The panel will become a bright accent in the interior of your apartment.
Original bright accents in the interior can be paintings, photographs or panels of flowers on the walls. Decorating your own apartment is an opportunity to realize creative ideas and express yourself through unusual decor. You can create voluminous flower arrangements yourself or order such creative works from experienced decorators.
What is remarkable about a panel of flowers
You can add individuality to the interior of your home by placing exclusive floral panels on the stele using other materials - twigs, fruits or ribbons.
Such works will definitely attract the eye due to their special characteristics:
- A bright composition on a plain background attracts attention;
- Delicate flowers used in the work will add calmness to the interior;
- Volumetric work looks unusual on a flat wall;
- All compositions are made by hand and therefore unique.
When placing a flower arrangement on the wall, you don’t have to be afraid that it will emit harmful substances and be hazardous to health, because all the materials used are environmentally friendly.
A creative three-dimensional panel is a wonderful gift that is sure to become a favorite piece of furniture. Read more about this in the material:.
Depending on the type of room in which the panel will hang, it may contain artificial, fresh or dried flowers, fruits, pebbles, mother-of-pearl shells or other natural or artificial materials. Collected in one composition, they will create a certain image for the room.
You can get ideas for decorating panels and rooms in general in special stores, florist catalogs, handicraft magazines, attend a master class, or look at examples of the work of designers or amateurs.
Abstraction
Do you have a lone chair in a rich lemon color in your room? Support the accent with a laconic picture painted yourself!
We are witnessing the triumph of abstract art, and in most galleries we encounter canvases that seem to have come from the brush of either a child or a dolphin. So if the difference is not significant, why not try writing your own creation? Drawing classes bring incredible pleasure, and the result simply cannot be bad or wrong!
A simple and elegant option is a gradient image. You don't need instructions to play it. Take a few minutes of your time, stock up on a roller or brush, two paints (primary and white) – a few strokes, and the bright accessory is ready.
Draw broken horizontal stripes; they will resemble visualized sound waves or complex graphs, and therefore will always be interesting to examine. Golden foil or paint will help to dilute the severity of the lines. You can leave empty spaces, and strokes should be done in one motion. It is best to combine gold with a white background, as well as contrasting rough materials - concrete or brick.
In general, images can be anything. It is not necessary to draw something intricate - even children's blots, circles and triangles, diamonds and waves will become real poetry if you select the right colors.
How to make a floral panel with your own hands
To decorate the walls, you can order panels from experienced craftswomen, but it is better to make such a composition with your own hands, especially since it is not so difficult. Such a floral panel will not only be unique, but its performer will also feel proud when guests appreciate her work.
Before you start creating, you need to decide what flowers and other decorations will be used.
You can choose from the following colors:
- Artificial ready-made;
- Alive;
- Dried flowers;
- Tape;
- Paper;
- Knitted;
- Made from natural materials.
You don’t have to limit yourself to the list presented above, because some craftsmen make flowers from any available materials: cotton pads, plastic forks, fabric, dough, plasticine and other things.
Particular attention should be paid to the background, since it is it that will unite the composition into a single whole. The background of the painting should not be bright or contrasting with the color of the wall on which the panel will hang, otherwise the painting will not be effective enough.
Modular picture
To create a room decoration such as a modular picture made of fabric, you will need a base in addition to the selected material. It could even be a door from an old cabinet or a piece of chipboard that could easily be lying around somewhere in the garage after renovation.
Cut out several pieces from the base to the size of your fabric and cover the tree with it. Make sure that the fabric is well stretched and does not form wrinkles. Your painting is almost ready. All that remains is to attach the hooks with which it will be attached to the wall.
Most often, such paintings consist of three or more modules, which may be the same size or different. Their shape can also be different.
The most common and easiest to manufacture are square and rectangular elements. But there are round, oval and other forms of modules for paintings. Frames for picture modules are not needed in this case.
A panel of artificial flowers - simple and effective
The simplest option for creating a floral panel would be to create a composition of artificial flowers. Even a beginner can do such work; it is only important to decide on the general idea of the composition.
A tapestry panel in the interior is an excellent option to decorate a wall in your home. We will tell you about the history of the creation of tapestries and their use in interior decoration in the article: .
The panel may depict:
- Bouquet of flowers;
- A simple picture;
- Flower bush;
- A tropical forest.
When assembling a composition, you need to pay attention to the color of the elements used so that they match each other. All necessary materials must be prepared in advance, so to create a floral panel with your own hands you will definitely need artificial flowers, a base (burlap, paper, plywood, cardboard), glue (Moment or PVA), a frame and glass.
