Silk Flowers Make Decorating Easy

Silk Plant Flowers

Please note that no plants were harmed in writing this post thanks to the wonderful folks at Silk Plants Direct who provided with the products mentioned. All opinions are 100% my own.

I am the worst person in the world to leave a plant with. I don’t have any sort of green thumb….at all! I kill plants! They come to my home to die and that is really putting it nicely. That being said I love plants and flowers as well as using them to decorate with. A beautiful vase of flowers on the dining room table can set the whole mood for the room. For a plant killer like me that leaves me with only one option….silk flowers.

Lavender

Silk flowers allow me to decorate in any way that I want to without actually harming any plants.  Silk Plants Direct sent me this amazing Lavender plant and even though it is my first time ever actually having Lavender I really like it. The color is amazing and there is just something soothing about it. The metal bucket is included which really added to the country chic look. As you can see from the picture at the very top I put it on a table between two candles and it looks amazing.

That table is behind the couch but also my desk is directly across from it so whenever I turn around I get that soothing scene. It really has made the area better. After seeing the quality of the Lavender I am certain that I will be using Silk Plants Direct to get something for my dining room and bathroom. I was thinking of doing something larger like some  Fire Retardant Artificial Trees around the fireplace. I think it would brighter up the area nicely.

  1. Wow, that looks real. I kill any house plants, no green thumb here. I like your choice in plant selection: lavender has nice color.

  2. This plan look pretty real which is nice. I’ve never tried having plants so I have no idea if they would survive.

  3. I do not have a green thumb either! I am not good with house plants. But I love silk flowers and use them to give my home a nice look! I want to get some new silk flowers for Fall!

  4. I need to check out this site! I love silk flowers, and have some nice arrangements I like to change them up every now and then. It is esp good for ppl who don’t have enough light or access to the outside that having real growing flowers isn’t practical.

  5. Those silk flowers look incredibly real! My beef with fake flowers is that they always look fake, although fake flowers look better than dead ones. 🙂 I think I might have to get some of these!

  6. I’m with you…even my outdoor flowers didn’t do real well this year. Lavender silk flowers that look real sounds like a great option and does look super

  7. I don’t have a green thumb either, but I love the look of plants. I am so intrigued by “silk” plants. I bet they look realistic.

  10. Fellow plant killer here! I can’t believe that is a silk! I never considered silks because I thought they all looked like fake flowers. This has me really interested because I love the look of plants! I’m going to see what they have!

  11. We don’t have any plants either because our cat eats them & so many house plants are toxic. When I was first out on my own, we had a fake silk palm tree that we decorated every holiday with lights- loved it! I should do that again!

  13. My joke is always that I have a brown thumb because I kill real plants. I like having the look of plants and use some “fake” plants in the house. I love the look of this lilac.

  14. I enjoy decorating with faux flowers/plants. You can’t beat maintenance-free! They are plenty of truly realistic looking options out there so there is something for everyone.

  18. I like live plants, but there a re several areas in my home where there is not enough light to keep one. I am going to have to try out a few silk plants in those areas.
