Try Something Different - Lavender in the Winter

Tuesday December 9, 2008
Best decorating solutions are always the ones that contain the element of surprise, or a fresh, creative touch. It is that unexpected combination of the old and new furniture pieces, or the unexpected use of an item that brings a smile or a sense of wonder every time you look at it.

Ultimately, best interior decorating is an art that evokes beautiful emotions and uplifts you.

This winter, try something different, like filling your home with the presence of calming lavender. You can use it in so many ways and the results are always excellent - a sense of calm, peace and relaxation.

You can go for lavender candles, burn lavender essential oil in a candle or electric diffuser, use the convenient lavender air mist, have a bunch of lavender flowers in your bedroom or use art with lavender. Go for a lavender theme in your bathroom or your bedroom.

Inhaling the healing aroma of lavender will put your worries to rest in no time and remind you that no matter what is happening in the outside world, you are always taken care of! Photo: (c) Shaker

Nice article on using lavender wreath. I really like to make use of wildflowers. I air dry wildflowers and place them in a lovely vase.
