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.

Beautiful interiors deserve beautiful flowers, and our expert team will help you discover how the flowers can transform your space into something extraordinary, even for the most ordinary of days.

Each year, a quiet wave of excitement sweeps through Christchurch florists and homes as peony season arrives. Renowned for their luxurious, opulent layers of petals and delicate fragrance, peonies are the epitome of exquisite. Yet their beauty is fleeting. The brief window in which these New Zealand-grown flowers thrive illustrate the philosophy and pain of seasonal floristry: great beauty but only for a few magical weeks. If you love peonies, now is the time to order flowers online for a Christchurch delivery before the season ends or visit our Merivale flower shop. The joy of peonies is they boast an enchanting palette ranging from soft blush, creamy ivory and the purest of white through to a vivid coral, magenta and deep crimson. Their hues shift subtly as the buds open forcing a dynamic interplay of colour and light, so every arrangement feels fresh, bespoke and effortlessly luxurious.

Peony: the Queen of flowers Peonies are known as the ‘Queen of Flowers’, mainly through the deep cultural significance in ancient China. Empress Wu Zetian ordered the destruction of peonies for not flowering on command. According to legend, the flowers in response regrew even more beautifully the following spring, leading the peony to be a symbol of beauty and prosperity but also strength and righteousness. And they still hold the power to captivate their audience. With their voluptuous petals, they have an unmatched ability to elevate any bouquet, from wedding flowers to thoughtful flower delivery surprises. The flowers begin as tight, modest buds before gradually unfurling into lush, ruffled spheres with an abundance.
