Dried flowers bring a touch of rustic charm and everlasting beauty to any space. But even these low-maintenance lovelies need a little maintenance to keep them looking their best. Here’s how to maintain the beauty of your dried flowers at home:

• Fight the Fade: Direct sunlight is the enemy of vibrant colors. Keep your dried flowers in a cool, dry place away from windows. Opt for well-lit areas with indirect light instead.
• Moisture Matters: Avoid bathrooms and kitchens where steam and humidity can lurk. These can cause mold growth and make your flowers brittle.

Taming Dust and Time:

• Gentle Touch: Dried flowers are delicate. Regularly remove dust with a soft-bristled brush or a cool blast from a hairdryer (set on low).
• Embrace the Natural Shift: While dried flowers last a long time, their colors will naturally soften over time. This can add a vintage charm, but if you prefer to slow down the fading, consider a light mist of hairspray (from a safe distance) to help lock in the color.

Display with Care:

• Think Container: For extra protection and a touch of elegance, display your dried flowers in airtight containers or shadowboxes. This helps minimize dust and keeps them looking their best.
• Arrangement Artistry: When arranging dried flowers, be mindful of their fragility. Handle them gently and avoid overcrowding them in a vase.
