Flowers in Different Places

- Bank

A bank is a place for property business with simple decorations, showing its professional and rigorous services. Flowers on desks can soothe the emotions of guests and the staff and convey warmth and enthusiasm. In order to maintain a solemn and serious atmosphere, you can choose orchids, roses, lilies, hydrangeas, etc., with eucalyptus leaves enriching the overall shape. Besides, drought-tolerant plants that are easy to care for are also fine choices for banks or most of offices, such as green radish, pachira and sansevieria trifasciata. Note that banks, as indoor workplaces, are generally lack of natural light, so those plants that require adequate exposure should be avoided.

- Hotel

As a place supplying lodging, food service and social contact, a hotel needs luxurious and fancy floral designs for its lobby, reception, aisles, bathrooms... A unique floral design can not only play the role of decoration, but also bring nature to the inside of the hotel, which enable guests to relax, and to feel like being home. Due to the large number of guests in the hotel, it should be noted that safety is of paramount importance. Also, the color, shape and fragrance of flowers should match the hotel’s own style. In addition, the difficulties of follow-up maintenance needs to be taken into consideration too.

- Living Room

Unlike banks and hotels, living rooms usually has adequate sunshine, which means the most vigorous and flourishing flowers can be considered to show the host’s hospitality. Gerbera has a long flowering period and many colors so simple matching will make it eye-catching; the blooming peony brings magnificence and even celebratory air to the house; orchid is noble and elegant and requires more attention. It’s perfect with simple and modern style of decoration.

- Bedroom

The bedroom is a place where we get comfortable sleep and relax. As it’s generally smaller than the living room, the color, fragrance and shape of flowers should match the original atmosphere of the room. You may choose small and exquisite flowers and green plants that are easy to care for, such as succulents and cactus. Furthermore, some flowers are unsuitable for bedrooms: the fragrance of orchids might be over-exciting and even cause insomnia; tuberose will emit smell-stimulating particles at night, making patients with high blood pressure and heart disease uncomfortable; heavy exposure to mimosa can cause hair loss. And plants that absorb toxic chemicals, such as aloe, ivy and sansevieria trifasciata are appropriate in bedrooms.

Balloon Flower: symbolizing pure and eternal love.

- Banquet

On Western banquets, people usually choose long tables and the floral designs are always simple with light colors, such as white, pink and green. However, Chinese banquets tend to use round tables and there’s always one or two “top tables”. Flowers on the top tables can be large and  gorgeous and the others shall maintain the style.

- Meeting

Flowers on meetings must be simple and avoid affecting the solemn atmosphere. In addition to flowers and green plants, preserved flowers are popular in recent years and perfect for the conference room.
