1 Kunstblumen Zweig, Basis für 3 stylische Bouquets
z Manchmal braucht es nicht mehr als eine gute Basis. In diesem Fall: fünf Olivenzweige. Klar, ruhig. Ein Hauch Mittelmeer. Und überraschend vielseitig. Olivenzweige gehören zu jenen Elementen, die von selbst wirken. Sie sehen auch allein bereits gestylt aus. Ihre wahre Stärke zeigt sich aber darin, wie leicht sie sich verändern lassen. Mit nur wenigen zusätzlichen Zweigen entsteht jedes Mal ein ganz anderer Look. Unten siehst du drei Bouquets – alle auf derselben Basis. Die Struktur bleibt gleich. Nur die Stimmung wechselt. Look eins Kombiniert mit gelbem Dill und gelben Real-Touch-Mohnblumen wird aus den Olivenzweigen ein frischer, sonniger Look. Das Gelb bringt Energie, der Dill Bewegung. Es wirkt leicht, optimistisch und macht sofort gute Laune. In diesem Look haben wir zwei Dill Zweige und zwei Mohnblumen kombiniert. Look zwei Mit weissen Tulpen wird der Look ruhiger. Dezent. Frisch. Sehr stilvoll.Die Olivenzweige geben Halt, die Tulpen bringen Leichtigkeit. Ideal für den Esstisch, den Eingangsbereich oder überall dort, wo es ruhig, aber bewusst gestaltet sein soll. Hier haben wir zwei hochwertige Kunsttulpen kombiniert mit einem Schneeball. Den Stiel vom Schneeball haben wir am Ende gebogen, um ihn kürzer zu machen. Look drei Nur drei weisse Beerenzweige – mehr nicht. Schlicht. Klar. Fast grafisch.Dieser Look zeigt, wie wenig es manchmal braucht, um Wirkung zu erzielen. Reduziert, aber keineswegs langweilig. Zu den Olivenzweigen haben wir drei Weisse Beerenzweige ergänzt. Wie lassen sich Kunstblumen vielseitig stylen? Kunstblumen lassen sich besonders vielseitig stylen, wenn man mit einer ruhigen Basis beginnt. Zweige wie Oliven eignen sich ideal, weil sie Struktur geben, ohne dominant zu wirken. Darauf lassen sich je nach Stimmung einzelne Akzente setzen – zum Beispiel Blüten für Frische, hochwertige Kunsttulpen für Ruhe oder Beerenzweige für einen reduzierten Look. Entscheidend ist nicht die Menge, sondern das Zusammenspiel. Wenige Elemente, bewusst kombiniert, wirken meist natürlicher als ein voll gefülltes Bouquet. Viel Spass beim Stylen!

Create the look: Christmas decoration
This year I've styled two uncomplicated Christmas looks that you can easily recreate at home - easy, creative, without pressure to be perfect. Two simple Christmas looks and how they can live on after the holidays. Look one It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Ideal for small apartments or entryways. I've combined olive branches, small white berries, and a touch of red. Everything is tied together with a simple cable tie. The ribbon (and the baubles) are from Manor – of course, you can use whatever you like. The best part? After Christmas, simply remove the red elements and place the olive branches with the white berries in a vase. Now you have a calming, evergreen bouquet for the next few weeks. Products 5x olive branches 3x Berry Branches with White Berries 2x Red Berry Branches Look two A winter bouquet in a vase. An elegant addition to the Christmas tree – or an alternative when space is limited. I used eucalyptus as a base (a year-round evergreen) and created a wintry Christmas atmosphere with chestnuts and rosehips. The paper decorations are from Manor. After Christmas, you can simply reuse the eucalyptus to make a simple, beautiful bouquet. Products 3x Eucalyptus Burgundy 3x Eucalyptus Green 2x rosehip branches 2x chestnut branches

How to style high-quality artificial flowers
At Silkhaus, we believe in floral beauty that lasts. The idea was simple: flowers you don't have to throw away. Artificial flowers that look real, made from high-quality materials, hand-tied in Switzerland – for rooms with soul. And then, you've chosen a Silkhaus bouquet – how do you style your artificial flowers at home ? Don't worry, we have tips! A little history lesson: Why are they called silk flowers? The name "silk flowers" comes from a time when artificial flowers were actually made of real silk. As early as the 18th century, nobles in France and Italy commissioned delicate blossoms from silk fabric – a symbol of luxury and craftsmanship. Today, high-quality artificial flowers are made from innovative materials such as polyester, nylon, or cellulose. These materials are not only more durable but also remarkably lifelike. The name has stuck. The quality has improved. How to style high-quality artificial flowers The magic lies in the details. Our bouquets can be adapted to any vase and any room, and that's precisely what makes them so versatile. Adjust the stems: Most artificial flowers have flexible wires inside. Bend the stems slightly to create natural movement. For a shorter vase, simply trim the ends with pliers or bend the stems firmly. If you'd like to raise the bouquet, place a piece of paper or sand in the vase. Easy does it. Create volume: A bouquet looks more vibrant when the stems aren't standing rigidly straight. Tilt individual blooms outwards, leave some space between the stems – this creates room and depth. Style it in your vase: read our blog here for tips on how to stylishly place your artificial flowers. The stems of our artificial flowers are easy to shape – and just as easy to bend back into shape. Care – how to keep your bouquets beautiful for longer Our bouquets are easy to care for, but a little attention works wonders: Removing dust: A cold blast of hot air from a hairdryer is sufficient to gently blow away dust. Avoid direct sunlight: This will keep the colors vibrant and the textures looking like new. Touch gently: High-quality artificial flowers are delicate – treat them like your favorite piece of clothing. Are there differences in the quality of artificial flowers? Oh yes – and big ones at that. Just like with fashion or interior design, there are significant differences in artificial flowers in terms of material, workmanship, and attention to detail . Cheaper versions are often made of simple plastic, appear stiff, and have an unnatural shine. High-quality artificial flowers – like the ones you can buy from Silkhaus – are made from fine materials such as polyester, nylon, or cellulose. They feel soft, reflect light naturally, and retain their shape for years. Some even have the so-called real-touch effect – they feel deceptively real. At Silkhaus, we select only the highest quality from European partners - like Silk-ka - and pay attention to every detail – from the realistic flower structure to the subtle color nuances in the leaves. Each artificial flower is hand-tied to ensure that every stem looks alive, not artificial. You can see the difference between a Silkhaus bouquet or a Silkhaus rose – and a bouquet or a rose from a cheap online shop from China. In both photos you can see the Silkhaus product on the right. New mood, same beauty Artificial flowers offer endless possibilities for creative arrangements. Add two new stems – perhaps a vibrant red artificial rose or delicate grasses for a touch of lightness. Or remove a few blooms and place them individually in small vases. Instantly, a whole new look is created. The location also affects the effect : Bouquets look inviting in the living room, create a sense of calm in the bathroom, and add a touch of lightness to the bedside table. Occasionally change the vase – clay, ceramic, or glass – and you'll see how versatile artificial flowers can be. And if you want something new after a while: With our Re-silk service, you can return your bouquet and receive 25% off a new one. This way, the beauty and the joy of change remain.
