“The rain to the wind said, you push, and I’ll pelt.
They so smote the garden bed that flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged, though not dead. I know how the flowers felt.”
Robert Frost so aptly tells how rain and flowers, when they come together, are poetry. It is something that’s not just on paper but feels beautifully echoing within your walls.
As the monsoon clouds gather and the scent of petrichor fills the air, you know your home needs the same vibe as the world outside the window. Monsoon season brings instant relief from the sweltering heat and the urge to try something beyond pakoras. It’s that time of the year to revel in the calm and comfort of the weather and revamp your home space with colours and renewal.
Whether you are setting the mood for a cosy afternoon chai or creating a serene retreat after a rain-soaked drive, let some flower decor add to the seasonal charm. Here are some stellar flower decor ideas for homes this monsoon.
1. A Welcoming Entrance:
Nothing is more striking than a great entrance. Flowers are the best way to make a first impression here. You can pick a large one in a sophisticated design and fill it up with pink or blue orchids- the colour that best complements your home aesthetic. Take a good-sized vase that sits well on a decorative table. Moreover, you can even place a brass or ceramic bowl and let the petals of rose, marigold or rajnigandha float on it. Add a few drops of essential oil and floating candles to reflect the softness of rainy afternoons.
2. Rain-Kissed Windowsill Vases:
Let the wind of the cosy weather carry along fragrances and hues as they slide into your room through the windows. Monsoon often blurs the world outside with misted glass and grey skies. Brighten up those frames with sleek vases loaded with linear stem-like monsoon flowers such as lilies, gladioli, and tulips. Merge the tones of green and white for a serene colour palette, or keep a contrast with bold hues of yellow and fuchsia. A fleeting art right there as the raindrops race down your windowsill.
Let your home bloom with beauty and scent! Discover soothing fragrances to create the perfect rainy-day retreat.
3. Take a Flower Ride to Your Kitchen:
If your kitchen still feels like holding a bit of summer to it, flowers are a nice idea to bring the coolness and freshness of the monsoon. Let your cooking and meal sessions feel like a breeze, with glass jars with blooms on countertops or table centrepieces. Arrange your flowers with fresh green leaves and foliage nestled among some wild varieties of blooms. Asters, snapdragons, chrysanthemums, pampas, astilbe, and eucalyptus are a must-try!
4. Floral Chandeliers for Intimate Spaces:
Let your ceiling be with romance and reverie. How about a floral chandelier suspended across the ceiling above your dining table? Incorporate baby breaths, eucalyptus, and pastel roses and have a dreamy lunch with your family and guests that uplifts your dinner table conversations. Plus, you can also build a cosy reading nook with floral chandeliers in a wild and airy arrangement of monsoon flowers. Lit a warm pendant bulb or a fairy light. The overhead blooms can magically transform any indoor moment into a monsoon musing.
5. Monsoon-Themed Flower Bar:
Monsoon is about long conversations and slow afternoons. Are you planning to host a weekend brunch or a tea party at home to enjoy the spirit of the season? One of the best flower decor ideas is to set up a monsoon-themed flower bar where guests can build their own mini bouquets. Sounds interesting and unique, right? Keep seasonal blooms like cosmos, gerberas, and roses and provide silk ties and handmade paper wraps. What a whimsical approach to allow the fragrance and simplicity of monsoon flowers to become shared experiences!
