What if I told you there is an entire art form dedicated to floral displays? Enter: Ikebana, the ancient Japanese practice of floral arrangement. As a reflective and thoughtful ritual, Ikebana represents a way of decorating with flowers that feels more personal and intentional than simply sticking a bouquet in a vase. And believe it or not, H&M Home has a range of Ikebana vases dedicated to the art.
"Ikebana is a floral art form where blossoms, branches, leaves, and stems find new life and beauty when removed from nature and placed in a new environment," Monique Kemperman, a floral expert tells me. "It was initially practiced by emperors as a display of sophistication, but has since evolved into a meditative art form embraced by people from all walks of life."
