouping of cherry blossoms in this colorful farmhouse. If you use clear glass, the stems are visible and part of the design. In that case, add a few drops of bleach to the water to keep it clear, says designer and gardener Carolyne Roehm.

This gorgeous floral arrangement is all the console table needs to go from lowkey to photo-ready. It still works within the preexisting neutral color scheme yet makes the whole space feel so much more alive.

These eye-catching flowers fit right into this space designed by Arent & Pyke, where lighting and furniture double as artwork. They incorporate the pink swirls of the marble table as well as the pale lavender light fixture. Tropical flowers like these will always deliver vivid color and intrigue.
