There are some people who would’nt have a “fake” flower or plant in their homes. Then there are others, who, on every surface and wall, have an explosion of silk and plastic blooms. I think there’s a happy medium. Fresh flowers always bring life to a room. But unless I’m entertaining or have some flowers in the garden I can cut, I will stick to a few realistic “Fakes”. I love the way they fill in the dark corners of a room and bring a little color and life to drab spaces. Most of us don’t have the time or money to purchase fresh flowers every few days. As much as we all love “fresh” it may not always be practical. (Allergies, kids, pets etc). So my view on “Fake” is… Less is More, Keep them real looking, Get rid of old dusty ones, and use real when you can.