Whether to use glass or not depends on individual preference. The decorative composition will be stored behind glass longer, but if you refuse it, you can place some elements outside the frame. Thus, the picture will turn out interesting and voluminous and will enliven the wall.
Design design
In order for the decor with artificial flowers to be of high quality and complete, you need to start with a project. All the subtleties of the future design are displayed on paper
It is important to think over the general idea, style, color palette, composition, and you need to take into account the budget
If you don’t want to hire a decorator to implement the design, then you can at least instruct him to draw up a detailed plan with sketches and descriptions; this option will be more successful, because Such design requires special skills and extensive experience in floristry

Original floral panel made of fresh flowers
A beautiful decorative panel can also be made from fresh flowers. In this case, the work will turn out to be more fragile and less durable, but very sensual and tender.
An original panel for a children's room can be made from wallpaper. We'll teach you in the next article: .
To create a panel of fresh flowers, you can use the following ideas:
- Attach a small vase with water to the base of the panel in the frame, in which you can place bouquets of your favorite fresh flowers;
- Glue fern leaves onto the base at different angles to create the feeling of an impenetrable jungle;
- Attach wildflowers to the background with tape, such work will quickly deteriorate, but the flowers can always be replaced with fresher ones, and every day the composition will have a different look, and from dry ones you can make a different picture;
- Install a special tray with soil in which the shoots of indoor flowers will grow in a certain way.
When working with fresh flowers, we must not forget about water and special care, because they can easily be damaged and thereby spoil the overall appearance of the composition. Pictures of fresh flowers look beautiful, complemented by other decorative elements - beads, sparkles, butterflies. You can create entire paintings from flowers or limit yourself to compact bouquets.
Preparing for work
The canvas for a painting made from ribbons can be burlap, denim, linen, or canvas. Other fabrics will also work, but it is advisable that they are not very thin. If desired, a plain white canvas can be painted with watercolors, creating a beautiful background.
The choice of frame should be approached carefully. If the picture is replete with different bright colors and an abundance of paints, then a frame in a restrained style is better suited. If the picture is delicate, two or three colors predominate, then a carved and elegant frame will emphasize its beauty.
When choosing a frame, pay attention to its strength. Pictures made from ribbons weigh a lot, so the frame must be strong.
Hot glue gun is perfect for gluing parts and forming a picture. You can replace it with Moment Crystal glue or other transparent glue. It is important to apply glue in the middle of the part so that later it does not spread and spoil the appearance. Any scissors will do, but it’s easier to use short ones. The main thing is that they are sharp.
For convenience, you should use tweezers. It is better if it has rounded edges; sharp edges can catch the threads of the ribbon, so you need to be careful.
Rhinestones, beads, stamens, beads, lace, buttons and other accessories that can be picked up in handicraft stores will add interesting effects and decorate the picture.

Interior compositions: rich assortment
Modern artificial flowers are beautiful individually, but they look even more attractive in the form of specially created compositions.
By analyzing the most successful ways of combining color and texture, you can get creative decorations that will look organic in any interior.
Flower bouquets give rooms an elegant and festive look and can decorate not only an apartment or house, but also offices, cafes, restaurants and salons.
The most common types of flower arrangements:
- Bouquets. If, according to the rules of floristry, you collect flowers of various shapes and colors into one bouquet, then it can be used to decorate the room permanently or for a special event.
- Plant in the pot. The stems of artificial flowers are secured inside the pot in polystyrene foam, foam rubber, floral sponge or a plastic circle with holes. To enhance the natural effect, artificial green branches are added.
- In the basket. Bouquets in a basket look good on an empty wall, filling and decorating the space. No less interesting options are the use of climbing plants such as ivy in the basket.
- Pots with flowers. Wide floor vases are used in spacious halls and pavilions or when creating an indoor winter garden.
- Figures from flowers. Figurines of fairy-tale characters or favorite animals made from flowers can be presented as an unusual and very original gift.
- Compositions for the garden. Artificial vines are used to decorate arches and fences, and floating water lilies are placed in an artificial pond.
Imitating natural flowers, artificial plants are practically no different in appearance from natural ones and create a feeling of coziness and comfort in the home.
Denim creativity
You can create beautiful paintings from denim, or from denim fabric. They are made voluminous by combining different shades of this durable fabric. They make such paintings as ordinary appliqués from fabric. They select a plot, prepare a lot of scraps and glue them to the base with glue.
Artist Ian Berry has created many such works, we invite you to be inspired by his work.
