20 Modern Faux Flower Arrangements
Flowers are pretty much a must when it comes to interior design. The only problem is that flowers don’t last long, and it can be an investment to always have fresh flowers brightening up your creative space. Faux flowers are the obvious solution. But we’re not talking about those faux flowers. Once you get a look at these fresh ways to arrange mock stems, you’re definitely going to rethink everything you ever thought you knew about paper, fabric and silk petals.
