Thinking of sprucing up your home with some maintenance-free flowers? Check this list out.
Dried flowers have been all the rage lately, and it's not hard to see why.
Aside from looking gorgeous by your window or bedside table, these maintenance-free blooms offer a lot of perks -- especially for those who don't have a green thumb.
They require no light or water, and they're perfect for any room to give that instant “oomph” you're looking for.
They're also better for the environment because it means less transport for flowers in temperature-controlled conditions, and they last far longer too.
In fact, dried flowers can last years with care making them a less wasteful option.
And unlike fake flowers, they're 100% natural and biodegradable, so you don't have to worry about your carbon footprint on the planet.
Where to buy it?
A quick search in Google will give you a lot of options to choose from. However, we recommend looking on places like Instagram, where you'll find many small independent florists who specialize in dried flowers and sell a range of varieties by the stem so you can mix and match.