Step-by-step production
Making a living picture from flowers and greenery is difficult, but quite possible. For these purposes, it is necessary to prepare all the necessary elements of the composition and strictly follow the instructions presented below.
Required Tools
To create the piece you will need the following materials:
- Sheet of plywood.
- Nails.
- Gloves for carrying out the process.
- Wire cutters.
- Hammer.
- Priming.
- Wooden frame.
- Decorative materials for decoration.
- Metal mesh.
All these components will need to be fastened into a single frame; therefore, a mesh should be selected that is suitable in size for the frame. You also need to prepare a special insulating film that will protect walls and other surfaces from moisture penetration and mold development.
After choosing the greenery for decoration, we proceed directly to making the base. The dimensions of the plywood sheet, frame and mesh are determined in advance in accordance with the planned project. It is better to use oak plywood; it is more reliable and resistant to loads.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Place the frame face down and stretch the metal mesh over it. We remove excess parts of the mesh with wire cutters.
- We nail wooden blocks on top of the mesh. It is better to carry out such work together - one person nails it, while the other tightens the mesh.
- Then we stretch a special insulating mesh over the resulting fabric and securely fix it.
- We evenly distribute the base along the mesh - moss is perfect for these purposes, which will prevent soil from spilling out through the holes.
Note! In addition to this option for making the base, it is possible to simply nail a sheet of plywood to the frame instead of moss and mesh. This option is much more reliable, but the design becomes heavier.
- Then we lay the soil on the moss and again distribute the moss over the entire surface of the future living picture.
- We stretch the mesh again and nail it.
- Next we plant greenery and mount the structure to the wall.
Color selection
Plant installation
Installation of greenery is quite simple. To do this, you need to carefully make holes in the ground with pruning shears. The incision is made several millimeters deep. If you don’t have a pruner, you can use a bamboo stick. You should also understand that after planting, the plants require certain care - watering, removing dry leaves.
Attaching the painting to the wall and further care
After completing the above steps, you will need to ensure that the structure is securely attached to the wall. To do this, use at least two fasteners. Determine where the composition will be at the bottom, and where the author himself will be at the top. It can also be hung in a diamond shape. But in any case, the bottom edge of the work should protrude slightly. To ensure the tilt of the structure, you can use two wooden blocks that are nailed to the bottom edge of the frame, or simply screw two self-tapping screws of the same size into it.
- Paintings need to be watered twice a month; sprayers are used for this purpose;
- You also need to regularly remove dead leaves and replace them with living greens;
- Once a year the work will have to be removed to loosen the soil.
Living paintings made from real flowers are a stylish and original piece of furniture that will certainly appeal to all the inhabitants of the house and its guests. It is not easy to do such a thing, but it is possible. To make it, you do not need any special skills; it is enough to have aesthetic taste and follow the recommendations presented.
Kanzashi technique
Nowadays, flower paintings in the “kanzashi” style are very popular. Many needlewomen successfully sell the results of their labors and even organize master classes on making compositions from kanzash. But it’s easy to make them yourself. In addition to the materials already listed above, you will need a satin ribbon approximately 2cm wide and thick fabric. It is recommended to take both the ribbon and the fabric in two similar shades (for example, blue and light blue, pink and red), and green material for the leaves will also be useful.
The sequence of actions is as follows:
- Cut the fabric into strips 1cm wide.
- Twist each strip into rolls and secure with glue to prevent unwinding.
- Glue pastel colored paper onto the cardboard.
- Glue fabric blanks along the perimeter of the cardboard sheet, placing them vertically and alternating colors.
- Now the satin ribbon needs to be cut into strips 4 cm long.
- Bend the strips along their length, cut off the tip diagonally, glue the base and turn the petal out.
- Cut circles with a diameter of about 3 cm from the fabric - the base of the flower.
- Glue petals to the circles, alternating colors.
- You can glue a bead into the middle.
- In the same way you need to make leaves from green material.
- Next, all the flowers are glued onto a cardboard base.
- The composition itself can be supplemented with fabric appliqué in the form of a flower pot or vase, a window or windowsill, figurines of birds, ladybugs and much more. The idea of using a pocket from unwanted jeans looks interesting.
Wet cloth
The fabric drapes quite easily. This property has found application in the creation of natural elements in paintings. Fabric moistened with paste is placed on the base (plywood) and draped by hand in the necessary places. This technique allows you to create clouds, water ripples, mountain range wrinkles and clothing on human figures. The remaining parts of the picture are drawn and supplemented with various natural elements. The technique is so simple that it is suitable even for beginners.
