Make your workspace bloom

What is the first gift you think of purchasing for someone if you want to put a smile on their face - flowers, are we right? Studies have been conducted showing that flowers create a friendly work environment in addition to enhancing creativity and productivity when placed in the office.

In create more stimulations in the workspace, we went to ask our friends at Berlin-based flower delivery company Bloomy Days for their tips on using the right flowers to help improve the creative and productive juices in a workspace.

So let’s start with some must know flower tips for any office:

• Choose flowers that have a neutral smell. Some people love the smell of fresh flowers, others may complain for them causing a headache, so although they may spell impeccable proceed with caution.
• Choose flowers that don’t create any residues,as it may lead to nasty stains on clothes and a hefty dry cleaning bill for you.
• Choose flowers that can hold over the work week as you don’t want to worry about replacing them every 2 days, we’re sure you don’t have time for that.
• Choose flowers in season. Hot tip, at the moment Amaryllis are the flowers used over the Christmas period.
• Last but not least, lisianthus, lilies, roses are always good choices, you can’t go wrong.
• Keep the flowers happy (as no one likes the look or smell of dead flowers)! Make sure to change the water and the flower stems every 2 days. And do not put flowers next to heaters or in direct sunlight.

Now that you have some of the basics down, how do you use the flowers to decorate your space? For starters if you want to get creative, why not put flowers together that represent your company colors? Nothing like staying on brand in more ways than one.

Next question is all about flower placement in the office. Meeting rooms, receptions areas, side boards are always a good bet. If you want to get even more fancy, a flower in a vase on every person's desk is always a nice gesture.
