Go all out with tulips!
After a long grey winter, we often start to crave colour, lots of colour. With tulips, you can bring a cheerful explosion of colours into your home with a bang. This will bring even the most subdued interior to life. It’s as if the sun suddenly shows its face!
Playing with colour
There’s no such thing as over the top. You can combine any colours you like, like sunny yellow with bold red and deep purple. With two-coloured tulips, your bouquet becomes even more cheerful. If this is all a little too much for you, why not mix some bright colours with more muted hues for a slightly calmer look? Or you could combine pastel shades with a single bright colour accent.
Colourful mix
When you think of a colourful mix, needless to say, a bouquet in bright colours springs to mind. But there are plenty of other possibilities. Wake up your inner flower stylist and get started. Try creating a colourful palette in a collection of vases: cut the flowers and divide them casually between the vases. Display your filled vases grouped together on the table or distribute them around the room. Or, why not, throughout your entire house!
Keep on varying
Over the course of the tulip season, you could try something different each time. Alternate a cheeky variegated mix in a cheerful, striped vase with a ton-sur-ton bouquet in a tall, glass vase, or indeed in a variety of small vases. And don’t forget the tulip mono bouquet, because they are gorgeous too!
Tips & ideas
- Create a mix of colours as well as shapes, for example ‘plain’ and fringed tulips. A sight for sore eyes!
- A cheerful bunch of tulips is a wonderful gift for the women who add colour to your life, think Women’s Day and Mother’s Day!
- Put a fun bouquet in the kitchen, because you probably spend a fair bit of time there. Be careful though… don’t put the flowers next to the fruit bowl. Ripening fruit emits ethylene, an ageing substance that speeds up wilting. And of course, you want to be able to enjoy your flowers for a long time!
