Do you love flowers in your home or your garden? I know I do! I always have some flowers brightening up the rooms in my house and have recently started planting flowers in the garden to make it feel more like home.
It can be tough to know what flowers to choose and where to get from. Everyone has their own specific favourite flower so it can be hard to agree on what ones to have decorating the house or what ones to plant in the garden. I have a thing for orchids, Olivia likes roses and Steve and Jack basically like any flower that is quite colourful. We also have to be careful what flowers we have in the house because of our pets but one flower we can certainly all agree on is tulips.
Dutchgrown have some amazing tulip bulbs for sale and we have been considering getting some for our home. Many think of tulips as the quintessential Spring flower. You used to get tulips in a limited colour palette but now, through careful breeding and hybridisation, they now come in an array of colours including white, pink, red and purple, among others. There are even unique colours too and many different shapes and styles. They have thousands of varieties and species so there really are many to choose from. They are also relatively easy to grow which is good for me as I am not the most green fingered of people!

But why do I love flowers in my home and garden so much?
They Brighten Up The Place
It cannot be denied that flowers can really make a home look much brighter and fresher. A room always looks more welcoming with a vase of fresh flowers on the windowsill or mantlepiece or a new bed of flowers freshly planted in the garden. You can even choose flowers that work with your interior design to make a room look even better.
There Are Many Benefits
Having plants and flowers in your home has been found to boost brain cells which helps you to concentrate more and also helps you to stay motivated. They also help to boost your mood with some having genuine calm-inducing qualities. Some help to keep illness at bay whilst others help to improve mental health. There are so many benefits to having flowers in your home, I don’t understand why some people don’t!
They Clean The Air
Certain flowering plants can help to remove harmful toxins from the air and also give off large amounts of oxygen. This means they are giving you fresh air around your home which is great!
Some Help You Sleep
Some flowers and plants actually help you get to sleep so it is understandable that some people choose to have those in their home at all times, to aid them. Who wouldn’t want a natural remedy to help them sleep instead of having to lay awake or take medicine?
These are just a few reasons why I love flowers in my home and garden. There are many benefits of plants and flowers. What are your favourite flowers to have in your home?
My partner bought a lot of plants the other day for our bay window in our flat. I am glad she did as it really brings the outdoors in and looks great. Amazing to read the benefits too. Thanks for sharing!
I have to admit while I love having flowers in my home I had no idea they had all these benefits! I have some every month – just wish they lasted longer in the heat.
I adore having flowers around the home, it’s been quite awhile since I’ve had fresh flowers but they do have great benefits and I’m glad you’ve shared them x
I love flowers everywhere. This is the first year we’ve properly successfully grown things in the garden and it’s making me so happy, I want to turn to inside the house now and get more here. Love the tulips, so colourful.
I love having flowers in the house to brighten the place up, plus they always make me smile when I see them x
I absolutely love having flowers in my home and some of my favourites are tulips, sweet peas and sunflowers all because they are bright, vibrant and uplifting. I think having a bright bunch of flowers placed in the home can life the whole mood of a room (and of a person) not to mention many smell lovely too! x
