Flower arrangements are an essential element in creating a comfortable and beautiful home.
Although it may seem daunting, mastering the art of flower arrangement is all about achieving a visually pleasing result.
Vase Types:
Vases can be classified based on their material, size, use, mouth size, and shape. They come in various materials such as ceramic, glass, plastic, metal, wood, resin, and bamboo. Additionally, they can be categorized as ornamental, collections, or practical vases.
1. Glass Vase
Clear and transparent, glass vases accentuate the beauty of flowers. They come in various styles and colors, making them effortless to match with different styles.
2. Ceramic Vase
Ceramic vases encompass both ceramic and porcelain vases. They possess an antique and pure beauty. Porcelain vases, particularly celadon, have a glossy and elegant appearance.
3. Metal Vase
Metallic vases, often made of brass, exhibit a unique metal luster, conveying a sense of luxury and retro charm. The combination of metal and glass in vases has gained popularity, adding more interest and personality to the design.
4. Wooden Vase
Wooden vases offer a natural and calm aesthetic with their warm color, clear texture, and elegant shapes. They are suitable for various styles, including classical, modern, and European.
Arrangement Principles:
1. Length of Flowers
The length of the flowers should be approximately 1.5 to 2 times the height of the vase. For example, if you have a bouquet of 30cm flowers, a vase of around 20cm would be suitable.
2. Type of Flowers
Consider the size and number of flower heads when selecting a vase. Larger flower heads and a higher quantity are suited for wide-mouth or shorter straight vases. Longer and more flexible branches are best displayed in narrow-mouth vases or large vases.
3. Number of Flowers
A larger number of flowers pairs well with wide-mouth vases, straight vases, or large vases. If you have a smaller number of flowers, narrow-mouth vases are more appropriate. For small but long flowers, wide-mouth large vases work well.
4. Overall Style and Color Scheme
Vases and flowers are decorative items that should complement the interior's overall design. When purchasing, ensure they harmoniously integrate with the surrounding environment and enhance the beauty of the interior through texture and color changes.
Important Tips:
1. When arranging vases on the dining table, avoid overcrowding and ensure the height of the flowers does not obstruct the dining experience.
2. Consider the fragrance of flowers when selecting them. Avoid placing strongly scented flowers, such as perfume lilies, indoors for an extended period, as the fragrance may contain slight toxicity and could potentially impact human health.
3. If you have pets, opt for non-fragile vases to prevent accidents and breakages.
Remember, beauty can be easily achieved by incorporating flowers into your surroundings.
