An orchid for every interior

Orchids are incredibly versatile. With over 25,000 different species, they come in a stunning array of colours and sizes. This means there’s an orchid to suit every interior style! To create a spring-like atmosphere, consider white, yellow, or soft pink orchids. Or mix and match a variety of colours for a vibrant display.

 

 

The perfect decoration for any room

Thanks to their versatility, orchids can brighten up any room in the house. Place a striking orchid arrangement on your dining table as a centrepiece, add a delicate mini-orchid to your desk for a touch of spring while working, or create a spa-like ambience in your bathroom with a few orchids on the windowsill. No matter the room, orchids will instantly lift your mood!

 

 

Combine with other spring decorations

Complete the spring vibe in your home by pairing orchids with other seasonal decorations. Think moss, tulips, hyacinths, or playful accents like Easter eggs and wooden figurines. By incorporating light textures and cheerful colours, you’ll create a fresh, welcoming atmosphere in your home!

How to set a festive spring table with orchids

 

Choose a colour palette

Start by selecting a colour palette. A well-thought-out colour scheme can significantly enhance the ambiance of your table setting. Orchids come in a wide range of colours, from soft pastels to vibrant hues. Combine white and pink orchids for a romantic and delicate look, or choose bright orchids like orange and yellow for a lively and energetic atmosphere. Coordinate the dinnerware, table runner, placemats, and napkins with the colours of the orchids for a harmonious look.

 

 

Add an orchid to the napkin ring

If we’re going to do this, we’re going to do it right! Set the table with placemats, layered plates, a linen napkin, and a napkin ring. Want to make it even more festive? Slip a small orchid into the napkin ring for an elegant pop of colour.

 

 

Complete the spring table with yellow orchids

Still feel like your spring table—or even the rest of your living room—needs a bit more festivity? Add a few yellow orchids! Yellow is synonymous with joy, making it an easy and effective way to bring a cheerful burst of colour into your home.

 

4 tips for a warm and cosy interior

It’s winter! And that means we’re spending more time indoors. So, it’s the perfect time to give the living room a little makeover to make it warm and cosy. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Just add a few items to your decor to make your home feel welcoming. Curious? Read on for our cosy interior tips!

A warm and cosy interior

 

Choose the right lighting

Good lighting is not only functional but also essential for creating atmosphere. Opt for multiple smaller light sources rather than a single large lamp, as they create a more intimate ambience. And don’t forget candles—candlelight adds a cosy feel and literally warms the room as well. Try placing a small lamp in the corner, a few candleholders on a cabinet, and some decorative candles on the coffee table.

 

 

Never too many cushions and throws

Throws are perfect for creating warmth! Simply placing them around—along with lots of cushions—gives an instantly cosy look. Not to mention how snug it is to actually curl up under them. Choose throws and cushions in rich materials like velvet, corduroy, or teddy fabric, and go for warm winter colours. Drape them over the arm of the sofa or a large lounge chair for that extra cosy effect.

Opt for curved shapes

Did you know that the shapes of the items in your home have a big impact on the overall feel? Rounded, organic shapes give a minimalist interior a softer, warmer appearance. An interior with only rectangular items can often look strict and overly structured. By adding a few round elements, you’ll quickly create a cosy vibe. Think of round tealight holders, a circular pouffe, or wall decor with curved designs like a round mirror.

 

 

Bring nature indoors

Since we’re spending more time indoors in winter, bring a touch of nature inside. Everyone knows a walk in nature is calming, so why not create that effect at home? Add a few indoor plants, like orchids in wintery colours, to enjoy a calming, natural atmosphere indoors.

4 interior design trends for 2025

 

Ethno

The Ethno interior trend is centred around elements that reflect the traditional craftsmanship and culture of different people. This style evokes a warm sense of connection between different cultures. The interior tells a story, created by mixing a variety of materials and beautiful ethnic elements. The colour palette features warm reds and oranges, combined with beige and khaki. We also see an abundance of natural materials and ethnic prints. Furniture is predominantly made of wood, with organic shapes or a more robust design, often paired with kilims and cowhide rugs. There is also a noticeable use of coarse outdoor fabrics, designed to create a stronger connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Walls are finished with wallpaper made from natural materials like bamboo and leather, or treated with tadelakt or clay plaster.

New Classic

The New Classic interior trend gives a modern twist to the traditional, somewhat rustic, style. It’s time for something new. For example, the familiar herringbone pattern is replaced by a Hungarian point, elbow, or block pattern. Base colours like beige, black, and brown are complemented with warm green, soft blue, or ochre. Materials such as marble, slate, wool, and linen are used to complete the look. The key focus is the contrast between old and new. For instance, a vintage chest of drawers gets a more contemporary look by pairing it with sleek, modern furniture in fresh colours or enhanced with bold black accents. In short, a fresh breeze is blowing through the traditionally safe classic interior!

Vintage & Eclectic

Vintage & Eclectic is a playful interior style, where nothing has to match perfectly. By following your instincts, an unexpected unity is created. The aim is to create a warm, cosy cocoon. This is achieved with a colour palette of warm tones like burgundy, olive green, and ochre yellow, combined with rich materials such as brass, marble, and velvet. Bold patterns are used in wall coverings, fabrics, and tiles. The walls are painted in rich colours, and to complete that cosy cocoon effect, even the ceiling is included.

 

 

Clean & Soft

Where Vintage & Eclectic is a maximalist interior style, Clean & Soft is a minimalist one. Elements of this interior trend are not unfamiliar in the world of interiors. This style is heavily influenced by Japanese and Scandinavian design, with a neutral colour palette primarily made up of beige and white, combined with soft pastel tones. The trend favours organic shapes, natural materials, light woods, and the occasional blossom branch. Functionality plays a significant role in this minimalist style, so a clear out of unnecessary accessories is essential.

Go all out this year with orchids in your Christmas tree

Want to go all out with your Christmas tree this year? Try decorating it with orchids! These houseplants have a luxurious look and come in many colours that suit the Christmas season beautifully. Plus, a Christmas tree is sturdy enough to hold them. And it’s certainly an original idea!

 

Orchids in your Christmas tree

Start by selecting a few types of orchids in colours you love. We chose the Phalaenopsis and Cambria. First, slip a stocking around the pot to prevent the soil from spilling out. Place the pot in the tree and secure it to a branch with a bit of wire. Continue like this, arranging the orchids throughout the tree. Done? Finish the Christmas tree with a few velvet bows.

 

 

Caring for orchids

In winter, it’s best to water orchids once or twice a week. Ideally, take them out of the Christmas tree and place them in a shallow dish of water for 5–10 minutes. This allows the roots to absorb just the right amount of water. Let the orchids drain thoroughly before putting them back in the tree.

 

 

After the holidays

After a merry Christmas and a festive New Year’s, it’s time to say goodbye to the Christmas tree. According to tradition, the Christmas tree is taken down on January 6th. But what to do with the empty spot it leaves behind? The solution is simple: add greenery. Green is seen as a colour of life, renewal, nature, and energy. Additionally, houseplants create a cosy atmosphere and lift your spirits. So, turn your Christmas tree orchids into a cheerful plant corner to keep January feeling bright!
