An entrance hall is often the darkest place in a house where natural light does not get well, and the electric light is turned on extremely rarely. Living flora, located in the hallway, quickly wither and die. Therefore, this room is considered ideal for decorating plants from fabric, plastic, polymer clay.
The entrance hall is what your guests see first, so pay as much attention to it as the living room. She deserves a little effort on our part and creative ideas.

If there is more room in your hallway, it will be appropriate to place a high floor vase with herbs.

Kitchen
Kitchen - Another room in which it is extremely rare to see natural bouquets. The reason for this is the constant evaporation from cooking and dry air in general. In this room, the family spends a lot of time. Cooking, dining and talking is an important daily ritual, because interesting details in the interior will help to create a homely feeling.
Decorative elements should emphasize the atmosphere of comfort and correspond to the total area. Kitchen shelves recommend that you decorate with small vases and baskets that will perfectly complement the jars of cereals and spices. An interesting option - pots.

Living room - the most comfortable room, a gathering place for the whole family. It has the largest area. Because of this, the living room is considered the best place for floristic experiments. The classic “professorial” interior can be supplemented with a large palm tree with a pot in the corner of the room and tall vases with gladioli or roses.

Decorate a coffee table in the living room with a vase or an openwork salad bowl with pears and apples, as well as an artificial apple tree branch in bloom.

Flowers in the bedroom should please the eye and adjust to rest. We do not recommend piling it with a large number of non-natural floral compositions, as they collect a lot of dust. Make a choice in favor of delicate shades of floral arrangements - light pink, peach, white and blue. Ceramic vases should also be made in color.
On the bedside tables, install small vases, a wall behind bed decorate with delicate garland or climbing artificial plants.
