There are lots of wonderful reasons to keep fresh flowers in your home every day. We all appreciate the beauty of flowers, but did you know that flowers are actually GOOD for you?

Research shows that flowers really do brighten your day, and that delivers mental health benefits. "Things that are beautiful to the senses capture our attention and quiet the mind in an effortless way," says the study’s lead researcher. “What we didn’t know is that spending a few days with flowers in the home can affect a wide variety of feelings.” Women who received flowers reported a more positive mood up to 3 days later. Flowers given to people over 55 were not only reported to improve mood but short term memory.

The scent of certain flowers can also have a wonderful effect. For example, the scent of a rose can evoke nostalgia that brings happy moments back to memory, while the scent of lilies can increase wakefulness and help you stay alert.

So, what you suspected all along is true - flowers have a positive impact on our wellbeing! Find out more – click on Flower Power! And, if you’d like some fresh ideas about how and where to place flowers in your home every day, check out the latest design trends!
