Flowers for the dining area<\/h2>\n

A simple\u00a0meal can go a long way with the beauty of a flower arrangement on your dining table. \u00a0 So let’s take a closer look at ideas for flowers on\u00a0the dining area
\n\"20140617-174346-63826319.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This lovely spring mix of flowers on my dining table is an all-sided arrangement….so no matter where you sit at the table, you are welcomed by some beautiful blooms. I also clustered a few blooms together to get a stronger impact in each section of the arrangement.<\/p>\n

But if you have just a few blooms, then selecting an interesting vessel is all that is needed.
\nYou can see here that I have a dining nook rather than a dining room, so I usually use a vase that calls for just a few flowers.<\/p>\n

If you have a large open dining space, then long flowers and big vases can be used. Let’s look at some examples. Photos from Decoist.<\/a><\/p>\n

White and green (or even yellow) can be combined with a darker table and brighter kitchen cabinets. \u00a0And a long table allows for multiple vases.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This more intimate dining table requires a slender vase, however, the tall blooms work well because the space feels open and airy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Using accent colors coordinates creates harmony in a space.\u00a0 This contemporary kitchen lends itself to a more contemporary floral arrangement….thus a sleek shaped vase filled with brightly colored tropical flowers works perfectly here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another great example of using accent colors to bring cohesion to the space. \u00a0LOVE how those pink branch blossoms bring out that pink pillow. \u00a0 And that dark wood vase picks of the deep dark browns\u00a0of the room. \u00a0 Open airy space allows for open airy blooms.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If not pulling accent colors, then selecting bloom colors that contrast your wall colors really helps the flowers pop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is another example of using a contrasting color from the white walls. \u00a0Your eyes go right to the pink blooms on the table.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This photo provides an\u00a0example of creating\u00a0floral arrangement that works with the whole room. \u00a0A long table allows a long slender arrangement. \u00a0And such a\u00a0rustic space calls\u00a0for a rustic vessel to be displayed. Nice use of flower selections. \u00a0The scale, color and textures harmonize with the room.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lastly, if you are still feeling unsure about what to add to your dining table…then you really can’t go wrong with a simple glass vase(s) filled with a few stems of flowers. \u00a0This alone brings a life energy to your table and will bring simple beauty to your dining experience.<\/p>\n

Most importantly….just have fun experimenting with what flowers YOU like best on your table! \u00a0If you like it…most likely, your guests will too.<\/p>\n
