Reasons why I added Faux Lily Flowers in my home decor and places where I like to place them.

A Lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti 

The reason why I am head over heels for Lilies is that their innocent shades symbolize purity, righteousness, and fertility. They give me hopes of a brighter tomorrow, a rebirth of a new and better future, a light of virtue. The Lily flower has around 80 to 100 species with minor color differences.  

Lilies as decorative flowers 

Lilies have been used for centuries for their pretty colors and beautiful patterns. They are a true wonder of nature and would be used for thousands of years to come. Fresh Lilies are common for decoration but so are faux Lily flowers. Faux flowers are made of synthetic material rather than natural or farm-grown.

Why do I prefer faux flowers over fresh ones?

I have staked some legit reasons why I prefer Faux flowers over fresh ones and are as follows:

  • You can avoid any allergies to flowers and still decorate your homes. 
  • Faux Lilies or roses won’t wilt, fade out or lose their appearance over time. 
  • Faux flowers are super easy to maintain. You just have to clean out the dust over them from time to time and that’s it. No sunlight or water is needed. 
  • You can buy one bunch of faux Lilies one time and keep them for months to decorate your home. 
  • The overall cost of keeping faux flowers is super less as compared to fresh ones. I am all about saving money on extra shenanigans so you’re in luck. 
  • With faux flowers you get the freedom of decorating every nook and cranny, every edge and curve. You can even attach these flowers with taps on the walls. 
  • Faux flowers especially Lilies can be decorated with beads and glitter of golden and silver to give gleaming and shining flowers. 

How can you use Lilies to decorate your home? 

I would love to share some of the ideas I found useful using faux Lilies. I suggest them to all my clients and hopefully, you would find them helpful too. 

As the centerpieces of your dining tables

Magnificent and lovely Lilies decorated in a marvelous and stylish vase combine to make an awesome decorative item. Believe me! it would attract all the attention towards itself. I would suggest placing it on the dinner table as a centerpiece because that’s where important talks happen. You gotta have a good view to have a good conversation. The following idea would increase the whole aesthetic of your dining room and I am sure you will receive many compliments. 

Using faux Lilies to complement the decor theme 

Taping up faux Lilies in a bunch in one place or one by one in a row would make a great decorative pattern. I would suggest this decoration pattern for the lounge. Especially the corners and the edges. The white blends perfectly with the background of all-white walls. White on white combination is heavenly! don’t you agree? I am going to let you in on my little secret, a 101 of styling that most people miss. The use of elements that are not apparent to make a style statement. For example, wood and white are a common combination. So without using obvious objects like a wooden table and white sofas, I would use wooden walls and white Lilies to make this point. This way I have turned a decoration item to tie the theme of a place so it doesn’t look out of the place. These are some tricks you can use to be apparent and still not be apparent. 

Keeping Lilies as decoration pieces in celebrations

If they are not being used in celebrations, then there is no use for these Lilies at all. Faux Lilies are used extensively in birthday parties, candlelight dinners, anniversary parties, weddings, and all kinds of celebrations. These Lilies would increase the aesthetic of any place by just being themselves, simply elegant, and super cute!.

DIY lamp of faux Lilies and fairy lights

Combining faux Lilies with fairy lights is an exquisite combination. Being new and unique it would turn out perfectly. I honestly love working with fairy lights because of their economic rates. You would be in awe of how they give out tiny bursts of glow and light up everything they come in contact with. They work on minimum electricity and light up any place. If you want to showcase your flowers with fairy lights, it would add something extra to make your decoration stand out. This decor will stay like this for months and years to come. It will get you the cutest DIY lamp that you can keep anywhere in your home. (You guys are the lucky ones with whom I am sharing this new idea, fresh out of my mind). 

Randomly placing bouquets of faux Lilies

In addition to some detailed and designated places, the beauty of faux flowers is that they can be added to any place. I find it ah-mazingg! that they can decorate any spot. Be it on the side table, on the top of the fireplace, on the study table in a cute vase, on the kitchen counter, or on the side of a flat-screen TV. I would love to see the white, creamy, and pink tones of these flowers in my home as decoration items.

Combining faux Lilies with other faux flowers

I love to go all white for the purity and innocence of these flowers. But repeating the same color palette goes boring soon. So what I like to do is use a super awesome color combination. I like combining Lilies with faux roses, sunflowers, and hello..? Some greenery for sure. Decorate the color combination with Pearls and voila, an amazing and one-of-a-kind decorative item at your hands. If you are not a fan of different colors mixed, go for all white and green.
