“A thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever”

Interior décor has many facets. Home interior decor is an art that enhances our lives. Below outlines a few considerations for home décor shopping.

Our suggestion for home décor shopping depends on the following:

• Space management
• Themes of interest
• Atmosphere desired
• Small apartment or mansion with surrounding gardens
• Lighting, furniture, and colors already in place.

•   Space management is one of the main aspects that should be given importance.

 Even a simple normal day-to-day place can be made to look gorgeous, with the proper selection of furniture, furnishings and artificial greenery, trees, plants and flowers. 

Interior design depends on the size of the rooms and the place location the house is situated. One has to consider first the main amenities, next furniture their size and color; then rugs and carpets. Once deciding those, one may have to decide on wall color, shades, window curtains and silk greenery that will enhance each other.

Home interior décor may also be based on themes and motifs. Country, modern, old world Europe, Gothic themes are some of the themes, which people go for. It may also be very casual and utilitarian.

One may decide to do the interior decor oneself, or go ask for a designerﾒs help.

Interior design basically starts with the color and the tone. Bright colors and dark ones, soft and strong ones generate different feelings. Psychologists have found strong co-relation between our feelings and the color we choose.

Orchids are the favorites of horticulturists’ world over, due to the intricate and colorful designs of their blossoms. So intricate are orchid blossoms that they have long been compared to snowflakes. To date, there have been at least 35000 orchid species identified and many more may be discovered.

While orchids are tremendously popular, maintaining live orchids can be very demanding. Temperature, humidity and light are the main factors to take into account. Although orchids are usually thought of as tropical, most orchids will die if they are watered too often.

The hard work involved in growing live orchids leads many enthusiasts to the silk varieties instead. The most popular varieties of artificial orchids are: Phalaenopsis orchids, Dendrobium orchids, Cattleya orchids, Vanda orchids and Cymbidium orchids.

Silk Phalaenopsis orchids have a long, tapering stem with large, flat flower. The two most popular varieties are the Royal and the Deluxe. The Royal Phalaenopsis is typically available as a 36” specimen in white or lavender. The Deluxe Phalaenopsis generally exhibits a richer color and is available as a 34” specimen. Smaller 27” artificial silk specimens are also available, typically ranging in price from $17 to $25.

Giant Artificial Trees

Giant artificial trees can be used both indoors and outdoors. However, because of their size, they are best suited in homes which actually have the space to house them. Recently, the demand for giant artificial trees has increased due to the number of estate-like homes which have been constructed in the past few years.

Giant artificial trees use indoors tends to increase in popularity around the Christmas season. Giant artificial trees in demand at this time include firs, spruces and pines. The most sought after trees are typically 12 feet to 15 feet in height but some specimens can exceed even 25 feet. Generally, giant artificial trees of this type have a price range of $500 to $1500.

However, giant artificial trees are not limited to seasonal popularity. There are many varieties of giant artificial silk trees which can be used indoors at any time of the year. The most common of these are the Ficus Bamboo and palm.

Silk ficus trees are typically available as 10 foot, 12 foot and 14 foot specimens with a price tag ranging from $700 upwards. Most trees are manufactured with long natural stems and thick artificial foliage. This makes them ideal for use in room corners and offices.

Artificial bamboo plants are inclined to be a bit more expensive with prices ranging from $1400 to $2200. However, these giant artificial trees also tend to be larger and can reach grandeur heights of over 16 feet. Typically these plants are popular and sold as an arrangement but individual specimens are available and add a touch of elegance to any environment.

Tall Palm trees are available as preserved palm trees with steel reinforcing for a long life. These are 20 to 30 feet tall and ideal for shopping malls and hotel lobbies.

Giant artificial trees can also be used outdoors, either for home or shopping malls. While many tree types may theoretically be used, palms are typically the most popular variety in this case.

These preserved giant trees can range from 12 feet to 23 feet in height and have to be made with heavy duty metal structures to increase stabilization. They are typically built on a steel frame and the fronds are treated to minimize fading from sun damage. These giant artificial trees can be quite expensive, with 21 feet Coconut palms costing anywhere between $2500 and $3000. However, smaller Cycas palms can be obtained for less but rarely exceed 10 feet in height.

The advantages of using giant artificial trees over live trees are numerous. In the case of outdoor specimens, it is often easier to move an artificial tree as there is no need to uproot it. There is also no possibility of insect damage. Giant artificial trees are long-lasting as they do not wilt and, when considering pine trees, they do not shed.

In dealing with trees of this height, it must be noted that natural trees would take many years to achieve the desired size. With giant artificial trees, the effect is instantaneous as there is no long growing time. Additionally, and especially in the case of artificial Christmas trees, they can be easily packed away and re-used for a number of years, thereby cutting costs tremendously. Some of our giant trees require assembly.
