Flowers have an eternal place in our interior decor, and no wonder! Their myriad of colours, shapes and perfume are the prefect accessory to any interior. Everyone loves them and most of us have our own favourites. Sadly though, flowers are very seasonal creatures and we usually have to wait another year to enhance our rooms with our favourite blooms.
Flower paintings are the ideal answer, of course. It's no wonder their popularity just keeps growing. Original paintings, carefully chosen to complement your room, look simply stunning. They bring nature to your home all year in the shape of your favourite flowers. There are so many styles to choose from - the modern contemporary blooms, to the more traditional botanical paintings and all the styles in between.
Modern box canvasses and the new wood panels look very chic and don't require a frame. For a more traditional look, a flower painting can be framed with or without glass to perfectly co-ordinate your colour scheme. Both can be bought or commissioned at most sizes to suit your own budget or wall space. An original flower painting is an investment that will not date and can be passed down as a family heirloom. Indeed, most original paintings do actually increase in value overtime.
A very popular alternative to original flower paintings are the new giclee canvasses. A more affordable option, these prints on canvas are the closest you can get to the look of an original painting. Flowers retain their luminous colours as the inks used are of superior quality and are guaranteed not to fade. These canvas surfaces too, are selected for their archival quality.
Original flower Paintings or quality giclee prints also make the ideal gift for that special occasion or anniversary. It's so easy to find out what someone's favourite flower is and then surprise them with a special present that they will treasure for a very long time.
So, as one season changes to another and your favourite flowers disappear from the gardens for another year, why not capture it forever in a flower painting or giclee print? Then each time you see it looking down on you from your wall you can be transported back to your favourite season and all its fond memories. Or even surprise a friend or loved one with a timeless gift that will always remind them of you.
