Add
Permanent Color to Indoor Environment with Silk Floral Arrangements
AUBURN, Sept. 14---Permanent
florals are an easy way to create an inviting environment and add
color to your décor. If you want to better the look of a room,
follow the lead of some of the best display designers who often use
upscale floral arrangements to make furniture look more expensive.
In addition to the
expected displays on end tables, dining tables and coffee tables,
florals can enhance other parts of the home. Consider floral swags
on walls and as window treatments, floral toppers on armoires and
wall sconces, hanging baskets, and willows and reeds in oversized
planters.
While florals can add
pizzazz to the décor, they can also be dust catchers, says Dr.
Carol Centrallo, Extension apparel and textile management specialist
with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System.
"When purchasing
floral arrangements, find out how to keep the arrangement clean and
be sure to save the instructions. Simply dusting is probably the
most common care method. To avoid circulating the dust in the house,
take the arrangement outside and gently shake or carefully dust
it."
