How to Accent Your Home Office with Flowers

A home office can be easily overlooked when designing a home or apartment. Other more prominent rooms like bedrooms, kitchens, and living areas typically steal the focus when starting a home design process. However, the functionality of a home office is imperative. This living space is where you'll be doing work, and it's crucial you have this room as a means of motivation and inspiration. Creating a home office space that fits your personality and working style is important to cultivate productivity and creativity. In addition to thoughtful interior design, floral arrangements lend a helping hand in the creative realm as an energizing and lively accent to your home office. We suggest creating flower arrangements that fit within your space’s design and complement your personality. We’ve rounded up several ways you can pair your flower arrangements with your home office design.

Paint + Flower Color

Getting creative with color coordination for paint and flower color will elevate your space. Focus on motivating and energetic colors, like yellows and bright blues. Try to avoid colors that would overwhelm or distract (like orange, which makes you hungry!) and cool hues that are too calming for a work space. When choosing colors for your home office, consider a palette that is subtle and versatile if you often like to change up your décor. Also, don’t be afraid to be matchy-matchy! Incorporating color in your florals that complement wall art is a meticulous detail that doesn't go unnoticed!

Texture + Pattern Play

When creating arrangements as accents to your space, think texture. The texture of an arrangement can elevate the space in a way that plays off of other patterns and shapes in the room, like wallpaper or furniture. Don’t be afraid to mix and match textures and patterns. Doing so can add dimension and interest to the space, sparking creativity!

Balance

A subtle mix of masculine and feminine elements will tie the room together in a balanced state. You never want too much of the same thing, so remember balance when adding décor pieces and floral arrangement to your space. Even the flowers in an arrangement can be a combination of feminine and masculine – try mixing blue thistle or protea with lighter, more feminine blooms.

Make It Personal

A warm and inviting home office will keep the creative energy flowing, more so when you have items and decoration surrounding you of things that make you happiest. It's important to remain inspired. Display photos of family and friends, embellishments, sport staples, and artwork. If you’re an avid traveler, display items collected from your travels that spark happy memories.

Repetition

Creating a line to draw the eye across the room is essential for expanding your space. Repetition is a fundamental detail in interior design that lends a rhythm in a room, allowing the eye to wander. This can be achieved through floral arrangements in vases of varying heights. We often suggest to display arrangements in odd numbers or clusters.

Think Out of the Vase

Including natural elements, like berries and branches, will give your arrangements a more earthy and organic aesthetic. Consider adorning your space with succulents, which will have a longer life span. This also helps the arrangement last a bit longer than having a full-floral arrangement. Swap out a few stems, while the same vases remain, and your space will always look fresh and new. Dried flowers and pampas grass also make for great arrangement elements that will add texture and longevity to your piece.

Designing a home that feels good is essential. When decorating your home, don’t forget to emphasize the importance of your home office as it’s the space where you’ll be doing most of you work! Consider incorporating flower arrangements into your design to liven up your space and add a burst of energy to the room.
