They say home is where the heart is, but it’s also where there’s a big bunch of flowers sitting on top of your kitchen bench.

Like most ladies, I enjoy a big bunch of flowers or a vibrant collection of greenery in my home. As cliche as this may sound, a bunch of flowers always brightens up any room. These days its not just about the flowers making the statement; the vase, pouch or pot and stand is just as important.

Vases

It’s time to forget what you have seen in the marketplace for vases. The new and improved is here, and we like it! Flowers naturally lend themselves to a vase but much to my dismay, a really special vase is a bit harder to find these days. Fortunately some of the best vase designers are right on our door step. For example Helen Bayley from Lovestar is your go-to-lady if you’re a lover of colour, celebs, glitter, confetti. It’s basically the mardi-gras version of vases.

Pouches

Pouches are among one of the new-comers to the market for flowers and plants. You could say they have seriously grown in popularity of the past 12 months, often showing up in blogs and mags. The colours vary and you’re not just limited to just plants; use your pouch for nick-nacks or even a cute recycling bin.
