Fresh flowers for beautiful interiors: the art of styling your space

23 May 2025

It will be no surprise to learn that as one of Christchurch’s best florists, Fleurs by DK relish how our beautiful fresh flowers have the capacity to effortlessly transform a space. Beyond their natural beauty and fragrance, our thoughtfully curated arrangements elevate a home's interior design style. We've helped countless homes bloom through carefully curated arrangements. Here's how you can capture the power of flowers to transform your living spaces.

Create striking first impressions

Your hallway sets the tone for your entire home. A statement arrangement on a foyer table welcomes guests with colour, fragrance, and style. For maximum impact, consider a seasonal display that changes with the calendar – seasonal bright flowers in September or festive Christmas flowers in December. Many clients use our flower delivery Christchurch service to ensure their entrance makes a statement – is there anything more pleasing than coming home to beautiful fresh flowers?

Add living texture to any room

Where furniture and décor provide structure, flowers add organic movement and texture. A thoughtfully positioned flower arrangement softens angular furniture pieces and complements existing textiles. For living rooms, fuller arrangements with varied heights and textures add vitality. For dining tables, lower arrangements allow comfortable conversation while still adding elegance. At Fleurs by DK, our professional florists craft flower arrangements specifically designed to enhance your home's unique aesthetic.

Transform awkward spaces

Every home has challenging corners or nooks that resist traditional décor solutions. These spaces are perfect for placing flowers. A tall, sculptural arrangement can fill an empty corner, while smaller posies bring life to bathrooms or bedside tables. Our flower shop in Christchurch specialises in creating custom arrangements for these often-overlooked spaces.

Use flowers to set the mood

Flowers influence the emotional atmosphere of a room. Soft pastels create calm, serene environments and are perfect for bedrooms, while vibrant blooms naturally energise living and entertaining spaces. For home offices, consider low-maintenance arrangements that boost creativity without requiring frequent attention, a planted basket is an ideal collection of houseplants. Our same-day flower delivery Christchurch service means you can quickly refresh your home's mood for impromptu gatherings or special occasions.

Celebrate seasons and special moments

Floral décor should evolve with the calendar. Seasonal arrangements connect your home to the natural world outside – textural arrangements in winter, fresh blooms in spring, lush greenery in summer. For milestone celebrations – Valentine's Day flowers, New Year’s Day, or Mother's Day gifts – custom arrangements create lasting memories, transforming everyday spaces into celebratory environments with ease.

Professional touch makes the difference

While even the simplest of fresh flower arrangements have their charm, professionally designed florals dramatically elevate interiors. At Fleurs by DK Merivale on Papanui Road, our award-winning designers select blooms to complement your existing décor while making a floral statement. We welcome a picture of the space you would like freshening with flowers, so our team of talented creatives can create a bespoke flower arrangement to meet the space’s unique needs.

Bespoke funeral tributes: personalised sympathy flowers by Fleur by DK

24 September 2025

Funerals are a time to honour life, share memories, and offer comfort to those grieving. They bring family and friends together to reflect on a loved one’s journey, creating moments of connection through words, music, and rituals. Among these rituals, flowers hold a particularly meaningful place. They provide not just beauty, but also a silent language of love, remembrance, and respect. At Fleur by DK in Merivale, Christchurch, we believe flowers are more than decoration — they are symbols of compassion and memory at life’s most tender moments. Led by award-winning florist Debra Kinnaird, our experienced team listens carefully to each family, creating arrangements that capture the personality and spirit of the one being remembered. Whether it’s through a bespoke tribute, a simple spray, or a carefully chosen bouquet, our goal is to provide solace and celebrate individuality through the beauty of flowers.

Stem to vase: mastering the art of flower display with Fleur by DK

25 August 2025

Selecting the perfect vase for your flowers is an art that can dramatically transform your floral arrangements from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether you're displaying fresh blooms from your local florist Christchurch or creating stunning centrepieces for special occasions, the right vase choice enhances both the beauty and longevity of your fresh flowers. As award-winning florists, Fleur by DK have arranged thousands of bouquets for flower delivery in Christchurch , and we understand how the vessel you choose is just as important as the flowers themselves. Understanding vase fundamentals: shape, size, and function The foundation of exceptional flower arranging begins with understanding how different vase shapes serve specific purposes. There are multiple factors to consider when selecting vases for fresh flower arrangements, including stem length, flower type, arrangement style, and placement location. · Round vases represent the most versatile option in any florist's toolkit. Globe-shaped they feature wide bottoms that taper to slightly narrower openings, creating a natural support for flower stems while allowing for organic, flowing arrangements. The rounded shape encourages stems to spread naturally, creating a volume and movement that's beautifully effective for mixed bouquets and flower arrangements. · Tall, straight vases excel with long-stemmed flowers such as lilies, gladioli, and romantic roses. The vertical shape provides essential support for flowers with a good stem length while exploiting the dramatic height in your arrangements to create elegant proportions that draw the eye upward. · Small or bud vases serve multiple purposes, from showcasing single statement blooms to creating clustered arrangements with multiple small vessels. These compact vases are perfect for intimate table settings, or when you want to distribute floral beauty throughout multiple rooms.
