3 ways to style orchids

Do you love simplicity? Then a minimalist look might be for you. Place your orchids in pretty pots that complement the space without stealing the show. This way, all attention goes to the plants. Position them at different heights and combine them with a larger green plant to create a mini urban jungle. Keep the colour palette neutral so the orchid blooms really pop. The result? An effortless look that radiates quiet luxury.

 

 

Prefer a cosy, boho vibe? Group several orchids together in a large bowl or tray and pair them with natural textures. Think of a small stack of books, a scented candle and a rattan lamp. The organic shapes and warm earthy tones make the orchids stand out beautifully while blending harmoniously with the rest of your decor.

 

 

Or maybe you want to go bold with colour and a hint of glamour? Choose rich materials and shiny accessories. Place the orchids in simple, neutral pots so the focus stays on the plants, and pair them with colourful accents. Think of a designer lamp and a mix of stylish candles. This creates an instantly luxurious look, with the orchid as the elegant centrepiece.

Care tips

  • Sufficient water: avoid overwatering; orchids generally prefer a weekly watering schedule. You can tell by the roots whether orchids need water. Grey roots mean they need water, green roots mean they have enough water.
  • Ideal temperature: orchids like temperatures between 15-24°C. Protect them from draughts and sudden temperature changes.
