“Flowers lend the feeling of the particular season and the aroma goes a long way in changing the mood,” says Rajdeep.
Instead of displaying a variety of greens, his suggestion is to stick to a particular variety and make a stronger style statement.
Potted plants, bonsai, stalks embedded in soil lined with pebbles are just few ways to breathe life into your space. Small arrangements with seasonal blooms all over the house can also work wonders.
