Fake flowers have long had a naff reputation; however, it’s unrealistic for most of us to consider buying a bunch of fresh peonies every week. Luckily, there’s a flower trend that means you can fill every vase in the house without putting together an elaborate savings spreadsheet: dried flowers. Online shopping boutique Trouva said this was going to be a key interiors trends back in 2019, and two years later my Instagram feed is taken over with pictures of dried eucalyptus, lavender and thistles.
Like with most of our style obsessions, this started in Paris as the likes of Jeanne Damas, Sabina Socol and Marissa Cox placed sprawling dried bunches of grass in straw baskets. Preserved flowers are now typically chosen instead of fresh flowers.
