When to choose artificial plants for decorating an apartment

Artificial flowers are back in fashion as home decoration. Today they are magnificent and in no way resemble those tasteless flower arrangements that just recently were full of in every home. Now designers are decorating real natural works of art, with the presence of live roses, chrysanthemums, ficuses and other plants.

What are the benefits of artificial flowers?

Among the advantages it is worth noting:

ornamental plants decorate the room, never withering;
no diseases attack the flowers;
they do not need to be watered and placed in well-lit places;
flower arrangements are quite durable;
beauty in the house is achieved at minimal cost;
for each design, it is possible to select a specific composition;
temperature changes are not terrible for artificial plants.

Fundamentals of phytodesign

The beauty of a living space largely depends on following the basic principles of phytodesign. Among them:

harmonization of the composition in color with the rest of the interior of the room;
a choice of flowers with wide bright green leaves for dark apartments;
separate placement of large flora, thus zoning the apartment;
small artificial flowers look advantageous inside group compositions;
high floral arrangements visually “raise” the ceiling;
sprawling palm trees and ficuses with wide leaves will visually expand the space.

What are they made of?

Thanks to modern equipment, real masterpieces are created. Digital 3D printers work wonders. The client is ready to pay more for a durable ikebana made of ornamental plants, so the manufacturer can afford to use good raw materials without saving on them. Florists often assemble flower arrangements on their own and the result is excellent. Be it a Chinese factory or a tiny private manufactory in Germany.

Is it really plastic?

In fact, ornamental plants are made from a variety of materials. Ikebana are also found in plastic. Each material is good in its own way and is not applicable everywhere. For example, plastic plants are suitable for gardens and outdoors (bushes, trees). It is impossible to distinguish some plastic plants from real ones if the compositions of them are placed in the garden.
