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 get 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?
Take for instance, my dining room. Usually my 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.
Dining Room – before and after
I love a white kitchen but especially in photos in can read blah. All you need are beautiful flowers and the whole room comes alive.
I love using different creative vessels for displaying flowers, like an antique champagne bucket.

Or a vintage basket with a glass bowl of water placed inside.
Many little vases in a row with a single flower is my new favourite. It’s a simple beauty that I love.
This bouquet of peonies has an unreal colour and against the green sap bucket, it gives even more impact.
I added a glass vase to the inside of the sap bucket so it wouldn’t leak.
Even a tiny bouquet of flowers adds such impact and repeats the same colour in the room like how these fresh roses match the towel.

Even ‘dead’ flowers make an impact such as the dried lavender and dried roses.

How to Pick Art with a French Vintage Vibe
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.

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!

We share a bond of flowers and vintage style, my friend. Congratulations on your beautiful book!
Hugs, Jamie
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 so much, Jen! And good luck with your champagne bucket hunt 😉
Hugs, Jamie
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.
Sounds like the perfect bouquet, Jolene. I love fresh flowers too!
Hugs, Jamie
