Using plastic flowers for decoration at home might seem like a tacky proposition, but you’ll be surprised to know how beautiful they look when used strategically.
In this blog, we will look at the 20 ideas on how to use artificial flowers for home decoration and inject the space with a breath of fresh air. Let’s get going.
If you want to ace the art of using artificial flower decoration at home, mix it up with fresh flower arrangements as shown above. As contradictory as it may seem, the two types of flower arrangements pair quite nicely and give the room a fresh yet antiquey vibe, all at the same time. As a pro tip, use fresh green plants all around your living room and artificial flower arrangements as statement pieces throughout the bedroom. Also, remember to brush off the dust from your artificial flower arrangement, or you risk making the set-up look outdated.
To spruce up your succulents, you need to invest in the right kind of vase. Take, for example, the golden-finish vase shown above. It adds a sense of richness to the collection of succulents and can lift up the whole vibe of the space it is kept in. As a handy tip, we suggest frequenting night markets or flea markets within your neighbourhood. You are bound to find old collectables and even time-period pieces if you are lucky! You can also add artificial moss to this set-up and create a mini-garden for yourself with as little effort as possible.
Perhaps one of the most innovative flower decor arrangements on our list, consider the image shown above. You can create an arrangement with fresh leaves and artificial flowers. The rounded leaf gives this arrangement a nice touch and makes it look one-of-a-kind. The idea is to flex your creative muscle and let your imagination take over. Use the flowers and leaves of choice and shape them into different designs as needed. For added effect, use mud and tiny rocks to complete the look.
If you Google: decoration flowers artificial, you are bound to get many ideas for artificial flower stems of different colours across the spectrum. However, the buck doesn’t stop there. You can up your flower arrangement game with artificial succulents that come with beautiful and exotic-looking flowers. Not all succulents need to be boring, dull, and thorny, but only if you spend time choosing the right one.
Our personal favourite on this list, this oriental artificial flower, is a statement piece for any home. The burnt orange and rust colour combination are enough to add a glam quotient to your bedroom or living room. The trick with artificial flower arrangements is using the right kind of design skills and raw materials (aka flowers) to pave the way for an impeccable decor setting.
If you are not someone who will spend the time to water your flowers every day, consider adding artificial flowers to your bedside. As a thumb rule, pick artificial flowers that look seasonal and local. You can take a real flower as a sample when buying artificial flowers and use that to create your own mood board. This will make your arrangement look real and authentic and help reflect your personality via your decor taste. As a bonus, it will help impress your guests with your Monica-style flower arrangement finesse and skills.
Another trick that works well with artificial flowers is going for bigger and bolder flowers (as opposed to the smaller ones). You can place these flowers as is, in vases, or you can place them in a bowl of water and create a floating artificial flower decor arrangement. Place a few aroma candles all around, and you’re good to go. This arrangement works perfectly well for special occasions such as Diwali.
Even when it comes to using artificial flowers, you can laser-focus on gathering beautiful varieties. You don’t have to settle for ‘less.’ In other words, don’t go for shrivelled artificial flowers that look dusty and worn out after a couple of days. Play with eye-popping colours. Go for varied shapes. One handy piece of advice: Always place your flowers in a washable vase or pot so that you can just plop it under running water and literally wash away all the dust particles in seconds. You are welcome.
If you have a low-seating ‘chill’ area in your home, you need to add an artificial flower setup. Take a look at the image above; the addition of flowers adds a sense of liveliness to the space. It helps exudes a calming vibe and ensures people will actually spend quality time together. Remember that for any kind of artificial flower decor to work; you need to supplement it with the right kind of lighting and seating.
Truth be told, a large part of the beauty of your artificial flower arrangement depends on the type of vases you use. For instance, as seen in the image above, using a mix of contemporary and glass vases gives the arrangement a luxe feel. Keep experimenting with the positioning of the arrangement to give your room a fresh feel. A little swapping of vases can do wonders to the space and help you drive a makeover with zero effort.
You can also go for wooden vases with a soft finish to elevate your artificial flower arrangement setup. These kinds of artificial flower vases can be used to punctuate your home’s cosy and warm nooks and corners. They can also double up as centrepieces on your dining table or in the hall entryway. As a pro tip, go for longer artificial flowers to adorn your vases.
If you need real-life proof on how to use colourful jars and pair it with artificial flowers, take a look at the image above. This gorgeous midnight blue vase perfectly contrasts with the off-white artificial flowers. Adding a jute-style or jaali table placement mat completes the look. You can place other trinket items or memorabilia to further enhance the character of the space.
If you wish to go for artificial flowers that will work all year round, it makes sense to opt for pista-coloured or pastel green-grey shades, as shown above. This type of flower arrangement is ideal for all seasons. You can fill the vase with softer grains, sand, pebbles, or any other softer material. A mason jar along with artificial moss and weeds works well too!
If you are looking for inspiration for living room interior design, consider the image above. You can place artificial bamboo plants on one side and fresh monstera plants on the other to give it a juxtapositional effect. What’s also worth noting here is the use of lilac or soft lavender furnishings, which adds to the elegant look and feel.
Here’s a tried and tested idea for using artificial flowers for wall decoration:Use a blend of macrame and artificial long ferns and plants to give your living room a bohemian-inspired touch. Take a look at the image above: The oversized cane chair, jute plant vase, and ultra-cushiony floor mat add layers of texture, character, and depth to the artificial flower decor setup.
If you love all things monotone, why not consider this example shown above? From the white cane chair to the artificial long leaves within the jute planter, this flower decor setting is worth emulating. As a pro tip, you can also place a ladder against the wall and use a long stream of artificial flowers as ‘fake creepers.’
If you want to literally highlight your artificial plants under a ‘spotlight,’ here’s an example that’s legendary! If you have a side table in one corner of your home, place artificial flowers and plants all around it. By adding an ultra-soft rug under the table, you can make the setting even more beautiful. The beauty, however, lies in adding a touch of ‘green’–by way of artificial plants in and around the living room. These plants and artificial flowers stand out beautifully.
Here’s another super easy artificial flower decor you can get inspired from. You can buy golden ferns, as shown here, which will definitely remind onlookers of a Lion’s mane. What makes this setup striking is the placement of the bottle green cabinet under the exposed white brick walls.
To make the best use of your artificial flower decor, you can always add fresh fruits (such as lemon, in this case). This setup can freshen up any room, and the use of fruits cum flowers is the best twist! Along the same lines, you can use artificial roses and apples, artificial sunflowers and oranges, and the like.

When it comes to making artificial flower arrangements, there’s plenty of room to experiment. You can use different types of artificial flowers, greens, and vase types to build a flower arrangement that’s uniquely you. For example, use coffee beans at the bottom of the vase to get a sweet smell as well as a great texture.
To make flower balloons, you’ll need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Inflate the balloon to about 2 inches from each side.
Step 2: Twist the balloon into a small fold (about 4 inches) and keep repeating till you get five rounds. Straighten out these twists so that you get flower petals.
Step 3: The next step is making the stem. You can use another green coloured balloon and inflate it. Make sure to leave about 1/2 inch of the inflated balloon at the end. To attach this to the flower balloon, make a 1-inch twist at the nozzle end of the balloon. You should be able to join this basic twist to the centre of the balloon. Voila, you’re done!
