This is how you create magic with tulips

There are people who have the ability to create cozy and beautiful environments. People who turn a messy terrace into a relaxing oasis, or the most boring dining table into a beautifully set table. But anyone can create something beautiful with a little help. With these tips you can create magic yourself with tulips!

Purple is trendy 2022

If you want to keep abreast of the prevailing interior trends, opt for tulips in purple tones in 2022. Purple is a trend that can be found on both furniture and interior details, preferably in a light purple lavender shade. A few purple tulips in the vase and you are trendy at home.

Ton-sur-ton

Feel free to start with the colors you already have at home and amplify them. For example, if you like calm beige and white tones, it is nice to also buy white tulips and porcelain in soft tones. At the beginning of the year, many people like white! Tulips in different pastel shades are also beautiful.

Low when laying the table

Tulips are unique because they continue to grow after you put them in the vase. It gives a wild and a bit messy look. But sometimes you have limited space and at the small table it can be more practical with a low bouquet. A soup tureen or sauce bowl is an alternative to classic vases.

Many small vases together

By placing many small vases together, the experience of the tulips will be different than when they are in a vase. It is excellent to put the tulips in bottles instead of vases. On a small table or tray it will be a nice arrangement. Fits perfectly on, for example, the windowsill.

Wreath on the door

Welcome your guests with a wreath on the door. You need a frame to which you attach the tulips. Making a wreath of tulips is not very difficult, but the result is beautiful. The shelf life is limited, though, so if you want to keep the decorations when the guests are home, one tip is to place the wreath on a large tray or in a round bowl. Adjust the tulips so that the cut surfaces are in the water.

Mix with cherries and willows

Tulips are beautiful on their own but also in company with other plants. A nice combination are pink tulips and pink willows. Cherry twigs and other branches from the garden further enhance it. An unexpected tip is to poke around in the compost a bit and see what you find.

Bouquet directly on a plate or in a bowl

Buy your tulip bouquet from a florist and place the bouquet directly on a plate or in a bowl. If the stems are cut straight and you keep the string around the tulips, it will remain beautiful by itself. Fill the bowl with water so that the tulips never run dry.

Tulips with bulb

Nowadays in some shops it is also possible to buy tulips that are sold directly in the growers' boxes with the bulb. It is festive to be able to pick your own tulips in the store. Tulips on bulbs last almost as long indoors as cut tulips. Especially if the temperature remains a degree above zero. If it is a few degrees below zero, the tulips can get a bit sloppy.
