If you'd like to get some faux flowers for your home, these tips could be useful.

Mix silk flowers with plastic ones

If you're hoping to use these faux flowers to decorate your home for a long time, then it's worth purchasing at least a few silk ones, as these are usually more realistic, both in terms of their appearance and texture, as faux flowers are made from plastic. However, if you want to get a large volume of artificial flowers and buying lots of expensive silk ones is beyond your budget, you should consider purchasing a mixture of silk and plastic ones for each bouquet that you plan to make.

This will allow you to have a few showstopping silk ones in each bouquet along with some more affordable plastic ones that will fill out the arrangement. The silk ones will enhance the beauty of the bouquets, provided you ensure that the ones you decide to buy in this material are either larger in size or more vivid in colour than the plastic ones. For example, you could purchase some silk faux pink orchids and combine them with some mini plastic daises in between them; in a bouquet like this, the vibrant and comparatively large orchids would stand out and be the most noticeable flower variety in the arrangement.

Consider having a permanent wreath made for your front door

One of the wonderful things about faux flowers is how robust they are; a well-made, high-quality faux flower arrangement or wreath can last a while and can remain in good condition in many different environments. With this in mind, it might be worth not only buying lots of single stem faux flowers to create indoor arrangements but also having your florist make an all-season wreath with some faux flowers, that you can use to decorate your front door.

Whilst most people associate door wreaths with Christmas, this decorative item can add a touch of beauty to a plain exterior door and if you pick the right colours, can look seasonally appropriate all year round. This could be a good option if you don't love the colour of your door but cannot, or do not want to repaint it, as the wreath will be a beautiful distraction from the door's unattractive colour. If you choose this option, you should tell the florist that you're putting the wreath on an exterior door so that they can help you to select faux flowers and faux greenery for it that will be water and UV ray resistant.
