If you are a gardener who grows stunning flowers, you probably spend much of your time cutting and arranging them into lush, colorful bouquets once they have bloomed. Oftentimes, gardeners complete this task at their kitchen sinks. However, because this space serves so many purposes, it can get messy quickly. Using a kitchen as a bloom arranging station may even make the space feel crowded and cluttered rather than minimalist. Thankfully, a new interior design trend known as a "bloom room" gives gardeners plenty of space to enjoy their flowers and build arrangements with ease. Also known as "cutting rooms," these spaces typically consist of a large sink and lots of workspace. In addition to building arrangements, they can also be used for potting, cutting, and watering flowers and other plants.
You can store your colorful arrangements in your bloom room before you hand them off to loved ones or use them to decorate your home with flowers. It's also a good idea to use the space to store planters, gardening supplies, and any other items you typically use to care for your flowers or make floral arrangements. If you have enough space for it, you can dedicate an entire room to this trend. However, you certainly don't need an extra unused room to create your own version of a bloom room. Let's dive further into what this trend entails and how you can bring it to life in your own home while keeping things practical.
Create flower arrangements in your own bloom room
A bloom room is a flower gardener's dream. If you do not have an extra room to designate to this trend, however, you can still set up an area within your home to create flower arrangements. For example, if you are one of the many homeowners who has a laundry room with a sink, create a bloom station there. Simply clear out space around the sink to use as a flower arranging work area. If you have a sink in your garage, that's another great place to create this area. You can set up the work area in any other room in your home with enough extra space as well. An outdoor shed is a smart spot, too. If there's no sink within the space, you would just need to keep a watering can or bucket on hand.
Regardless of whether you set your bloom room up in a laundry room, garage, or its own dedicated room inside of your house, it's important to stock up on essentials like shears, planters, soil, floral foam, adhesives, picks, and anchors. Organize your gardening tools by loading them onto a storage system like the Keomaisyto Garden Tool Organizer to keep them accessible in your bloom room. While designed with practicality in mind, these spaces often feature nature-inspired paint colors and decor — though neutrals would also work for a soothing space.
