15 decor ideas with premium artificial flowers: the lookbook
Sometimes a list of visual ideas is more useful than an extensive guide. In this lookbook, we share 15 concrete interior design ideas with premium artificial flowers — for offices, hotels, restaurants, and retail. Each idea is structured so you can apply it directly to your own space, with a reference to matching bouquets from our Botané collection.
For the office
1. Reception statement
One dominant bouquet, 80 to 110 cm high, on the reception desk. Works best in a tall, slender vase, placed centrally rather than asymmetrically. Choose the main color element of your brand identity. Immediate effect: visitors perceive the space as well-maintained and purposefully styled.
2. Meeting room trio
Three compact arrangements in a row in the middle of the meeting table — works better than one large bouquet because it doesn't block the line of sight between participants. Keep each arrangement under 25 cm high. Ideal for spaces where many video calls are held.
3. Lounge coffee table
A low, wide composition on the coffee table in the lounge area. No tall stems — they "demand" attention when people want to relax. Work with natural shapes and muted tones. Perfectly suits Japandi interiors.
4. Canteen wall niche
Place a full, more colorful arrangement in a wall niche or on an open cabinet in the canteen. Here, it can be bolder than in workspaces — canteens are the "breathing space" of an office and tolerate more color and vibrancy.
5. Open workspace anchor point
In a large open workspace: one central elevated bouquet on a high table or console table. This functions as a visual anchor and breaks the monotony of rows of desks. Position it where most sightlines converge.
For the hotel
6. Lobby focal point
A spectacularly large bouquet in the lobby — preferably on a low round table that guests can walk around. Use at least 100 cm in diameter and sufficient height to make an impact even from a distance. This is your "Instagram moment".
7. Elevator hall accent
Between the elevators, a console table with a medium-sized bouquet of about 60 cm. Many hotels underestimate this moment — guests stand still here, so there's time to notice.
8. Room welcome bouquet
A small, elegant arrangement of 25 to 35 cm on the desk or nightstand in the room. Makes a huge difference to the first impression upon check-in. Keep it neutral in color to match any interior.
9. Bathroom single statement
One or two large flowers in a slender vase on the washbasin or by the bath. Not a full bouquet — too busy in the small space. One perfect flower (think peony or large rose) in a minimalist vase works amazingly well.
For restaurants and bars
10. Table arrangement per cover
A small, low arrangement of 12-15 cm high on each table. Keep it low enough so guests can see each other across the table. Work with one clear color family throughout the restaurant — this creates visual cohesion.
11. Bar statement
Behind the bar (on the shelf with bottles) or in front of the bar (in a tall, slender vase on the bar counter): one striking statement piece. Bars are dramatic spaces and tolerate drama in styling.
12. Entrance welcome
One large, full bouquet at the entrance or at the reservation stand. Works just like in hotels — it sets the first impression. Change these seasonally to give the restaurant a "living" feel.
For retail and showrooms
13. Display window detail
An arrangement in the display window as a seasonal accent — not as the main attraction. Works best as support for product presentation, not as competition. Keep it in line with your brand palette.
14. Cashier counter
A small, neat bouquet on or next to the cashier counter. People wait here while checking out — give them something beautiful to look at. Keep it compact and out of the way of transactions.
15. Fitting room
In more spacious fitting rooms (in high-end retail): one small bouquet on a shelf or in a corner. Makes the fitting experience a little more personal and elevates the perceived value.
How do you combine these ideas?
Not every idea suits every space. Our tip: choose a maximum of 3 to 5 styling moments per location and ensure they tell a cohesive story. A hotel with a statement lobby, hallway accents, and room welcome bouquets has more impact than ten disconnected arrangements.
To connect the different ideas, it helps to:
- Maintain one dominant color palette throughout the space (2 to 3 main colors maximum)
- Choose one style direction (classic, Japandi, modern-colorful) and stick with it consistently
- Not let one "WOW" spot compete with other busy arrangements
- Plan seasonal changes for all locations simultaneously for a uniform update moment
Tips for budget and planning
A few practical tips:
- Start small: begin with 3 to 5 key locations and expand based on what works
- Invest in vases: the vase determines 30% of the look — skimping on vases wastes the investment in beautiful bouquets
- Plan seasonal changes in advance: create an annual calendar with 4 change moments so it's not forgotten
- Document what works: take photos of successful arrangements; this helps with restyling after a seasonal change
