Top 10 House Flowers and what they Say About You.
Flowers have always played a part in symbolising places and characteristics. Back in the ye olden times, women were taught about all the different flowers and what they each symbolised as a part of personal development and occasions.
So, of course, let's have a more contemporary, tongue in cheek approach to what your favourite flower says about you and your style.
Roses
You’re most likely a Disney/rom-com fan. Sure these are gorgeous flowers. But, they’re safe. And expensive!
What they say about you: You’re Classic, timeless, and never going out of style. You don’t take risks. You know what works, and you stick with it. You know how to make a statement, but it’s a tad predictable.
Tulips
You’ve stepped up and away from the token rose approach to flowers.
What they say about you: You’re considerate and confident, and your personal style can change a lot based on your mood, but you keep it sleek and co-ordinated.
Billy Balls flowers
You’re for sure a graphic designer or illustrator in a one-bedroom apartment. You probably own and use a wall calendar from Etsy. Or! even better, sell calendars you made on Indesign on Etsy.
What they say about you: You’re super optimistic, put together but sweet about it. You’ll find the good in anything. And you’re probably a morning person.
Sunflowers
You’re for sure a travel bo-ho blogger. Or at least an aspiring one. You live in an over-saturated, high contrast apartment with big hopes and dreams.
What they say about you: Your favourite activity? Planning your next trip and pinning that ‘reach out’ pose to use in every new location you travel to and compile it into a TikTok vid. You're warm and bright, and you’re never without a bold, yet somewhat predictable statement piece.
Peonies
So you’re not afraid to splurge on a good flower. You’re an all-round put-together person. You probably have your pantry and fridge organised with acrylic containers.
What they say about you: You’re super positive person who’s always planning ahead. You’re thoughtful and empathetic towards others. You’re also most likely your best friends maid of honour or best man. Your style? Bold, bright and elegant, but not overbearing. Probably own 3 of the same, yet slightly different navy blazers.
Lilies
You’re probably easily affected by what goes on around you. I imagine you’ve had a hard day and you just picked up the lilies at the supermarket check-out on a whim to perk yourself up. You didn’t overthink it.
What they say about you: You know how to dress, but you’re not so great with interiors. You can work a catwalk or fancy dress but as soon as you get home, its a whole different story.
Carnations
You for sure! Shop at Aldi. And why not!? Great prices. But you’re a budget queen. You’ll pick these up because they’re essentially colourful and flowers. Which everyone has told you is something you should have in your home every now and then. You’re not the creative or symbolic type.
What they say about you: You’re down-to-earth, if not, a bit bland corporate professional type. You budget everything, and you’re going to have one hell of an investment portfolio.
Poppies
You’re great at parties and for long chats on the phone! You’re quirky, fun and a creative type, and you love it when people notice that about you.
What they say about you: Your style is bold and colourful, and you’re definitely not afraid to test out new trends that others shy away from.
Gardenias
One word; ‘Perfectionist.’ You can’t leave the house without wearing your signature, exotic perfume. You’re a super informed and well-curated lifestyle blogger.
What they say about you: Some could call you high maintenance, but that’s what's charming about you. Because regardless of little things potentially setting you off. You care a lot and have a lot of compassion and empathy for those around you.
