How artificial floral evolved to “Real Touch” Floral

Artificial flowers are popular today and make up a large international market. They are commonly used as interior decorating items in residential, commercial, hospitality suites, casino resorts, and model homes. However, many people perceive artificial flowers as low quality and cheap because they do not look and feel natural. This was once true because artificial flowers were generally produced with plastic or silk materials. They didn’t display vivid colors and didn’t have the same soft moisture feel like a real flower. But these perceptions are changing because today’s technology has made it possible to have high-quality artificial flowers that are very close looking to live flowers and plants.  Many manufacturing processes were invented back in the 1950s to better structure artificial flowers using a combination of metal and plastic.

TIPS for decorating a model home

Image
Here are some tips when selecting artificial plants for a model home: 1. Make sure every room has a visual exclamation point. 2. Use planters and bowls that contrast with the wall color to make interior spaces come to life. 3. Use fewer, larger trailings, succulent bowls, and floral arrangements for a less-cluttered look. 4. Select the correct size tree. Use narrow trees in tight corner spaces and taller trees when you have tall ceilings with arches. 5. Use a variety of trees and include sculptural trees with large leaves where needed. 6. Use trailing plants to soften a contemporary room. 7. Use large ceramic planters or high-end baskets for dining rooms, great rooms, and living rooms. Consider textured painted planters that match the décor of the model. 8. Use a large dramatic floral arrangement for the dining room using high-end soft-touch floral.   Check out Pacific Silkscapes model home page: https://www.pacificsilkscapes.com/model-home-communities.html
