5 reasons I always keep fresh flowers in the home

There was once a time where I never bought flowers (and wasn’t overly enthusiastic when they were bought for me!). In the case of our home, my general view was that the best way to improve it and make it feel more ‘homely’ was to buy furniture, accessories and anything else that was a little more permanent.

Then one day, I turned to flowers. Specifically, someone told me about an Avas Flowers coupon. I had a look at the official Avas Flowers Twitter page, and then at their Instagram, and found that flowers perhaps might be a good idea for my home after all.

After they arrived, my conclusions were confirmed. Here are the five reasons I now turn to flowers to boost my home.

Flowers can clean the air

Before we get onto the aesthetics of flowers, something that a lot of people don’t realize is that one of the big advantages is the fact that they clean the air. Or, some types do at least.

I first found this out through this study, which says that peace lilies, Bromelias and gerberas are the best in this category. Apparently, they emit a lot of oxygen, which is enough to eliminate all sorts of toxins from the air.

They can also provide a touch of aromatherapy

Again, this thought had never crossed my mind up until recently. However, I’ve now found out that some flowers (the rose being the prime example) are capable of providing a touch of aromatherapy to rooms.

This is apparently due to the types of oils that are found in these plants, so for those of you looking for a more relaxed home environment this is a really good suggestion to tap into.

There are some alleged medical benefits

I’ve labelled this next point as “alleged” as in truth, there are all sorts of myths and misconceptions doing the rounds about how you can benefit your health by changing things up in your home. I’ll leave you to make your own conclusions, but some brief research showed me that some flowers have been found to lower everything from blood pressure to anxious feelings.

Again, it’s not something that is going to work for everyone, but if you do struggle with these issues this could be something that’s worth trying.

They can just make your house look a lot nicer

Away from the science and other similar benefits, let’s not forget that flowers can just make your home look and feel a whole lot nicer as well. I don’t have to provide you advice on which ones to turn to; this all depends on your taste and deco. They are an excellent way to bring something new to a room though, and potentially add a finishing touch if it requires. So what are you waiting for? Order today for online flower delivery.

The scent-factor

Another obvious benefit are the scents that flowers emit. Not all flowers are going to be equal here, and some scents are more potent than others.

However, the end result is always going to be positive and is something else that can make a monumental difference to your home. When compared to air freshener, there’s just no comparison when you choose fresh flowers.
