Dried and artificial flowers have been used for a long time in interior design and decoration, but I often hear that they are considered bad luck, bad energy or bad feng shui. Other people simply find them tacky or an example of bad taste. What do you think? Do you keep dried flowers or artificial flowers in your home?
I used to be a big fan of dried flowers, both store-bought and dried by myself. The problem with them is that they are a bit difficult to keep clean; they get dusty and tend to fall apart when you try to clean them.
Even though I have real plants and blooming flowers in flowerpots almost all year long, I have some artificial flowers here and there too. They are good when you want to decorate a specific place in the house that you know it’s not ideal for real plants, for example, when there’s not enough light or the temperature is not right. I think nowadays there are nicely made artificial flowers that look pretty good. What’s your opinion?

I put artificial flowers on Mum’s grave as they don’t wither and fade if they fade I replace them with fresh ones.
I don’t have either artificial or dried flowers at home because they collect dust.
Collecting dust is what I don’t like either.
I believe that anything that creates beauty and peace is a good thing. #meaningfulcomments
I agree with you; thanks for stopping by!
Thank you, the photos are from pixabay this time.
I like flowers and am a fan of them. The only flowers I don’t like are the artificial ones.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, Elenka!
I like dried and artificial flowers. I occasionally decorate any space with these flowers. Of course, I prefer fresh flowers.
I prefer the fresh ones too, but they are not always available. I think anything that makes us happy is good.
I don’t mind both, but if I were to purchase one of the other it would be dried
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
my grandmother had a “do not touch” area with dried flowers. When she said do not touch none of us did!!!!
Flowers are beautiful, the artificial ones I just don’t like,
I always used to manage damaging my dried flowers.
you should have my grandmother manage it for you. we were scared of her!
Most of them are gone now, but they did live a second life, so I guess it’s okay.
i understand that sometimes it is hard to have things in our lives, that require so much extra care!
I’m not exactly a fan of artificial flowers, but some flowers are difficult to distinguish today, whether they are first or artificial …. I prefer fresh flowers
I like fresh flowers too, but they aren’t always available.
Usually, artificial or dried… neither I like them. I don’t like artificial flowers because they are dust collectors for me and just add up to endless trash in the world. Dried flowers? what for?
Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing your opinion! Many people like dried flowers for decorations, because of their scent, and if you dry your own flowers – for sentimental reasons.
yeah I realized how beautiful they are after I replied to this article. I made a short reflection a bit.
I make dried flower arrangements but never use artificial flowers. I had picked up a potpouri when I was in the US with a bottle of lavender that went with it.
I love dried flowers too, but some people consider them “dead” flowers.
Depends on how they are arranged. I had an exhibition of my dried flowers arrangements with twigs and drift wood
This sounds awesome! They give a warm and cozy feeling to the space.
Potpourri! At least when I think of dried flowers I am reminded of the scent of potpourri, kinda soothing
I love potpourri too!
I like some dried flowers. Some looks very realistic.
I like dried flowers, especially if they hold well.
Yes and your post looks perfect with the links.
Thank you! I tried to embed them for a long time until tasartcraft told me Chrome might be the problem.
I think dried flowers are more realistic but artificial flowers can also look good as long as they’re not made of plastic
I always have a hard time picking some more realistic-looking ones, but usually roses are nicely made.
