Grab a free farmhouse vase filler from nature, like fern fronds or freshly picked roses. Or, if you’re looking to show off your pride for your country, try placing a mini flag inside a vase.

Seasonal Farmhouse Vase Filler

One of the easiest ways to refresh a vase is to add real flowers. They’re not only a treat for the eyes, but their sweet scent can add a touch of freshness to the room. This full bouquet uses hydrangea and eucalyptus accompanied by candles to get a luxurious look. To get your vase to appear full and lush, considering purchasing two bouquets to fill it out.

To make your rose blooms last as long as possible, use bottles water. Or let your vase with tap water sit overnight so the chlorine dissipates. Finally, mix in a bit of sugar before placing your flowers inside.

Of course, you don’t have to keep your flowers confined to one vase either. Try spreading them among multiple vessels to create a larger display. This is also an excellent method if you are using a grouping of different vases—the same flowers in all of them can help the setup look instantly cohesive.

A Splash of Sunshine

Often when I think of flowers in vases, my mind tends to spring to bouquets with multiple florals. However, sometimes less is more. For a fresh and punchy feel, consider using just one or two large flowers in a smaller vase instead. This display that showcases dreamy blue hues adds some contrast with bright yellow sunflowers.

Matching the tones of your vase filler to the existing decor in the room is a great idea to ensure that it blends. These sprigs draw on the warm brown tones while also adding contrast to the bold black vase.

Faux Flowers in Farmhouse Vase

If you don’t want to go with real flowers due to allergies, pets, or other reasons, faux flowers can look just as fierce! Just be sure to dust them every so often since dust on fake flowers makes them look washed out.

The Rule of 3

Another benefit of using a chunky flower is that it doesn’t steal the show. You can place other objects around your vase, and they will still get noticed. Try using two smaller items around the vase to create visual balance. When in doubt, remember that groupings of three objects tends to be visually appealing.

Beyond your vase filler, you can also spruce up a minimal glass vase with simple additions to the exterior. For example, this glass vase uses a cuff of wooden beads around its neck.

Add mini pumpkins or gourds to a vase for a burst of color and fall vibes. You can either buy fake ones or skewer some real ones. Another option is to swap out your vase for a real pumpkin to create a DIY Floral Pumpkin Centerpiece (https://www.neverskipbrunch.com/diy-floral-pumpkin-centerpiece/).

Speaking of the holidays, a mini tree in a vase is also an option to welcome the season! If it is a live tree, look for an opaque vase with a wide enough mouth to plop the pot in. Use crumpled newspaper inside the vase to elevate the plant if it sinks too low.

Lastly, don’t forget to see how your vase looks empty as well! An empty vase is often perfect for cultivating a sleek and minimal look. Collections of different vase designs in the same color can also look really chic, like seen above.

23 Rug Ideas for Neutral Living Rooms That Add Flair

Hardwood floors are many homeowners’ dream, especially when it continues through an open-concept space to create a seamless flow. However, many of us also want defined areas that are set apart for specific functions, such as a seating area or reading nook. Thankfully, that’s where a well-placed rug becomes irreplaceable!

Rugs create a transition, which our eyes and minds interpret as a separate space without losing the sensation of an open space. A neutral rug elevates this by providing a subtle backdrop that enhances, rather than distracts, away from our other decorative elements, including furniture, artwork, and light fixtures.

But if you think that neutral rugs equate a boring, washed out design, you couldn’t be more wrong! Soft, muted colors and gentle patterns are a fantastic way to incorporate flair and personality without becoming the focal point of your room’s design. Don’t believe me? Be sure to check out our gallery of rug ideas of neutral living rooms below to see for yourself!

21 Picturesque Ideas for Shiplap Around Windows

Installing shiplap around windows can take on many varieties in our modern interior design landscape using beadboard or horizontal paneling.

We’ve gathered the best examples of shiplap around windows here, so pay close attention to the various spaces in a home where shiplap can be displayed, including dining rooms, sunrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways.

Versatile Fireplace With Cozy Seating Options

Living Room

25 Cozy and Chic Ottoman in Front of Fireplace Ideas

No place on earth rivals the coziness of being perched on an ottoman in front of a fireplace. The variable sizes and shapes of ottomans make them the perfect accessory to go alongside any fireplace. Choose a couple of cube ottomans for a smaller fireplace or a more obvious bench style for fireplaces with a larger frame to make your living room an oasis of warmth.
You may find that there is not always room for a coffee table and an ottoman or that they simply cannot coexist. Luckily, ottomans aren’t just for seating. They are multi-purpose pieces that can double as coffee tables with a more cushioned frame. You may even find that you prefer these pieces to a coffee table once you see how stylish they look when topped with a tray of accessories.
Finding the perfect pieces for your living room depends on the space size and style, so explore all your options when searching for the perfect ottoman to sit beside your fireplace, even if they are a little quirky!
