Synchronize colors, elements and
textures of a room around a theme.

Harmony, Line & Form

Harmony: Floral designs that tie the colors, elements, or textures of a room together create a harmonious theme in the surrounding decor. For example, use the room's wall color within the arrangement to achieve decorator results.


Line: Line refers to the curves or directional movement of the arrangement. Consider the decor and architectural elements of the room where the flowers are to be placed. This will help determine the design lines and overall look of straight or curved lines. For example, rooms with tall windows, columns, or other vertical decor call for florals with tall thin lines that imitate the dominant features in the room.

Form: Form applies to the fundamental shape of an arrangement such as a ball, triangle, "L," or "S" shape. Free-form designs have materials that fall outside of basic shapes.
