Faux flowers have come a long way. With beautifully realistic textures, soft petals, and natural movement, today’s artificial stems offer a truly convincing alternative to fresh blooms, without the fuss.

Summer is the perfect time to embrace floral styling at home. Whether you’re refreshing a hallway, styling a summer table, or simply adding subtle seasonal touches, faux flowers can help you achieve a beautifully curated look that lasts all season long, with none of the maintenance real blooms require.

Here’s your guide to making the most of faux flowers this summer, how to choose them, where to place them, and how to style them so they look as beautiful as the real thing.

A good starting point for any summer arrangement is the colour palette. Summer is
the season of soft, sun-washed tones. Whites, creamy neutrals, gentle blush,
and natural greens all work beautifully together to reflect the light, airy feel of this time of year. These shades bring a sense of calm and openness into a space and complement a wide range of interiors.

To create a harmonious arrangement, choose just a few key colours and carry them through the space in subtle ways. For example, soft whites and greens create a fresh, effortless look that works perfectly in kitchens or living spaces, while blush tones and warm neutrals feel more romantic and are ideal for bedrooms or guest rooms.

A successful faux flower arrangement reflects the natural variety you’d find in a
real bouquet. Focus on using stems with varied textures and adjustable heights.
Our faux flowers are designed with bendable stems, allowing you to shape and reposition each one to suit your arrangement. Whether you want a sense of height or a more relaxed, trailing effect, it’s easy to create a display that feels organic and thoughtfully styled. Many of our stems feature both detailed petals and realistic foliage, so even within a single stem, you get the soft contrast of leaf and bloom. This combination of textures adds depth and visual interest, making your arrangement feel natural and full of life, without needing a wide variety of florals.

When arranging faux flowers, working in odd numbers, especially threes, is a simple rule that helps create balance without making the arrangement feel too structured. This doesn’t mean you need three of every type of stem, but rather that the overall grouping includes three key visual elements. For example, a tall stem for structure, a medium flower for volume, and a delicate accent to finish. These trio combinations work well on dining tables, sideboards or windowsills, offering just the right mix of scale and softness.

Minimal arrangements also work beautifully with faux flowers. A single statement bloom in a narrow-necked vase can be striking in its simplicity. Equally, a bunch of the same flower, like our large faux hydrangeas, clustered together can feel fresh without being overwhelming.

The choice of vase plays a big role in how your arrangement feels. Tall vases are perfect for long-stemmed flowers and foliage, giving the stems space but for a
softer look, textured vases or jugs work beautifully, particularly when styled
with romantic summer blooms. Low, rounded vases can be used to display full-volume flowers, giving a fuller and more grounded feel that suits kitchen tables or
entrance halls perfectly.

If a stem is too tall for the container you’ve chosen, you can easily bend the wire at the base or trim it to size. One of the great advantages of faux flowers is this flexibility, you can shape and adapt each stem to suit your styling needs.

Faux flower arrangements aren’t just for the coffee table. Because they require no water or sunlight, they can be styled almost anywhere in the home. A soft, trailing arrangement on a console table in the entryway can make a lovely first impression. A single stem in a bud vase adds elegance to a bedside table or guest room. Even bathrooms can benefit from a floral touch, place a small arrangement near the sink or on a windowsill for a subtle lift.

In entertaining spaces like dining rooms or outdoor seating areas, a larger arrangement acts as both decoration and conversation piece. The best part? You won’t need to worry about wilting petals or changing water after every gathering.

One of the joys of using faux flowers is how easily they can be updated. Summer might call for lighter tones and open blooms, while autumn invites richer colours and more greenery. By rotating a few key stems, you can refresh your arrangements without needing an entirely new bouquet.

Faux flowers offer a sense of continuity and ease that fits perfectly with the pace of modern living. They help you style your home with confidence, knowing that your arrangement will stay looking beautiful from the first warm day of summer to the last.
