Flowers are one of the recurrent elements in the decoration of our homes. Since ancient times human being has used them to brighten the corners of their homes and events. But the truth is that nowadays, because of the internet and magazines, we do not need to be interior decoration experts to find elegant and original ideas for floral décor. So much to create surprising vases with flowers or centrepieces as in other forms that surely had not even crossed your mind.

Here are some flowers that you can select for your home so that you can also enjoy them whenever you want. In continuation, we show you the ones we like the most.

To Decorate Tables
Although many people choose floral design and arrangements to decorate their tables when they celebrate something special, the truth is that the petals are perfect for that too. They can spread on the table and fill it with vitality and colour. But if it is a romantic dinner, we can also give a touch of passion to the table, the floor and the bed with rose petals. In this way, we can decorate the house in a carefree way.

In Water
Surely more than once you have seen flowers floating in the water. The floating florets are a really original idea to decorate a table and a magnificent complement to the candles. Of course, keep in mind that not all flowers are suitable for this purpose. The best ones are those of large size and very strong, such as gardenias, peonies or orchids. If they are very small or very delicate, you run the risk of not holding the whole evening and end up losing their petals, which will give a horrible effect to the center of the table.

Flowers Inside Ice Cubes
Are you organising an evening for your family or friends and want to surprise them? You can prepare a delicious cocktail and decorate them with ice cubes that have a flower inside. And the truth is that it is not complicated at all. You just have to put the flower or the petal in a cube mold and fill it with water. Afterwards, you should wait a few hours until it freezes. If you want the effect to be even more beautiful and the flower can be seen in all its splendour, use distilled water, as it is more transparent when it freezes. Do not worry. Despite what many people believe, distilled water is drinkable. In fact, water is commercialised, due to their low concentration of salts, are practically distilled water.

In this way, you will give the cocktail a unique touch with which you will surprise all your guests. You can be sure that everyone will ask you how you did it.

In Drinks
We can also add flowers to our drinks without freezing them. In fact, there are recipes made with flowers that are known as floral syrups, for example, orange blossom or rose water. This type of syrup can be combined perfectly with any alcohol that we like. The ideal to give them a touch of flavour and colour. One of the most popular is the Moet Chandon with rosewater syrup, which can be decorated with flowers and if you like, also with the ice cubes that we mentioned before.

As A Detail At Parties
If the flower in the drink does not finish convincing you, you can buy some flowers and give them as a gift to your guests as they arrive home. In this way, you will get a unique and original experience and remember forever the evening.

As a suggestion, you can choose a different flower for each of them depending on the relationship you have with them. As you already know, each flower has its own meaning, so through them, you can transmit a beautiful message to each one. Of course, if you are not sure that everyone knows what each flower and each colour means, you can decorate them with a note in which you reveal it and the reason why you have chosen that particular flower for each one.

As you can see, the flowers are not only ideal for placing them in a vase on the living room table, but they can have many more uses. Surely after reading all these ideas, you are impatient to put them into practice. We encourage you to do so and tell us how it was for you. Have you ever given flowers another use?
