If you’ve been itching to give your space a spring reset, florals are an easy—and seasonally appropriate—place to start. A vase of budding blooms on the kitchen counter or a lush arrangement on a bedside table is an opportunity to bring the outdoors in, and add a layer of liveliness to your home in the process.

From a few whimsical wildflower stems to a full-blown colorful bouquet, botanicals are a quick, simple way to install a pop of personality and a hit of nature in one fell swoop—and you might be surprised just how dramatically they can elevate a room.

All that being said, there are obvious downsides to fresh-cut arrangements: as beautiful as they may be, they’re just not long for this world. That’s where dried and artificial plants and florals can come into play and liven up your home without the worry.

Speaking of worrying, it should also be noted that faux flowers have come a long (long!) way from the tacky silk blooms of yesteryear. It’s possible to showcase beautiful and realistic arrangements without the mess or maintenance thanks to small, sustainably-minded producers like Afloral. Combining natural beauty and modern minimalism, the female-founded team behind Afloral believes “the joy of nature should never fade” through their selection of permanent botanicals and hassle-free stems.
