Putting decorative pieces at home can brighten the entire area, but it can sometimes make or break the home design and may end up being too costly. As of 2016's latest trends, putting up antique center pieces or decorative pieces are no longer an option to most homeowners. Using flowers as the centerpiece is making a comeback and Lush Home and Houzz websites gave out tips on which flowers to use to make the room bright and lively.
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are more popular during spring, as they give out a fresh clean look. Though they would easily wilt after being harvested, keep them hydrated to extend their "shelf life." Placing them on long narrow vases keeps them fresh longer.
Anemone
These elegant spring flowers would look good in a shabby Chic or rustic home design. It adds a touch of class and it comes in different variety. It gives a romantic, elegant feel into the room. Anemone would look good on soft colored ceramic vases or pitchers.
Cherry Blossom
The sweet scented flowers can turn a plain room into an elegantly designed masterpiece. The flowers bloom with a variety of colors ranging from white to pink. They would look good on tall vases and huge jars that can hold their height.
Cotton
Though cotton may be too far out, it can actually be used as a centerpiece in the living room. It can make a long lasting flower arrangement since it does not easily wither. They can either be turned into a wreath or you can display the stems by placing it on a glass vase. Cotton can last for more than a year which is ideal for homeowners that are always on the go.
