Nosegay Bunches
Groupings of nosegays can be more romantic than one big vase full. Designer and gardener Carolyne Roehm recommends arranging them naturally, like the blooms just came from the garden.

A Modern Vignette
A pedestal table like this is the perfect place to perch a floral arrangement in a hallway, entrance, or corner that needs a little extra attention. We love the way this one plays with light, making the vignette look more like an art installation than everyday decor.

Dried Flowers and Pampas Grass
If you don't like flowers because they die quickly, decorate with dry flowers and plants instead. Pampas grass is a particularly lovely option. It exudes that signature California-cool vibe but still fits in with a modern, neutral color palette, making it perfect for subtle spring decorating. Just take note from this Catherine Kwong-designed living room.

Guided by Wall Art
Though many different flower arrangements would work beautifully here thanks to the colorful wall art, the purple pansies really bring this bedroom to life. The takeaway? Match your floral arrangements to nearby artwork, as seen in this bedroom designed by Arent & Pyke.

Fitting Right In
For a splashy accent, think of the color wheel and choose complementary shades. For example, these peach roses pop inside this gray-blue room while speaking to the coral arm chair.

In the Entryway
Even a super formal and modern space can feel inviting with the right floral centerpiece. The floral motif in the carpet softens up the cool gray colors and architectural console table and lamps, while the oversized branches put us in touch with nature.

Bedside Cheer
Why should your yard get to enjoy the hydrangea blooms all by itself? In an eclectic bedroom designed by Arent & Pyke, a beautiful pastel cluster perks up a shapely black table. They complement the bedding without being too matchy-matchy as well.

Blooming Tabletop
Designer Heather Taylor recreated the motif on her great-grandmother's plates for a garden party's bouquets. "Even if guests don't notice the reference, it's a lovely detail that adds a fun symmetry," she says of the bluebells and marigolds.

Flowering Branches
Fill up an empty space with a towering arrangement, like the grouping of cherry blossoms in this colorful farmhouse. If you use clear glass, the stems are visible and part of the design. In that case, add a few drops of bleach to the water to keep it clear, says Roehm.

On a Console
This gorgeous floral arrangement is all the console table needs to go from low-key to photo-ready. It still works within the preexisting neutral color scheme, yet makes the whole space feel so much more alive.

These eye-catching flowers fit right into this space designed by Arent & Pyke, where lighting and furniture double as artwork. They incorporate the pink swirls of the marble table as well the pale lavender light fixture. Tropical flowers like this will always deliver vivid color and intrigue.

A Strict Color Story
Orange isn't just for Halloween. Photographer and author Ngoc Minh Ngo collaborated with floral designer Nicolette Owen to design a citrus-y spring tablescape, placing flowers in small containers of varying heights and styles.

Proportion Play
For a unique look, play with scale and proportion. We love how these tall branches introduce some grandiosity, even while perched on a low console table or media cabinet.

Pops of Color
This living room designed by 2LG Studio is ready for spring. The yellow tulips on the mantle and bright peonies on the coffee table are both low-lift but powerful additions for a spring refresh.

Matching Vessels
You can't go wrong with blue and white — with blooms or vessels. Here, Frances Palmer Pottery's Cambridge pitcher and Vigee vase rest on Clarence House's Milano velvet.

Rich Orchids
Have we mentioned the power of flowers yet? The rich pigment of these orchids change the entire feel of this living room designed by Arent & Pyke. A simple glass vase let's the flowers steal the spotlight. The colorful throw pillow does a nice job dressing up the more casual elements of the room, too, like the jute rug and linen upholstery.

Opaque Vases
Metal, ceramic and even colored glass vessels are more forgiving than clear vases—especially if you plan to use foam, marbles or a flower frog for stability.

Rainbow Bouquets
Displayed in a pair of wide glass vases, this bursting arrangement instantly brightens a sideboard. But the vessels can also be repositioned to fill two ends of a long dining table.

Country Fresh
Liven up a country kitchen or rustic breakfast buffet table with bright yellow wildflowers. An aged vase will contribute to the historied feel.

Tonal and Textured
We love how the flowers pick up on the peach-hued drapes and blush coffee table while the inky black vases speak to the walls and general elegance of the space. They also bring in so much more texture.
Eclectic decor can benefit from a cohesive color scheme. An all-blue palette refreshes the onetime hotel that John Knott and John Fondas transformed into their Maine summer house.

Quirky and Tropical
This floral arrangement adds a fun tropical quirk to the industrial space. It proves that even a converted warehouse building can feel like a tropical vacation with the right floral arrangement.

Seasonal Favorites
Flowers that bloom at the same time — like lilacs and tulips — often look beautiful in a bouquet. For fillers, use whatever's green and growing near them, advises Roehm.

Roses paired with citrus and wispy branches makes for a dramatic and colorful centerpiece. Surrounded by black candles, this tablescape is the perfect blend of edgy and whimsy.

You only need a small display of gardenias to completely transform a space. They smell sultry and intoxicating and look romantic, making them perfect for just about any space. In this living room designed by Arent & Pyke, they soften up the modern edge.

Flared Vases
The most useful vase is mid-sized with a slightly flared opening, says Roehm. The volume of flowers and the container itself are inherently balanced.
