Dried flowers have really become a staple in home decor — and for good reason. They last for months, need no maintenance and bring a natural, raw look that suits both minimalist and colourful styles. Here's how to style them beautifully.
Why dried flowers?
Unlike fresh bouquets, dried flowers don't wilt. They need neither water nor sunlight, and a lovely bunch of pampas grass or dried wheat can last well over a year. That makes them a sustainable and budget-friendly choice that's also easy to live with.
Choose the right vase
Dried flowers often have long, airy stems, so a large vase with a bit of weight works best — it won't topple, even with a big bouquet. Since no water's needed, you can happily go for a ceramic vase or a decorative animal-shaped vase without worrying about how watertight it is.
Height and proportions
A good rule of thumb: the bouquet can be around one and a half times as tall as the vase. A lower small vase suits short, gathered bouquets, while tall branches and pampas really come into their own in a floor vase or a tall vase on the sideboard.
Styling tips
Keep the colour palette calm — dried flowers look their best in natural, dusty tones. Mix different textures (soft tufts, stiff stalks, delicate branches), and let the bouquet be a little asymmetrical for a natural look. Fancy a splash of colour? There are coloured varieties too.
