5 Ways To Use Flowers To Make A Gray Room Bright

 I love gray rooms. In fact, I love gray anything. I painted my kitchen a pale gray. Nearly everyday I wish I'd had the nerve to go a few shades darker. But I was afraid that on rainy days it would be too depressing.

But when I began adding touches of brightly colored flowers and accessories, I realized that gray didn't have to mean drab.

Here are 5 Ways To Use Flowers To Make A Gray Room Bright

1) Buy random yet unusual flowers and place them in a simple vase.  At Fly Me To The Moon Florists, we sell unique flowers by the stem.  Make your own  work of floral art or ask the florist to do it for you.

2) Grab a simple vase and a bunch of flowers. Place them by your bed and you'll feel like you 're in a hotel.

3) Match your flowers to your decor. Pick a color, re-cover a few pillows or buy some new ones. Then get some flowers to match.

4) Go for a monochromatic look. Choose one flower, one color and place them in a vase of water. If you're not sure how to care for fresh flowers read this post.

I am drawn to dark colors, too. However, the winter is so sad for me, I don't think I should paint my rooms dark. I love the idea of matching flower colors to your room.
