This is my guide to an easy way to decorate with flowers and brighten any room.
Decorating with flowers is the easiest and most impactful way to brighten a room.
I’m a little obsessed with flowers. Every time I do a photo shoot of my house, the first thing I do is grab fresh flowers. Okay, I should say after I clean my house then I get flowers. So a clean house and flowers are really the two most important things for a beautiful room. Don’t you agree?
Stunning Floral Ideas
Take for instance, my French inspired dining room. Usually my wooden dining table is just used to hold DIY projects (and occasionally for eating at) but I had to clean this room up first, then add the beautiful flowers displayed in a champagne bucket and the room was magically transformed.
Let me show you some easy and pretty ways to decorate with flowers.
This Easter centrepiece was a great way of adding height with only a few bouquets of flowers. I used a French drying rack or cup holder to display these beautiful flowers.
She has written a book titled A Year in Flowers. It’s full of inspiration that will bring joy to your life. Each chapter overflows with information, advice, tips & tutorials that embraces the novice to experienced floral designer. Kelly weaves in practical advice along with vivid stories.
There are 12 tutorials, coinciding with the month’s of the year, that can be re-created petal by petal or can be used as a spring board to your own designs. You will have more than enough knowledge about flowers, floral care & design after reading the book to create just about anything with flowers.
Each page empowers you, not only with knowledge on the how & why of floral design, but on a deeper level gives you a simple way to elevate your everyday.
As Kelly says… “Don’t spend your life waiting for someone to send you flowers. Make your own arrangements”. With her book you can do just that!
In addition to writing this book, Kelly authors the blog My Soulful Home, is co-creator of the app bHome and is producer/co-host of the popular podcast Decorating Tips & Tricks. She is currently renovating an 1886 Victorian farmhouse. She shares this historic work in progress with her husband, two girls & dog Emmett.

Jamie! Thank you so very much for sharing my book with your readers. I SO agree flowers make all the difference. Cleaning is a good idea too, but in a pinch just buy more flowers. No one will see the dust bunnies then! Thanks again my friend – I really appreciate it!

I love flowers too! I pretty much always wait until I have flowers before i do any styled shoots as well. They add perfects pops of color, beauty and life to images. I’m still on the hunt to find an antique champagne bucket as well – love that look!
Thanks for all this beautiful, floral inspiration. My favorite is the photo of the individual rose stems in the collection of vases. So pretty!

Your floral arrangement ideas are beautiful! I, too, like to have flowers around all of the time. There is a vendor at a local farmer’s market that has beautiful bouquets and I treat our home to a bouquet every other week. Last week, one bouquet filled 2 nice sized vases and 1 small vase. I also cut flowers and greenery from our yard. Flowers are such a delight! Thanks for sharing your very inspiring pieces.
