While outdoor projects may be on hold during the cooler months, when we spend more time inside our homes, there are no limitations on creating indoor gardens or adding floral charm to our homes by using artificial plants and flowers.

In the depths of winter, getting cosy inside while working on beautiful arrangements of flowers or plants to decorate your home Airbnb or rental property can not only get you through this winter they can be enjoyed for all seasons, year after year, with no maintenance required.

Read on as our team shares ways to DIY artificial garden projects and home decor ideas for the cooler months, including how to create custom floral arrangements, style greenery, and find inspiration for incorporating artificial plants and flowers into your winter decor.

Creating custom floral arrangements to bring nature indoors.

Artificial blooms can be used throughout your home in stunning arrangements regardless of the season. Seasonal blooms, exotic varieties, or tropical flowers can be a vibrant addition to a home, and by using artificial floral stems, you have no restrictions on what you choose for your home decor as fake flowers will not die or wilt. 

Here are some tips for crafting custom floral arrangements for the cooler months:

• Our team appreciates using seasonal foliage that reflects the colours and tones of winter. Consider using pine branches, eucalyptus leaves or even berries and pinecones.

• Combine different types of greenery, artificial leaves and flowers to create depth and visual interest within your floral arrangements. Pair delicate blooms with lush foliage to create a balanced look.

• In the depths of the cooler months, incorporating metallic accents can add a touch of glamour and elegance. In most areas of Australia, we may not get snow locally, but when it’s cold, mimicking dewy branches and flowers with metallic accents can be a lovely way to freshen arrangements.

• Get creative with your choice of vases and vessels. Consider using antique pitchers, vintage jars, garden pots or buckets. Baskets and felt containers can soften the look of an arrangement and give a creative feel to any arrangement.

Styling greenery: elevating your home's decor in winter.

Bringing plants into a home at any time can instantly elevate the mood of a space.  It can bring a freshness to indoor spaces when used as stand-alone accents or incorporated into larger garden scapes.  Artificial greenery can bring warmth to any room, and with many ways to do so quickly, easily and economically, why not try some of our team's ideas:

• Use a tall artificial plant as a statement piece in living areas or entranceways to instantly add colour and a touch of nature to your home.
• Empty corners or alcoves can be a great space to utilise artificial ivy garlands and taller plant varieties to add height and dimension to your space.
• Adorn shelves, sideboards and tables with greenery. Create your own table runner with artificial garland, artificial flowers or berry stems and pinecones for a wintery arrangement to enjoy.
• Create an artificial indoor garden with a selection of artificial plants placed in a gloomy corner to add a spot of colour and nature quickly and easily.

When the weather turns cold, and we spend less time outside, our mental health can be affected. It is well known that less fresh air and limited time in nature can affect our mood, so by mimicking nature indoors, some of the side effects of spending more time indoors can be alleviated.

 

Adding real-life plants to your space can bring mess, insects, and potential allergens into a home. However, utilising artificial plants and flowers is simple, mess—and insect-free, and zero-maintenance. In an enclosed space, having fewer allergens present can be beneficial to kids, adults, and pets, as allergens can increase within the home when the heater is on and windows are closed.

The cooler months provide the perfect opportunity to get creative within your home and embrace the beauty of artificial plants and flowers.  Gather your materials, including scissors, twine or ribbon, florist foam for flower arrangements and decorative pots of your choice for larger plants.  Having some decorative stones and coconut fibre on hand can also allow you to quickly freshen up decorative pots filled with artificial plants or flowers.

With this kit of materials and a little inspiration, you can kickstart your winter decor with artificial plants and flowers within a few hours or a little at a time throughout winter to create a nature-filled space in the warmth of your own home. Our list of inspiring ideas includes:

• Adding a winter-inspired wreath to doors, welcoming guests into your home
• Use artificial ivy garland to decorate entranceways, bookshelves and stair rails
• Embrace wintery blooms to create artificial floral table centrepieces, arrangements and decorations
• Create an indoor garden by pairing greenery and potted flowering blooms in a space that needs a touch of nature
• Add a modern touch with succulents or grasses in small pots and vases throughout the home

Of course, these home decor ideas can be created all year round. Artificial plants and flowers can be enjoyed for many seasons to come as they will not wilt. Although we focus on decor for the cooler months here, you can use tropical flowers, ferns, and palms to create an instant resort feel for your home in summer, too.
