The most important thing to bear in mind when it comes to decorating your home with floral displays and arrangements is to be imaginative and inventive. A bouquet or well-placed flowers can add so much to the ambience of any living space, and so you should always be creative about what you do with your flowers in order to bring the best out of your home.

Make a strong impression on anyone who comes into your home by setting on display a large, ostentatious arrangement in your hallway. A good way to do this might be to use a piece of artwork on the wall and drape it with flowers. Similarly hanging a wreath on your front door truly does bring a homely and welcoming feel to the entrance, as does placing a basket of garden flowers on a table by the front door.

Add some more flavour to your dining room by using flowers as place settings: this is a great way to improve the atmosphere in the room, and will make an instant impression on your guests. You''ll always want to keep the casual feel of home dining, and this will bring a degree of sophistication without making it stuffy. You may want to use lilies or carnations for something like this, as they work particularly well as single flowers.

There is so much more that you can do to make the most of the space and your possessions in any room in your house, even in the living room. Take an old vase, bowl or pitcher and give it some life by decorating it with flowers. That way, you''ll be able to make good use of something which otherwise would go forgotten. In the summer you''ll be using your fireplace less often too, so why not brighten it up with some bright flowers.

You could make your kitchen space more pleasant by placing flowerpots on your windowsill, or using any kind of container and filling it, whether it''s a pitcher, a teapot or even an urn. The effect can be authentic and pleasantly striking.

In your bedrooms why not decorate the nightstand with a bud vase incorporating tea roses, freesias, peonies, lilacs or lilies? If you''re welcoming a guest, let them enter their room and see a small vase with a simple cluster of flowers in the centre of a clear bubble bowl filled with potpourri.

If you have a study in which you often find yourself working, it will do so much if you take the time to place a flowering plant there. It will definitely make working all hours far more bearable.

There is so much that you can do around your home to make sure it is as warm and inviting as possible. Whether you''re having guests round to visit or you simply want to make it a nice enough place to live, the possibilities are limitless.
