A guide to decorating your home with golden flowers

Home décor

Home décor and interior furnishings include everything which makes the space between your four walls into a home. No matter if you prefer a modern, rustic, or minimalist image, home décor always strikes up spatial harmony, reflecting the personality and lifestyle of those occupying the interior.

There are many different interior styles for a modern person to pick from; or they can create a home in their unique personal style.

Current decorative and interior accessories

Nowadays, many different things qualify as decorative and interior furnishings—vases, bowls, states, candles and candelabras, mirrors, wall or grandfather clocks, paintings, storage boxes, fabrics (curtains, net curtains, carpets, pillows, tablecloths, duvets), lighting (table, standing, or hanging lamps), or plants and flowers.

When selecting and deciding where to put them in the house, we consider emotions, moods, colours, textures, layers and depth, diversity, curiosity, functionality (some have a practical purpose), balance and harmony, the effect on the space, and the overall look of the room. And most importantly, we want to feel good about the things we’ve chosen.

Current trends in modern home decoration

The main trend of contemporary home decorations is above all that everything is possible and the emphasis on individuality and personalization of the space. And from other trends we can trace, for example:

• Natural materials (wood, plants, stone), but also ceramics and terracotta
• Natural and floral realism
• Combining different textures
• Neutral warm colors
• Vintage and retro popularity of the 20s, 30s, 50s
• Back to nature and biophilic design
• Organic shapes in the interior
• Carpets with unconventional, asymmetrical shapes
• Emphasis on natural light in the interior
• Combining contemporary and old (antique) decorations
• Focusing on spaces that were previously neglected (e.g. hallways, pantry)
• Emphasis on hand-crafted work and artistic decoration (eg hand-blown glass, hand-carved furniture, objets d'art), etc.

Decorative concept of GIYOU flowers

The GIYOU concept was created by a special connection of flowers, jewelry, garden and home. Gardens played an important part in the conception of GIYOU, propped up as it was by the founders’ fascination with the garden surrounding their historic homestead in Bohemia. GIYOU wished to create an enriching space where a mere walk would be an unforgettable experience and opportunity for people to find utility in the jewellery garden’s masterful flowers.

Jewelry flowers help create heartfelt moments, relationships and celebrations. And beautiful surroundings too. Because each of the flowers, even those donated, will end up in the vase of the home. And then a number of flowers are taken from the beginning directly to decorate the vase.

Home décor

Home décor turns the space between your four walls into a home, reflecting the owner’s personality and creating a comfortable, functional, aesthetically pleasant atmosphere in which to live. Decorations also help promote a sense of comfort and togetherness with the home, loved ones, and family, or inspire creativity and desire to learn. Additionally, they help make guests feel comfortable and welcome.

Our homes reflect our identity and legacy. It’s where we feel like ourselves. In our modern diverse world, creating such a home can be important.

Vase of flowers

Ancient Egypt is likely the first ever civilisation to start using vases as decorative and functional objects to hold fresh-cut flowers. Flowers from the fertile valley of Nile were often used in festivities and religious ceremonies. Full vases would decorate people’s homes, symbolising wealth, prosperity, and calling attention to nature’s beauty. Nowadays, it’s hard to imagine a home with no vases; few don’t contain fresh-cut flowers constantly or at least some of the time.

Gardens

But home isn’t the only thing people create in their exclusive spaces. The other is gardens. Their purpose is to serve as a useful, decorative living room, a place for growth, hedonism, natural reality, meditation, a play of senses and experiences, aestheticism, and representation.

Jewellery and jeweller objet d'art

Jewellery

The function of jewellery has always been related to people’s desire for beauty, power, business, tradition, personal connections with others, and art. Since time immemorial, people have tried to look better than others, to claim objects’ beauty for themselves, and assert themselves through their image.

Jewellery has also been used for “marking”, for various festivities, rituals, or as mementos, gifts, and symbols embodying or appreciating bonds with others (such as engagement or wedding rings).

Objet d'art

Jeweller objet d'art isn’t typically worn the body. Instead, it’s placed in a space and has a similar function as jewellery, besides potentially fulfilling several practical functions. And perhaps, although not as blatantly as rings or earrings, express the owner’s identity and personalise their living space.

