Silk Flowers Make Your Vacation Home Hassle Free
The Vacation Home of the 21st Century

Vacation homes were once a luxury reserved for the very wealthy…those who could afford to own the home, pay taxes on the property, and fund a staff to maintain it while it lay dormant for the majority of the year.

Now, many folks have found that owning a vacation home is within reach. Renting the home when it’s not in use can make the retreat’s bottom line work for them…as long as they can keep it occupied for most of the year. Fractional ownerships and timeshares are also methods that have proven to make these homes more affordable.

Part of keeping a house rented (and timeshares sold) is its curb and interior appeal. Decorating a vacation home can pose particular challenges. Items must be chosen that are low maintenance, or are completely self-sustaining.

Enter the silk flower arrangement.


Silk Flowers Put the Vacation in Vacation Home

What’s your idea of a great vacation?  Weeding flower beds? Repotting hanging baskets and greenery containers? Watering and pruning houseplants? Maybe not.

Consider gracing your vacation home with silk flowers and plants . Silk flower arrangements are maintenance-free. They require no watering, pruning, feeding, repotting, or cleaning up after.
If you choose to reserve your vacation home for the sole use of you and your family, and decorate it with silk flowers and plants, it can stand empty for months at a time without any worries about plant and flower maintenance.

If you adorn your vacation home with silk flowers, and rent to tenants, there will be no worries about them taking proper care of your flowers and plants. Besides, what tenant would be happy to learn that they’re responsible for maintaining your plants? I’d be willing to bet you’d either have fewer tenants than you’d like, or a lot of dead foliage.

Silk flowers aren’t reserved for interior decorating. Consider using them to dress up the exterior of your vacation home. Use them in hanging baskets, containers, and window boxes. Dress up the pool, green up the patio, cheer up the front porch. Silk flowers make your vacation home appealing enough to charm potential tenants, while it appeals to your own whimsical dreams of escape.


A Home Away from Home

Your primary home is just that…a home. You’ve infused parts of you into its atmosphere. It’s the place where the rest of world goes away - where you can escape to a world that you have created. And silk flowers play a big part in making it your home. Doesn’t your vacation home deserve the same?

A vacation home should say welcome. It should speak of your own unique decorating style…without the hassle and commitment to flower and plant maintenance. You love what a beautiful silk flower arrangement can add to a room. You love the exotic feeling that silk greenery can add to a patio or library. Now you can have it all, and so can your tenants. Natural looking silk flower arrangements and plants work in harmony with your vacation home to create an atmosphere that isn’t an over-indulgence - but it sure will feel like one.
