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.

Fleur by DK: changing the perceptions of flower gifting in Christchurch

4 August 2025
Flower giving has always held a special place in human culture, an age-old way to say, ‘I love you,’ flowers to say, ‘I’m sorry,’ or simply ‘I’m thinking of you.’ But as the world changes, so do gifting habits. Today, the act of giving flowers has expanded far beyond romance, branching into self-care, friendship, activism, and personal storytelling. At Fleur by DK, an award-winning boutique florist in Christchurch NZ, we’ve seen firsthand how attitudes towards floral gifting are evolving. And we’re embracing every beautiful shift. Whether you’re searching for wedding flowers Christchurch, thoughtful gifts for her Christchurch, or even a way to brighten a hospital room with flowers Christchurch hospital delivery, the reasons behind flower giving today are more diverse, and more meaningful, than ever before. 1. Exceedingly romantic, but flowers for every relationship Traditionally, flowers have been strongly linked to romantic gestures. But today, more people are embracing flowers as gifts for friends, colleagues, neighbours, and themselves. Sending a bouquet is no longer reserved for Valentine’s Day (although Valentine’s Day flowers Christchurch are still a top seller ); it’s about acknowledging meaningful relationships in all their forms. Think about a bright, cheerful posy sent to a friend who’s just landed a new job. Or a calming arrangement delivered to a family member recovering in hospital. Our same day flower delivery Christchurch service makes it easy to show you care, immediately (order flowers online for Christchurch) and sincerely. 2. Self-care, floral-style One of the most exciting trends we’ve seen as a Papanui Road florist Christchurch is the rise of flowers as self-care. Buying flowers for your own home is no longer considered indulgent, but an affordable luxury. Fresh flowers lift your mood, lower stress, and bring a sense of calm. Many clients come to our flower shop Christchurch not because they need a gift, but because they want to feel better. And they leave with a bunch of local tulips or delicately scented freesias in hand, and a visible lift in spirit. For those who can’t make it into our Merivale florist, check our wide selection of flowers online Christchurch ; treating yourself to a beautiful bouquet is as easy as clicking a button. 3. The social media influence Social media plays a massive role in modernising floral gifting reminding people that flowers aren’t just for milestones, they can celebrate everyday beauty. Instagram-worthy arrangements and Pinterest boards filled with dreamy petals have ignited people’s love and appreciation for the artistry behind floristry. Thanks to this visibility, florists are no longer seen simply as vendors of flower bouquets. Rather, at Fleur by DK Christchurch, we are celebrated for our creative designs with each bouquet a work of living art.

Floral design for business events: style, strategy, and seasonal beauty

by Simon Mullinger • 23 June 2025
When it comes to creating memorable events, nothing transforms a space quite like expertly chosen floral arrangements. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration or a grand corporate gathering, the right flowers elevate your corporate event from ordinary to extraordinary. Selecting the perfect flowers requires the careful consideration of multiple factors that come together to create a cohesive, stunning display. Understanding your event's unique requirements As an award-winning flower shop in Christchurch, Fleur by DK has been recognised for our creative flower displays and arrangements, but our success relies on our ability to connect with our clients on a human level. Every successful event begins with truly understanding the atmosphere you wish to create and how you want the flowers to make the attendees feel . The type of celebration you're hosting is the greatest influence on your floral options, from the scale of arrangements to the specific varieties that will best complement the occasion. Flowers for formal events For formal occasions like corporate launches, awards ceremonies, or business conferences, the choice of flowers should reflect elegance and professionalism and be brand appropriate. Orchids are a Christchurch business flower favourite, often recommended as these exotic blooms ooze sophistication and yet have an impressive longevity. When paired with structured tropical foliage, such as anthuriums or sleek line flowers, they create eye-catching arrangements that enhance the setting without distracting from the event’s purpose. Purple irises, which symbolise wisdom, can also be a thoughtful addition, subtly reinforcing brand values while adding a touch of colour to reception areas or stage displays. Flowers for casual events Casual corporate events, such as team-building days, office birthdays, client socials, or milestone celebrations, allow for a more relaxed and creative approach to floral styling. These occasions are ideal for incorporating personal touches that reflect company culture or the interests of the team. Think flowers with vibrant colour palettes , playful arrangements, Instagrammable walls, or blooms that tie into the event’s theme. For example, a summer BBQ might call for bright sunflowers and bold tropicals, while a laid-back networking evening could feature simple, seasonal posies in jars for a welcoming, informal vibe.
