Installing a flower wall at home can seem daunting, but it's easier than you think. Whether you want to make a bold statement or add a touch of elegance, a flower wall can transform any room into a blossoming oasis.
Creating a flower wall involves several steps. Here’s what you should do to achieve a visually pleasing result that is well-suited to your space.
Before you buy a single flower, take some time to plan your flower wall. Decide on the location, dimensions, and design. Consider how the colors and types of flowers will complement your room's existing decor. Sketching your design can be especially helpful.
Choose a place where your flower wall can command attention. Decide on the space where you'd like your flower wall. It could be a focal wall in the living room, a section of your home office, or even a backdrop for special occasions. Once you’ve finalized the location, choose the types and colors of flowers that fit your home decor and personal style. If you opt for real flowers, make sure they are relatively long-lasting and can thrive in the room's lighting conditions.
A flower wall can be a rewarding project. Before you begin, have the essential materials ready. You want to ensure your project runs smoothly. Here's a list of what you'll likely need:
Attach wall hooks to the area where the mesh grid or chicken wire will hang. Make sure these are secured properly to hold the weight of the flowers. Place the mesh grid or chicken wire to the wall hooks, ensuring it's taut and level.
Cut the stems at an angle for better water absorption if you're using real flowers. For artificial flowers, trim the stems to fit through the grid squares. Wrap floral wire around the base of the flower heads for additional support, especially if you're using real flowers.
Start inserting flowers through the holes in the mesh grid. If using floral wire, twist the wire behind the mesh to secure the flowers in place. You can also use floral tape for additional support. Insert leaves, foliage, or filler flowers between the main blooms for added texture and fullness.
Step back and examine the wall. Fill in any gaps and adjust the flowers as needed. Ensure each element is firmly attached to withstand gravity and any external factors like wind if it's outdoors.
Remember, if you're using real flowers, they will need regular care. Spritz them with water to keep them fresh, and replace any blooms that start to wilt. If you're using silk flowers, occasional dusting is enough for upkeep. Either way, inspect your flower wall regularly to ensure all elements are secure and looking their best.
Transform your space. Install a flower wall and create a serene and inviting space. No matter its purpose—whether it’s a permanent fixture or a temporary installation for a special occasion, a flower wall brings life and beauty into your home.
