Trying to appropriately fill in certain spaces in your home can be difficult and sometimes we just need a little inspiration. What should I do with this ledge? And what about the space above those cabinets? And how about this large stair landing? And then there’s my high ceilings that I don’t know what to do with. Pictures and sconces can help to fill some gaps but sometimes just further highlight the size of the room. Silk flower arrangements are a great way to fill out your spaces and make them pop.

In today’s world there are many choices of silk flower arrangements that can provide just the right solution when you need to add depth, volume or just bring the height down to a manageable level without eliminating spaciousness. Here are some helpful examples:

Tops of Bookshelves: Similar to the entertainment center, finding silk flower arrangements that will seemingly draw out the length of the bookshelf is key. Also, depending on the available space, smaller, more delicate blossoms or greenery can be placed throughout open spaces on the shelves to give a completed and filled feeling to the entire bookshelf.

High Ceilings: Use artificial trees. They come in many species and variations to accommodate any size or height. Artificial palm trees are a particularly popular choice. Large, decorative wreaths are also a good solution, plus they are easily updated season by season. These items do a great job of adding warmth and a personal touch while reducing and often eliminating that sterile “big empty room” look.

Large Stairway Landings: With the use of a plant stand placed tight into the corner, depth and texture can easily be added to your staircase with a strategically place silk flower arrangement. For a more dramatic effect, place one stand to the far corner of the landing and another on the next step up at the opposite corner. Be sure the stands are the same height so the stair-height difference will be evident. An artificial tree is certainly another beautiful alternative you can use in this situation.

Artificial Flowers are great elements to add to just about any space. Be creative. Don’t be intimidated.

Remember…decorating doesn’t have to be intimidating but really should be fun. Experiment with different ideas. You’ll find that using combinations of beautiful silk flower arrangements, ledge gardens, small artificial plants, artificial grasses and greenery, decorative wreaths and even artificial trees will often add just the right touch to your special spaces.
