1. TABLE SET UP

Move over table runners/linen, foliage is here to lay! That’s right, plants and leaves can be another unconventional alternative to the usual table runners, creating a fun yet stylish look for your table. Simply lay the leaves in a random order, filling the whole table. Place your items on top and you’re good to go! Did anyone mention that this is also good for taking flatlay images?

2. FLOWER CHAINS

Have any left over flowers on hand that are too short to fit into a jar and feel that it’s a waste to throw them away? Well you don’t have to throw any of them away! Create a flower chain by sewing through each flower using a needle and a thread. Violaaa! You’ve got yourself a flower chain that can be hung anywhere e.g wall.

3. HANGING POTS

Instead of just the usual potted flowers/plants sitting at your balcony, why not hang them! Grab some pots (preferably with handles), secure the sides and base with twine and add your favorite blooms or plants into the pot. Hang them at different height variation to create a visually tasteful look!

4. VASE/ARRANGEMENT

Find your favorite vase and place a bunch of flowers inside, or do an arrangement and place them anywhere – your side table, dinner party set up etc. and instantly, your space will light up!
