New In: Flowers, Vases, Mirrors and Armchairs

A room comes together in layers: a seat that sets the volume, a mirror that reflects the light, a flower that softens the whole. This collection brings together orchid arrangements in vases or pots, dining armchairs and chairs, as well as mirrors.

An orchid at the right height

The arrangements range from around forty centimeters to more than eighty. Under fifty centimeters, the flower sits on a coffee table or dining table without blocking the view between guests. Taller stems are best kept for a console or a corner of the living room, where they are seen from the front.

The vase is half the decor

A conical vase shows off the stem and gives a slender silhouette, a round vase gathers the arrangement and suits small spaces, an elongated pot presents it like a plant. First choose the shape that suits your furniture, then the flower: the same orchid takes on a different look depending on the container that holds it.

Measure the seat, place the mirror

A small dining armchair dresses the end of a table better than a chair, provided you check the width at the armrests and the clearance under the tabletop. The same model appears several times: only the fabric and the color change. On the wall, a mirror placed opposite a window bounces daylight toward the back of the room.

Frequently asked questions

What orchid height for a dining table?

Stay under fifty centimeters to keep the view clear between guests. Taller models go on a console.

Will a dining armchair fit under the table?

It depends on the height of the armrests and that of the tabletop. Measure the underside of your table, then compare that measurement with the armchair's.

Where should I place a mirror to gain light?

Opposite a window, or on the wall perpendicular to it, never in a dark corner. A mirror doesn't create light, it reflects it.
