Fresh Ideas- Decorating With Flowers

Today I'd like to share with you a few ideas to decorate your home or office with flowers. Now that Spring has sprung, and the weather is getting warmer, the season has come to use the wide variety of flowers available everywhere. Simple, happy decor.


Cute flowers can make a huge impact on any table setting.
On the other hand, if you're giving flowers to someone, this is a great way to go, place them in a gift bag! You can do this for your home as well, but you should put a container inside so that you can put water for your flowers. =)


Now, you don't need large pots for flower arrangements. This is a very cute idea, and all they're using is a glass of water. Ribbons make it prettier.


And of course, there's the orchid, one of my favorites. This is a great idea for napking rings, but then again, this flower is somewhat expensive (at least it is here). So, I say, why not leave the orchid in its pot, nice and pretty, and use a less expensive option, such as roses or daisies. Just as good!


And for all of those having no real flowers around, no need to worry. Here's something for you. Take some fabric, or paper, with a flower pattern, and cut a flower out. Glue it to clothes pegs, and put a magnet for your fridge. It's a beautiful way to hang memos and notes. I like this idea as a way to put a card on gifts.


It's almost Friday, yay!

Scandinavian Space

Details are very important when decorating, because they help balancing spaces and giving them character and personality. This flatn in Copenhagen is full of accesories and great styling details, which contrast beautifully with the white. Can you find any favorites?










I love the dark colored flowers, following the black-and-white concept, especially how they keep the flat masculine. Pretty interesenting, don't you think?

H & M Home

I just discovered H & M has a "home" store, besides its famous clothing stores. This is a whole new thing for me, and another good reason to ask them to bring the store to Mexico, pretty please?
 
These are some of the cool accesories you can find on their homepage.

 






What are your favorites?
I've only been to H & M a few times, but I've never been to a Home H & M. Have you? Is it as amazing as it seems?

Dream Bedroom


For all of you coming back from the long weekend, a little dose of inspiration and may your week be the best! I found this lovely picture via jezebel, but can't find its source. Does anybody know where it comes from? I have a feeling it may be anthropologie =)

Green Roofs and Vertical Gardens










Yesterday was Earth Day, and hence some inspirational works on green roofs and vertical gardens done mostly in Mexico. I love the idea of creating gorgeous, green spaces that not only are eco-friendly, but they actually do something for the environment. I wish I had a green roof at home! Happy long weekend for all.
