Decorating for the home in Edmonton is all about balance.
The winters are long and dark, the summers are sunlit and vibrant, and both play a big role in the way we experience the world — both outside and in. And while there may not be a way to match the natural energy of the seasons, there are easy ways to keep your decor in sync. A convenient flower delivery (Edmonton-based, of course) is a surefire way to bring the outside in, all year long.
Creating a Festive Feeling When the Edmonton Winter Is Raging Outside
If you are from or live in Edmonton, there’s a high likelihood that you’ve experienced the phenomenon “winter that lasts forever.” And let’s not kid ourselves, during those winters, a positive interior mood is a necessity for your well-being. Luckily, a cozy, make-the-best-of-it vibe is easy to achieve with fresh local blooms that boast a festive colour palette and a wintry texture. Deep reds, oranges, purples, and evergreens do wonders for the visual and emotional warmth of an indoor space. Remember: you’re going to be spending the majority of those long dark nights inside, so keeping a great-smelling, great-looking bouquet is smart living.
And purchasing winter-hardy in-state flowers ensures that your floral bouquets maintain their beauty. In addition to the Edmonton farmers’ market flowers, there is a lasting benefit to displaying winter-friendly flowers in your home, as the flowers and greenery last longer in the typically heated indoor air. Small is the ticket in winter. No one wants to overcrowd a one-bedroom apartment with a floral arrangement fit for a friar and his best buds. Candles, wooden accents, and other textures help the overall bouquet and the surfaces that the bouquet sits on from overwhelming your space.
Flowing Open When the Time Comes for an Edmonton Summer
Everything’s a little sunnier in Edmonton during the summertime. A little lighter. A little more carefree. How can you not reflect and perpetuate the humidity-free, 20-degree, 15 hours of sun that the city’s summers are known for? Grabbing yourself some in-state flowers from one of your local flower shops in Edmonton is how!
Large arrangements that encapsulate the sunnier side of life are encouraged. Again: flowers that our farmers in Edmonton produce naturally. Sunflowers, daisies, soft hues. Everything light and bright is fair game. Placing these larger in-state flowers in the living room and near windows where the sun can expand the room and showcase the arrangement. Also: greens. The flowers are already singing summer, but greenery so fresh you can almost see the dew is one quick step, and also one well worth taking. Topping up your summer mini-flower garden weekly accomplishes two things: a) having new, bright flowers regularly, b) having the airiness of your summer space play up its colours, not its weight.
The Decorator’s Seasonal State of Mind
The best seasonal decorators always keep things in perspective. You don’t have to carpet bomb your space with sunflowers to celebrate winter. Or exclude all New Year’s Eve colours just because it’s too sunny to stay inside this summer. But what you can do is decorate with an awareness of what makes this season something worth embracing. Winter? Find a cozy basement and keep it warm. Summer? Relax.
By choosing and combining locally grown flowers and specific styles, Edmonton residents are able to have homes that create feelings of warmth and embrace the raw, transferable energy of the world outside, no matter how sunny.
