Whether you're decorating with dried flowers or fresh blooms, nothing beats a vase filled with your favorite stems. An easy yet impactful flourish that uplifts and soothes, I've long relied on this fail-proof decoration to get me through the dark depths of winter.
While I'll typically opt for a vase to house my blooms of choice, I'm rethinking all my usual pieces after spotting Robin Wright's nifty yet surprisingly chic little bouquet. Taking some peonies, she creates a clever arrangement with an unassuming vessel – a vintage alcohol bottle.
What I love about Robin's floral arrangement is its simplicity. It radiates rustic charm and proves that even the most effortless touches can make all the difference to an empty surface. It's something any of us can recreate at home.

Arranging flowers is a long-loved way to uplift the home.

A period when our homes need a refresh, it's amazing how much difference a simple vase filled with seasonal stems.
