Open an unusual flower shop, learn the techniques of decoration and arranging, and add one more beautiful aspiration to an ordinary life.
1. Fashionable Flower Studio
BY：Satoshi Kawamoto
Recommendation rating: ★★★★
Difficulty of imitation: ★★★★
Style features: comfortable, DIY
DIY reference requirements: pair with a large amount of cut flowers and green plants, emphasizing the plants as the main subject
Satoshi Kawamoto's flower shop opened in the East Village of New York, focusing mainly on potted green plants and succulents. The shop's biggest feature is the close combination of plants and fashion, and the clever pairing of nature and handcraft, taking in a life full of aesthetic texture at a glance. The DIY plant decorations can be seen everywhere in the environment, giving a kind of comfort like home life.
A flower shop can look for a breakthrough through the following three points:
Special installation pieces - blackboards, picture frames, oil paintings and so on can all serve as unique installation objects. For example, use a blackboard as the shop sign, elegant yet distinctive.
Art exhibition pieces - turn plants into large-scale exhibits and place them on walls or in more conspicuous places, giving the shop a stronger artistic atmosphere.
Everyday home DIY - everyday light bulbs, doors and so on are decorated with plants, letting the flavor of nature fill the house, highly distinctive.
2. Forest Garden
BY：Manuela Sosa
Recommendation rating: ★★★
Difficulty of imitation: ★★★★★
Style features: homey, natural
DIY reference requirements: mainly based on the display approach of minimalist home decor
The glass studio founded by Manuela Sosa is praised in Spain as "the most beautiful flower shop in the world." The warm and romantic studio holds a retro sofa in warm tones, with handwoven blankets full of ethnic color placed to one side. Along with all kinds of books and ceramics, an old wooden table is the place for sorting flowers. And everything in the studio is a beautiful life built up from time and dreams.
A "one-of-a-kind" flower shop has many characteristics. It is usually renovated in the form of a home environment, mainly focused on visits, classes, afternoon tea and venue rental. This type of flower shop is more "avant-garde." In terms of cooperation forms and operation, it has greater room for development. The only thing worth noting is that it must be based on the local cultural environment and local characteristics to create the most "down-to-earth" flower shop.
3. Wild Garden
BY：Landet J?rna
Recommendation rating: ★★★★★
Difficulty of imitation: ★★★
Style features: Japanese minimalism
DIY reference requirements: keep the indoor environment in similar tones as much as possible
The Landet J?rna flower shop opened in Sweden has a "special quality": flowers such as carnations, roses and lilies never appear, yet it displays nameless flowers blooming in the current season, some of them plants still in bud, or berries just showing their bright color. The dried flowers hanging in the air of the shop are graceful and natural, and the green plants placed indoors are full of life, giving the place a more exquisite charm originating from nature.
A flower shop in Japanese minimalist style is mainly bright and concise. The overall tone of Landet J?rna flower shop is light-colored, thus conveying a comfortable feeling. The placement of plants is also very particular, usually pairing a single type of plant with a vessel, then placing some wooden home items. This conveys a unique style and also lets customers feel a sense of "freshness."
4. Paris Garden
BY：Christian Tortu
Recommendation rating: ★★★★
Difficulty of imitation: ★★★★
Style features: life, warmth
DIY reference requirements: make peripheral products with a strong quality of life
The flower shop of Parisian floral designer Christian Tortu has the most unique French romance. He insists on a minimalist design style, fully showing the characteristics and personality of plants. As he says, every stage in the life of a flower is beautiful. Even when it withers, it is still very moving.
Christian Tortu's flower shop has one feature: the installations and displays in the shop are extremely life-oriented, and different types of cut flowers can simply be inserted into flower vessels. For a flower shop that focuses on quality of life, if it can develop peripheral aromatherapy, tableware, customized services and so on, using home goods as the entry point, it can greatly attract customers to spend. The expansion and extension of categories also lays the foundation for the flower shop's distinctive presentation and revenue.
5. Kingdom of Flowers and Plants
BY：Tage Andersen
Recommendation rating: ★★★★
Difficulty of imitation: ★★★★★
Style features: exquisite, elegant
Reference requirements: adopt a European-style display approach
Tage Andersen's flower shop is like a European museum. Chandeliers, oil paintings, birdcages and plants make the flower shop's presentation more abstract, visual and artistic. The most important point of this type of flower shop's style is that it differs from the presentation form of traditional flower shops, mixing different arts with plants so as to highlight its own brand characteristics. Making the flower shop into a kind of "art" is also a fairly good choice.
