People believe that Minimalist design began in the mid 20th century while influencing architecture in the 1920s. Renowned architect Van der Rohe was the first to use such creations in his methods, notably after World War II. His artwork soon became popular due to the availability of numerous modern elements and objects, from glass to concrete and steel.
In interior design, minimalism encompasses simple furniture, artworks, and paintings. It also uses natural, outdoors-inspired colours and objects, like plants. Read the guide below for stems that will fit well for simple yet elegant décor.
Fern for a Stylish Christmas Floral Array
Nothing says minimalist so well as Ferns. According to design experts, when laid out strategically, evergreen plants can become an extravagant part of any minimalist decoration. They add earth-toned elements to the aesthetic while providing you with nature-inspired energy.
Ferns -The World's Oldest Plants
According to legends, Ferns are one of the world's oldest plants. They date back to the Middle Devonian times, 383-393 million years ago. Most of the older plants are extinct. Rhacophytale, a group of plants, are some of the earliest prototypes of Ferns. Today, Ferns are one of the most commonly used plants in the world.
Different cultures use these plants in different and unique ways. During The Victorian Era, The British chose Ferns for decorative art, pottery, textiles, sculptures, and more. That then led to Wardian cases to protect the plants while used indoors.
These blooms are in Folklore too. For instance, in Slavic Folklore, people think that whoever sees a Fern has a guarantee for a happy and prosperous life. So, imbued with revitalising green shades, they are a characteristic option as Christmas flower decorations.
Lavender Blooms
Minimalism centres around simplicity, and what better way to provoke this than with Lavender coloured flowers? The colour provokes sentiments like nurture, calmness, and support too. It also is a symbol of spring, care, and femininity. These flowers are trendy and people use them to decorate bedrooms. They support the reduction of stress and anxiety. Lavender belongs to the Mint Plant family, Lamiaceae.
Lavender's native home is the Old World, grown widely in Cape Verde, the Canary Islands, Europe, and many other parts of the world. Many use them for landscape purposes and culinary herbs while extracting their oils. For centuries, people have used them in cosmetics and for medical purposes. The calmness they bring makes them an excellent choice for the Christmas holiday season.
