If you've ever admired the oversized floral arrangements in luxury home stores, you know they often come with equally eye-catching price tags.
Designer faux floral displays from online sites like Winward Home can easily cost hundreds of dollars, especially when paired with large decorative vases. Fortunately, recreating the look at home is much easier — and far more affordable — than you might think.
DIYer (@staged.by.ana) pointed out in the above video that with a large pottery vase from Hobby Lobby and a selection of faux stems, you can create a custom floral arrangement that looks professionally styled for a fraction of the cost.
The best part? You can tailor the colors, textures, and height to suit your home's aesthetic.
White Distressed Vase, $53.99 at Hobby Lobby
The foundation of this DIY is choosing the right vase. The White Distressed Vase from Hobby Lobby instantly creates the high-end look seen in designer homes and provides enough height to make your arrangement feel substantial.
Whether you opt for a neutral ceramic finish, a textured stone look, or a classic matte white vase, the vessel itself becomes part of the décor. Place it on the floor for maximum impact or style it on a console table, sideboard, or large shelf to create an elegant focal point.
Choosing an oversized vase also means you won't need as many stems to achieve a full, balanced display, making the project even more budget-friendly.
Mix Faux Flowers for a Designer Look
Instead of purchasing a pre-made arrangement, select individual faux flowers and greenery to build your own. Mixing different flower varieties, leafy stems, and branches creates a layered, natural-looking display that feels far more expensive than buying a matching bouquet.
Combining blooms in varying heights and textures helps add depth and movement, while incorporating greenery softens the arrangement and gives it a realistic finish. Since the stems are artificial, you can bend and shape them until you're happy with the overall silhouette.
One of the biggest advantages of faux flowers is that they'll continue looking fresh season after season without watering, trimming, or replacing wilted blooms.
Fill Empty Spaces With Height and Style
Oversized floral arrangements are one of the easiest ways to bring life to areas of the home that can feel unfinished. A tall arrangement works especially well in empty corners where furniture alone doesn't provide enough visual interest.
They're equally effective in entryways, where they create an inviting first impression, or beside fireplaces, staircases, and large windows that benefit from a touch of softness and color. Even open-plan living spaces can feel more cohesive when anchored by a dramatic floral display.
Plus, if you're creating the arrangement yourself, it's easy to switch stems throughout the year. Bright florals can freshen up your home in spring and summer, while rich foliage, dried-look stems, or berry branches can transition the arrangement into autumn and winter.
