Durable flowers that do not fade

Today your friend is visiting you because she finally wants to see your new apartment. You are really excited and have prepared coffee and cake. When your friend rings the bell, you rush to the door and invite her in. She puts her bag down, but she is carrying a small gift for you in her arms: a pretty artificial flower . Since your friend knows that a real orchid unfortunately won’t last long with you, she has opted for the easy-care and durable alternative. Find out what other advantages artificial flowers have and which plants are suitable for your space here:

Floral decoration for eternity: the advantages of artificial flowers

Do you love flowers, but somehow you just don’t have a green thumb and they usually die after a short time? Then artificial flowers are a great alternative. They don’t fade, last a long time and look fresh and bright even after months without fertilizing or watering. In addition, artificial plants are also suitable for people who have little time to look after the real alternative or are rarely at home. With artificial flowers you are spared most of the care. You only need to dust them every now and then.

Wherever natural flowers cannot grow or can only grow with difficulty, artificial flowers made of textile materials are a pretty and practical solution for decorating your rooms and bringing a piece of nature into your home. You don’t have to worry about location conditions such as sufficient daylight, heat or cold and you can simply place them wherever you want.

The right place: Artificial flowers look particularly good here

The special thing about artificial flowers is that they are basically suitable for all rooms. Since they are not tied to any location conditions, you can also put them in rooms with little daylight or only artificial light, or in rooms that are very warm or cold, have high humidity, where people smoke or where drafts could be a problem. You can read here which variants are suitable for your bathroom, living room or outdoor area.

Floral decoration for the living room

You can decorate a large dining table in your living room with a colorful bouquet of flowers. Roses made of pastel-colored textile materials look particularly beautiful in combination with a floral tablecloth. Long-stemmed magnolia branches arranged in a tall floor vase look a little more subtle and modern . Place them next to the sofa or TV wall to create a natural look. With the help of a multi-part artificial flower set made up of coordinated plants in small planters, you can, for example, liven up a bare windowsill.

Decorative flowers for the bathroom

Would you like to add a touch of exoticism to your bathroom with artificial flowers? Then choose matching grasses that look particularly fresh in rich green. Bamboo bushes, succulents or elegant calla lilies with their white flower heads look particularly beautiful with light bathroom fittings. If you have a large bathroom, a large artificial palm tree is also a good option. If you place it next to the bathtub, you will create your own little holiday paradise.

Tip: Make sure you choose models made of plastic in the bathroom. Due to the high humidity, this material is more suitable than textile materials.

Durable flower decoration for outdoor use

In addition to the interior, you can also decorate your balcony or terrace with artificial flowers. Large bushes in round terracotta pots or small wild roses look great as decoration for your balcony railing . A hanging basket or a climbing rose with a metal frame also looks good on the terrace. Plants such as lavender or other herbs look pretty in zinc pots on the balcony table and spread a Mediterranean flair. Here too, make sure you use weatherproof materials that can withstand rain and wind.

Tip: Since artificial flowers are long-lasting, you should choose colors that match your decor. This looks particularly harmonious.

Care tips: How to clean artificial flowers properly

To ensure that your artificial flowers still look fresh and colorful even after several weeks and months, you should clean them regularly. Here are a few tips.

• Remove dust regularly with a soft microfiber cloth.
• Silk flowers are very sensitive and can be cleaned of dust using special sprays. Alternatively, you can also carefully dust them with a soft feather duster.
• You can rinse plastic plants under the shower to remove dirt. However, the water jet should not be too strong, otherwise it could damage the flowers.
• Avoid direct sunlight. It can fade the colors.

Conclusion: Artificial flowers bring nature into your home

No green fingers, no time or simply no good conditions for real plants? Artificial plants are a great alternative. They look real, require little care and can be placed anywhere. Here is a summary of important information:

• Artificial plants are made of textile materials or plastic and are therefore durable.
• In the living room, individual branches in tall floor vases and colorful bouquets on the dining table look particularly beautiful, exotic grasses and fresh green tones look great in the bathroom, and artificial flowers made of weatherproof materials in hanging baskets or even bushes are suitable for outdoor areas.
