5 Ways to decorate your room with orchids
1
Orchids on the windowsills
Actually, windowsills are not the ideal places for orchids. Only north or east facing windows will do. Orchids don’t like harsh sunlight.
2
Orchids on the floor and furniture
Because orchids prefer indirect sunlight, you can place them anywhere in the room – on the floor or furniture. If you have a window in your bathroom, you can put the orchid there – it loves humidity.

Orchid mini garden
Go big with orchids – the more the merrier. Accommodate a few of them in a vase or basket, or put on a small table or bench. Few things are more eye-catching. This orchid garden could be a striking piece of your interior decor.

Orchid backdrops
Creating an orchid backdrop in your room can be like a colorful cloth hanging at the back of a theater stage as part of the scenery. Fill a large bookcase or the wall shelves with marvelous orchid blooms and you’ll be pleased and impressed with the results.

Hanging orchids
Hanging orchids are very impressive and don’t occupy the floor, but it’s not that easy to take care of them.
“The orchid is Mother Nature’s masterpiece.” – Robyn.
Orchids and the interior design styles
Oriental style
If the interior contains elements of oriental style, then you simply cannot do without orchids. In a rich and decorative oriental setting, orchids look “in their place” – they dilute a pompous design by giving it airiness and grace.
Japanese style
In the Japanese interior, the orchid is a very popular decor theme – plants, paintings with orchids, decorative tiles, and wall art are very common in this country.
Classic style
Very popular in all countries, the classic style is perfect to introduce the orchids.
Minimalist style
In the laconic and strict minimalism, a delicate orchid flower looks especially elegant. Luxurious and bold, the orchid flower is a little bit unexpected there, but this is what the modern approach to interior design is all about.
High-tech style
The orchid makes a high-tech room cozy and homely.
Loft and industrial styles
In ultra-modern loft and industrial styles, orchids can look very interesting, making the room more lively and warm.
Country style
Probably, it’s the only interior design style where the delicate and sophisticated flower doesn’t fit.
What you might don’t know about the orchids
- The rule of thumb for watering orchids is: rarely, but lots at a time.
- Orchids don’t like transplanting; do it rarely and only if the roots don’t fit in the pot.
- Don’t touch orchid buds. Firstly, there is no need of it. Secondly, orchid buds are extremely sensitive to plant’s viruses and unsanitary handling can be one of the main causes of orchids’ infections. If for any reason you must touch, wash your hands with soap and warm water before handling your plant.
“I try to always have flowers in the house. I have a florist in Chinatown, and they deliver orchids every two weeks. I like living with living things.” -Phillip Lim
