How to Decorate Your Home with Flowers this Christmas
There’s something special about the quiet glow of a home at Christmas: the scent of pine, the sparkle of candlelight, the feeling of warmth that settles in every room.
At PIERR Flowers, we believe flowers are at the heart of that atmosphere. Whether they’re fresh, preserved, or a mix of both, flowers bring soul to your seasonal décor. They add softness to corners, colour to the table, and life to the stillness of winter.
This season, we want to share our favourite ways to decorate your home with flowers: simple, elegant ideas that make your space feel festive, natural, and full of heart.
1. Create a Floral Welcome at the Door
Your entrance sets the tone for everything that follows. A statement wreath, garland, or vase arrangement near the doorway instantly makes guests feel at home.
For a modern take:
Combine preserved hydrangeas, dried berries, and eucalyptus for a soft, neutral palette.
Use a linen or velvet ribbon instead of plastic décor for a touch of understated luxury.
If you love scent, tuck in fresh pine or rosemary sprigs for a natural aroma that greets visitors before you do.
Tip: A wreath with preserved elements can last the whole season, and even be reused next year.
2. Layer the Dining Table with Natural Details
The dining table is where memories are made. Instead of heavy centrepieces, opt for designs that feel intimate and organic.
Try this formula:
Start with greenery. Eucalyptus, olive branches, or pine make a beautiful base.
Add focal flowers. White roses, amaryllis, or hellebores evoke elegance without overpowering the table.
Incorporate candles. Vary heights for movement, and keep scents subtle so they don’t compete with the food.
Finish with texture. Linen napkins, ceramic vases, and preserved foliage tie the look together.
Bonus idea: After the dinner, rehome small floral clusters into vases throughout the house - it’s a sustainable way to make your design live on.
3. Build a Winter Bouquet Corner
Every home deserves one focal floral moment - a small arrangement that shifts with the light throughout the day.
Choose a place where you naturally pause - a console table, kitchen island, or sideboard - and place a vase with preserved roses, dried branches, and fresh berries. It’s a simple act, but it anchors your space in beauty.
We often create seasonal “bouquet corners” for our clients that last the entire month of December. They’re low-maintenance yet full of soul, especially when paired with natural textures like stone, linen, or wood.
4. Mix Fresh and Preserved Flowers for Longevity
December’s warmth indoors can shorten the life of fresh flowers. The secret is in the mix.
Combine fresh blooms (for scent and vibrancy) with preserved or dried textures (for structure and endurance). This balance ensures your arrangements stay elegant through the entire festive period - and reduces waste.
Some of our favourite combinations include:
Fresh roses with preserved hydrangeas
Fresh tulips with dried amaranthus
Fresh ranunculus with preserved foliage and pinecones
The result? A natural, timeless composition that feels luxurious without excess.
5. Think Beyond Red and Green
Classic Christmas colors are always welcome, but there’s magic in breaking the rules.
At PIERR, we often design with ivory, taupe, gold, and champagne - a palette that feels warm and refined. For a more modern look, add muted blush or soft copper tones.
Neutral flowers allow candlelight to become the star — creating a glow that feels both festive and serene.
6. Add Small Floral Touches Throughout
Sometimes, it’s the smallest floral moments that bring the most joy.
Try placing:
A mini vase with preserved berries in the bathroom
A tiny arrangement on your bedside table
A sprig of eucalyptus tied to gift packages
A single rose on your coffee table tray
These details make your entire home feel curated - like every corner has been gently cared for.
7. Embrace Sustainability in Every Step
Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Decorating consciously doesn’t mean sacrificing beauty - it means designing with intention.
This Christmas:
Choose seasonal or locally grown flowers whenever possible.
Reuse vases and ribbons from previous years.
Opt for preserved florals to reduce waste and extend longevity.
Compost leftover stems and foliage instead of discarding them.
Every small action contributes to a more beautiful world,., and a more authentic sense of celebration.
Key Takeaways
Start with your entrance. A natural wreath or garland sets the festive tone.
Keep your table organic. Mix greenery, fresh flowers, and candles for effortless beauty.
Mix preserved and fresh elements for sustainability and endurance.
Embrace warm neutrals. Ivory, gold, and taupe bring elegance beyond traditional red and green.
Add meaning with small gestures. Every bloom should feel intentional, not ornamental.
A Final Thought
The beauty of Christmas florals isn’t about perfection, it’s about atmosphere. A single vase of flowers, chosen with care, can transform how a home feels.
At PIERR Flowers, we believe the most memorable designs are those that make people pause, that blend nature, emotion, and comfort in equal measure.
This Christmas, may your flowers not just decorate your home, but also tell the story of everything you love about this season.