It doesn’t matter whether GIYOU flowers should be categorised as jewellery or jeweller objet d'art. They’re meant to be purchased as gifts and symbols of precious moments, usually decorating the owner’s house after the fact. But they’re also sought-after for the specific purpose of decorating an interior, as a single flower, small silver bouquet, or exclusive large bouquets of golden flowers.

GIYOU decorations

The flowers of silver and gold are hand-made using a traditional, jewellery-crafting method and make for a unique type of home décor. We don’t know of any other similar flowers or concept, apart from GIYOU. Despite the fact that the theme of flowers is popular in crafts and applied arts.

Jewellery adorns a person; silver and golden flowers adorn the home

GIYOU jewellery flowers appeal to people, likely because they’re not mere flowers whose symbolic meaning or importance shine only in the context of ceremony or events. 

They effortlessly become a part of people’s lives, responding to their needs - including as home décor, be it just a couple of silver flowers or large golden bouquets decorating luxury interiors.

Jewellery flowers create a timeless decoration and family vases of flowers are passed down between generations. Their presence at home can evoke feelings associated with family history. And helping feelings of belonging, family relationships and preserving family memories.

Golden flowers for home décor

Some flowers give your interiors an impressive touch of luxury and uniqueness, primarily large golden bouquets, bouquets of 24ct gold or bespoke products. The impressive nature of large golden bouquets can be highlighted by the proper vase and arrangement.

Bespoke products may concern the creation of new flower species, flowers to decorate large vases in a luxury house, multiple vases in a big house, or any other unique works of floral art. Or they can be original piecec entirely.

Golden flowers have the ability to immediately brighten up your space, captivate people’s attention, and create an air of elegance, luxury, and sophistication. Your home will be filled with natural beauty, mixed with a sense of pride in excellence and timeless value.

Luxury decorations of 24ct gold

Adn real connoisseurs can order a bouquet of pure gold. Rarely does an opportunity present itself to make a product of 24ct gold. Pure gold is too soft for jewellery meant to be worn regularly. But flowers don’t mind the softness, placed as they tend to be in vases. Moreover, this most valuable of gold adds a much appreciated investment value to luxury décor.

Placed in luxury interiors

You can place a vase of golden flowers  on a table, in a bookcase, on a mantelpiece, shelf, etc. They’re also perfect if you’re looking for elegant decoration to put on your festive table or use in holiday dining. The bouquets look good in designer glass showcases as well.

For different interior styles

Silver and golden flowers fit essentially any type of home or interior style, thanks to the possibility of choosing the bouquet’s size, vase, or the preferred metal based on the aestheticism of silver and gold in interior spaces.

They’re a luxury interior accessory, suitable for the Boho style; Scandinavian, rustic, countryside, glamour, or industrial interiors; or a romantic, minimalist, vintage, retro, Provence, or art deco style.

And just like they decorate homes, they can do the same when placed in a glass showcase in a study, gust room, lobby, or reception.

Subtlety and charm:

GIYOU flowers seem to infuse the home with their values and emotions  - joy, fineness, grace, elegance. These may accurately express the owner’s personal style and values.

Connection with nature:

Flowers are typically seen as one of the most beautiful parts of nature and traditionally associated with beauty. The GIYOU treatment gives them a unique form, bringing it to your home and adding a touch of elegance and originality. And although a handicraft product, they retain some of the emotions inherent in their fresh counterpart.

Connection with craft:

Pleasure derived from nature’s beauty can intermingle with a sense of pride in unique quality craftsmanship and the object’s generational value.

Eternal beauty:

GIYOU freezes flowers’ beauty in time and makes their joyfulness last longer. Vases stop being "a crystal execution site" where flowers go to die, and become a place that forever stores radiant beauty and family heritage.

Collecting:

The flowers’ diversity, the constant introduction of new species, and the possibility of binding them into bouquets all promote collecting and changes once the decoration is placed in a vase. Thus, your jewellery bouquet can change all the time.

Grace:

Large golden bouquets, bouquets of fine gold, and bespoke products created for luxury interiors give their spaces a touch of excellence and grace.

GIYOU flowers are more of a classic timeless decoration. Yet they also seem to fit in with current interior design trends. Whether it's natural materials, decorative floral realism, handmade craft and artistic creations or a connection with nature (albeit in the form of jewelry) and individuality.
