Flowers are a sure-fire way to make your rooms more visually interesting – particularly if you try to incorporate points of contrast within your arrangements.

For example, try breaking up sight lines within a room by placing bunches of differing heights within the same space or by mixing up your blooms within a single arrangement.

“The most interesting arrangements often use an asymmetric approach, using a variety of stems cut at different lengths,” explains Chanel de Kock, UK country manager at floral inspiration website funnyhowflowersdothat.

“Try combining yarrow and oxtail daisies for pretty texture, and then add clashes of bold colour with sweeping freesias, alstroemerias and a few long stems of allium to elongate the bunch.”

Mixing up your vases can also add a sense of playfulness to your space.

“Try combining different materials in grouped arrangements,” suggests Chanel. “Contrast pastel ceramics and coloured glass with plastic, rattan and even granite, for striking results.”

If you’re more of a house plant kind of person, make sure you go big.

“To add personality to a room, choose planters with bold patterns and prints,” says Chanel.

“There are so many interesting voluminous plant pots available at the moment, particularly in softer shades that really help to add contrast and really show off your plant.”
