We were lucky enough to attend a preview of the spectacular flower event that is the RHS Chelsea flower show. Wandering around among the glorious gardens has totally inspired us to bring a little touch of flora and forna into our homes.
It's claimed that plants and flowers indoors can have such a positive effect on our well-being. So decorating with home accessories featuring bright blooms and lovely leaf motifs can only add up to a happy home, right?

The magnificent vases
It's often said that less is more. Single stems of foliage displayed in the right way can make a huge visual impact. Especially when they sit in gloriously coloured vessels.
These new single stem vases from West Elm are perfect to introduce some happy hues into our homes. Inspired by vintage forms, the 100 per cent earthenware vases come in a variety of rich colours finished in crackle, reactive or lustre glazes. How many do you think we can get away with buying?!
Buy now: Bright Ceramicist Vases, from £14 each, West Elm
The leggy planters
Seeing the RHS gardens filled with lush greenery has inspired us to invest in more houseplants. Planters are best elevated this season, to make more of a style statement.
When off the ground planters feel less bulky and therefore more appealing for smaller spaces. When elevated the natural light floods under the pots, making all the difference to how well they integrate into the home.
Buy now: Tall planters, from £55, Next
Trend alert: Leggy planters are everywhere
